Release Program Here's how it works: If you have 85 employees, you buy 100 badges and we engrave and ship 85 of them. We hold onto the extra 15 badges for you. When you hire a new employee, You will go to www.badgerelease.com and enter the personalization information for the new badges you need. Your released badges will be shipped via First Class Mail within 3-4 working days. You will have pre-paid for the badges on hold so there are no small bills to pay! We will hold your badges for up to 2 years but if there is no activity (ie. no releases) from your program for one year, your program will be considered "abandoned" and any remaining badges will be discarded.
