Where do i get metal plates from? Pic attached

[Mayathebee]

Hello everyone, 

Have anyone used metal plates on their leatherwork? I do see them riveted on belts and bags but have no clue what are they're called professionally, and only advice i got in hardware store is to order a big plate and cut it to my size. I dont have necessary tools to do that, so would be great if you guys could point me the right direction or at least enlighten me what thiss bloody thing is called i attach pic of what type of plates i mean. many thanks in advance xx maya

This won't be the most economical way to go , but at the mall they have these little kiosks that make name plates and the like.

Here is a link I just found.

Try stores that carry jewellery making supplies. I've seen these type of plates there before.

or Trophy shops/suppliers

A badge making company should make them

Sometimes we just need a different set of eyes looking at the problem from the outside.
