Dyed badges can be dyed in any colour you like, and we offer Pantone matching. Just send us your Pantone reference with your artwork.

🏷️Playful and colourful merchandise
🎨Designs where a metallic edge would clash
⭐Collectable pin series with a different colour for each design
💡 Tip: Match the dye to your main brand colour and keep enamel colours contrasting, so the design doesn’t blend into the metal. Dyed badges can be made in any colour, and Pantone matching is available, so you can match your brand colour exactly.

What's the difference between dyed metal and enamel colour?
Dye colours the metal outline itself, while enamel fills the areas between the metal lines. Using both lets the outline become part of your colour scheme rather than a gold or silver frame.
Can dyed badges have epoxy?
Yes. As with our other metal badges, you can choose dyed badges with or without an epoxy coating.
Can I have a different dye colour for each design in a series?
Yes. One order can be split across different dye colours, so just tell us which colour you’d like for each design when you ask for a quote.
