The challenge: delivering 3,000 zinc alloy badges across multiple regions within 3 weeks. The supplier produced standard 40mm badges with painted finish and embossed company logo. Artwork approval took 4 days, with production running at 8 business days. The 100,000 pieces per week capacity enabled rapid fulfillment across the full order quantity.
