F.A.Q

Our badges are die struck from Siltone or Suntone metal, unless precious metal is required. These metals are milled for Sun Badge Company and have been chosen for their purity, color, and durability. These metals have excellent polishing, stamping, and soldering qualities. All badges and related ancillary products are solid back and not plated unless otherwise requested. Our suntone metal has a lustrous 14 K gold color and our siltone metal has a rich sterling silver color. Unlike surface plating, these colors permeate throughout the product material.

Our leather products are manufactured from the very highest quality American vegetable tanned leather and are assembled using nylon thread. All product sides are polished to give an extremely finished look.

Hard fired cloisonné enamel, unless otherwise specified, is used at Sun Badge Company as our color fill.Cloisonné is a glass and enameling is an art in which colored glass is applied to an object for aesthetic purposes and durability. Many such enameled ancient Egyptian and Chinese items remain perfectly intact after thousands of years. Cloisonné enamel is applied in moist powder form to the impressions made by our dies to fill letters, numerals, and designs and is then fired at 1500 degrees.
