Metal Badges
Personalized Metal Badges Perfect Lepal Pin 2/3D Design
Die cast lapel pin badges made to a custom size anywhere from 1-20cm and a thickness from 1-10mm, produced through die casting, polishing, plating and enamel work. Colour is applied as hard enamel, soft enamel, printing or laser, and the body can be alloy, iron, stainless steel, brass or copper depending on the finish and budget. Companies use them as logo pins for clothing and uniforms, with samples in 5-7 days and mass production in 10 days.
Key Benefits
What This Product Gives You

- Six plating colours including rose gold and antique tone distinguish badge tiers without redesigning the art
- Hard enamel, soft enamel, printing and laser colouring cover both flat logos and fine detailed artwork
- Four backing types mean one badge design fits clothing, a bag and a lanyard

Problems Solved
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Printed name badges look temporary on a uniform that is worn every day
- A single plating option leaves no way to distinguish grades or tenure within one pin design
- Thin badges bend when pinned through heavy fabric and never sit flat again
- Soft enamel on a highly detailed logo blurs the fine elements into each other
- Backing types that pierce fabric are unusable on garments that must not be damaged

Comparison
Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Printed plastic name badges | Cast metal keeps its finish through daily uniform wear, while plastic is lighter and cheaper for short term event use |
| Die-struck badges without enamel | Enamel adds brand colour to the design, though a plain die-struck finish gives a more restrained metal-only look |
| Embroidered patches | A metal badge transfers between garments and does not fade in the wash, whereas a patch cannot be lost off a jacket |

- Approve the 5-7 day sample before booking the 10 day production window
