BUTTERFLY CLUTCH FITTING

A butterfly clutch (or military clutch) is ideal for badges due to its ease of use and flat appearance on clothing. The simple push-on mechanism allows quick, secure attachment without tools, while the low-profile flat back lies smoothly against fabric, preventing bulk or snags.

SAFETY BROOCH FITTING

A safety brooch is ideal for badges due to its secure swivel locking mechanism, which twists to firmly hold the pin and prevent accidental loss—unlike standard pins. Perfect for uniforms or collectibles, it ensures all-day attachment with easy removal.

JOINT AND CATCH FITTING

A joint and catch fitting (also known as a simple brooch or C-catch backing) is a straightforward, traditional option for custom badges. It features a hinged pin that simply hooks into an open catch loop—no rotating lock or spring mechanism—allowing for quick and easy attachment to garments. This classic design is lightweight, cost-effective, and ideal for lighter badges or temporary wear where speed matters more than maximum security.

RUBBER CLUTCH FITTING

A rubber clutch (also known as a PVC or soft clutch) is an excellent choice for badges, offering superior comfort and effortless application. The simple push-on design allows for quick and tool-free attachment or removal, while the soft, flexible material provides a gentle grip that sits comfortably against clothing or skin, reducing irritation during extended wear.

FLAT CLAP FITTING

The Flat Cap fitting, also known as the deluxe clutch, provides a sleek and professional finish for custom badges. Its low-profile flat back design ensures the badge sits almost flush against clothing, delivering a clean, polished appearance with no visible bulk. The secure push-on mechanism allows for easy, tool-free attachment while maintaining excellent hold throughout the day.

MAGNET FITTING

A magnet fitting is a modern, damage-free option for custom badges. It uses powerful neodymium magnets—one on each side of the fabric—to securely hold the pin in place without piercing clothing, eliminating holes, snags, or damage to delicate materials. Super easy to apply and remove, it’s perfect for uniforms, suits, silk blouses, or any garment where preserving the fabric is a priority, while still providing strong, reliable attachment for everyday wear.

2 Piece Joint and Catch Fitting

This fitting is essential for badges with unique shapes or cut-outs due to it being in 2 pieces rather than 1 with a long bar. A 2 piece joint and catch fitting (also referred to as a 2 piece simple brooch) is a classic, no-fuss choice for uniquely shaped badges. It uses a hinged pin that hooks directly into an open catch loop—without any rotating lock or spring—for fast and simple attachment to clothing.

2 Piece Joint and Safety Catch Fitting

This fitting is essential for badges with unique shapes or cut-outs due to it being in 2 pieces rather than 1 with a long bar. A 2 Piece Joint and Safety Catch fitting is an excellent choice for badges thanks to its reliable swivel locking mechanism, which rotates to securely hold the pin in place and prevent accidental detachment—far superior to basic open catches. Ideal for uniforms or valuable collectibles, it provides confident all-day wear while allowing simple, tool-free removal.

Screw and Nut fitting

A screw and nut fastening is a premium choice for badges thanks to its threaded screw-back mechanism, which twists securely onto the pin post for an ultra-reliable hold that virtually eliminates accidental loss—much stronger than standard push-on clutches. Ideal for high-value collectibles, heavy badges, or frequent wear, it offers maximum security with straightforward attachment and removal using the knurled nut.

Our stunning enamel badges are made using premium enamels that are colour matched using the solid coated Pantone collection for unmatched vibrancy, ensuring every design pops with professional grade enamel that lasts.

What are 3D Badges?

3D badges (also known as 3D lapel pins, 3D die-cast pins, full relief pins, cast 3D pins, or modeled 3D badges in the custom pin and badge industry) feature raised, sculpted, multi-level designs that create genuine three-dimensional depth and realism, making elements like figures, architecture, animals, faces, or logos appear lifelike and protruding from the base.

The term “3D” refers to the advanced manufacturing process, typically die-casting (where molten metal, often zinc alloy, is injected under high pressure into a custom mold) or sometimes rubber molding/casting, allowing for complex raised relief, varying thicknesses, curved surfaces, and intricate sculpting that goes far beyond the flat or simple embossed effects of standard 2D badges. Unlike traditional enamel pins, which are primarily 2D with colour fills, 3D badges focus on the metal itself for dimensionality—enamel (soft or hard) can be added selectively for colour, but the core visual impact comes from the sculpted metal contours.

These badges offer exceptional detail and a premium, tactile feel, with full structural integrity when properly moulded, resulting in eye-catching, high-end pieces that stand out dramatically on lapels, uniforms, or displays. Often used for intricate logos, mascots, military insignia, or commemorative items, 3D badges provide a luxurious, sculptural aesthetic without relying solely on colour or flat enameling, though they may be combined with plating, polishing, or epoxy for added shine and protection.

What artwork do I need for a 3D badge?

Send us whatever you have: a logo, a sketch, or photos of the object or character from more than one angle if possible. Our design team will work out the depth and detail and send you a free design proof to approve before anything is made.

What's the difference between a 3D badge and a standard metal badge?

A standard metal badge has two flat levels, raised and recessed. A 3D badge is sculpted with many levels and curves, so faces, animals, buildings and mascots stand out with real depth.

Which finish shows off 3D detail best?

Antique finishes are especially good, because the darkened recesses exaggerate the depth. Antique nickel, antique brass and antique gold are popular choices for sculpted designs.

Can I add colour to a 3D badge?

Yes. Enamel colours can be added to selected areas, while the sculpted metal still does most of the work.
