Anyone know a good place to get custom title belts made? I've done the yahoo and google search and found a few places that make some really nice belts, but they want like $1000 each, and quite frankly I think the fighters would rather have the extra grand in their purse than a sweet belt. Either way, I need belts.
I've used titlemma.com for belts for grappling events in the past, and they are cheap, look decent, but there is no real "custom" option where I can create a belt with WCF on the center, or our whole logo in the center, etc. It seems that's where the belts go from $150-$200 all the way up to $1000.
Some of the places are willing to give a discount if we buy a ton up front, but I'll only need 2-3 belts per event, and the events are 3 months apart, so we're talking like 12 belts a year tops.
Anyone know of a decent source to create custom belts?
Also, I'd prefer not to order from Pakistan or something like that. If I have to, I will, but I'd prefer to be able to get an english speaking person on the phone if I run into an issue, and the times I've bought board shorts over seas, I ran into all kinds of delays and issues with the product.
Dammit, I had a guy that was about 600 a belt for GOOD pro wrestling quality belts and I can't remember his info. I'll check my email box and shit and see if I can come up with his website. Plenty of options, he gives you basic drawings and you can have him alter them how you choose and do chrome, gold, metallic, silver, etc... all different styles of finishes for the belts. It's pretty much a add whatever you want to it type of place. Rev
Good options here. I would also suggest talking with a local trophy shop. If they are good, and have the right connections, they should be able to offer some help.
There was a guy that I was talking to at one point that took REPLICA belts and customized them to fit your promotion. He did pretty good work. He was able to take off the WWE or WCW logos and add in whatever you wanted. You'd be spending standard Replica price plus another 100 bucks or so.
Replica price is usually around 200 bucks give or take some.
I'll see if I still have his information somewhere at home. I'm in the office at the moment.
