What does it look like?
Polished copper plating gives your badge a warm, reddish shine that feels a little different from the usual gold or silver. It catches the light softly and sits comfortably alongside earthy and heritage colour palettes.
Best for
🎖️Craft breweries, distilleries and food brands with a warm, artisan look
🏷️Heritage, industrial and engineering-themed designs
🎨Anniversary or commemorative badges where you want something other than gold
⭐Merchandise that needs to stand out from silver-toned badges
💡 Tip: Copper looks its best next to warm enamel colours such as cream, deep green, navy and burgundy. Very pale yellows can get lost against it.

Polished or antique copper: what's the difference?
Polished copper is bright, warm and shiny. Antique copper has darkened recesses and a weathered, vintage look, rather like an old coin.
Is copper the same as bronze?
Not quite. If you want a bronze look, for example for third-place awards, choose antique copper, which is often called bronze.
Can copper plating be used on medals, coins and keyrings?
Yes. Polished copper is one of the plating options on our medals, coins and metal keyrings as well as badges. See the Plating tab on each product page.
