Badges And Giveaways For Trade Shows And Conferences
Trade show giveaways are judged by what survives the flight home. A printed plastic item goes in the hotel bin; a struck metal pin or keychain ends up on a lanyard or a keyring, which is the only form of brand exposure a giveaway actually buys.

The Brief In This Setting
What Buyers Struggle With
- Most giveaways are discarded before the visitor leaves the venue
- Stand budgets are set long before the final visitor numbers are known
- Event artwork often includes photographs that enamel cannot reproduce
- Delegate badges and giveaways come from different suppliers and clash
- Shipping has to reach the venue city, not the head office
What They Actually Need
- A giveaway solid enough that visitors keep it
- Full colour reproduction when the event identity is photographic
- Pins, keychains and badges matched across one order
- Delivery timed and addressed to the event, with a carrier that tracks
- A quantity that suits expected footfall rather than a bulk minimum

- We advise whether enamel or offset printing suits the artwork
- A quote is issued for the full mix of pins, keychains and badges

Logistics
Delivery And Packing
- Individual poly bags so items can be handed out straight from the carton
- Mixed pin, keychain and badge orders packed and counted per item
- Delivery to a venue or a local address rather than only to head office
- Tracked express shipping where the show date leaves no margin
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order?
100 pieces per design, across pins, coins, medals, keychains and patches.
How fast can you deliver?
Samples generally take 3-5 days and mass production generally takes 10-15 days after sample approval. Rush orders are accepted against an expedited fee.
Our event artwork is photographic. Can that be a pin?
Yes, using offset printing with a clear epoxy coating. Enamel needs a metal line between colours, so it cannot reproduce a photograph.
Can you ship directly to the venue?
Yes. Give us the delivery address and date and the carrier is chosen to meet it.
Can pins and keychains match each other?
Yes. Both are made here, so plating and enamel colours carry across the whole order and ship together.
