About Us...The Hartford Badges story...
Hartford Badges was a spin off of Hartford Engraving, the first computerized
engraving house in the country. Hartford Engraving was one of the first to
use ID card printers for name badge production. The division producing
full color name badges and ID cards was later spun off as a separate company,
becoming Hartford Badges.
Hartford Badges is a wholly owned division of Decision Support Dynamics, LLC.
Managed and owned by the brother and sister team of Peter and Ann Kingsbury.
We moved to our new office in May of 2000. We're located in Western New York State, about 20 miles south of Buffalo.

Our Production Process
 | Our production process uses Dye-Sublimation, printed into polished PVC for
permanently vibrant colors and sharp detail |
| This printing process can produce up to 16,000,000 colors on a name badge
or photo ID card. The sky’s the limit! |
| A clear protective overlay provides UV protection and keeps the badge from
fading |
| Full color badges print at 300 DPI with a full bleed for photographic
quality |
| Our full color process is more versatile than engraving and unlike hot
stamps our colors won’t rub or chip off |
| The full color process gives much more artistic freedom than was ever
available with traditional engraved badges |
