At Rocket Charities, we know the importance of the fine detail and sometimes it can be the things that are overlooked in the manufacture of your badges. The finish on the badge can really define your design and take it from a 'pretty good' looking badge to one that's amazing!

We have a wide range of platings we use from standard nickel to satin gilt and antique finishes. There are even black dye and black nickel which work really well with certain styles and designs. We are proud of our expertise and are always more than happy to discuss options with you to make sure you are getting the very best from your badges.

Are your factories audited?

Yes, all of our factories have to pass strict auditing processes, such as Sedex SMETA audits, BSCI, and WRAP, as well as our own internal auditing procedures, which we are happy to share with you.

Can we receive a copy of an audit?

We are very open about our supply chains, so if you’d like to see our policy documents or need a copy of an audit, we would be happy to provide this for you.

Yes, you can read our statement here. We have always taken forced labour very seriously and refuse to work with any factory that shows even a slight discrepancy within their audit or within their practice.
