Butterfly Clasp Fitting

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

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 Cap Fitting

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 Cap Fitting

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

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

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 Pc Joint and Safety Catch

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

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.

Cut out badges (also known as pierced badges, cutout badges, or badges with cut outs) feature intentional openings, holes, or removed sections within the design, creating negative space that adds depth, dimension, and visual interest to the badge.

The term “cut out” refers to the manufacturing process where portions of the metal base (typically brass or steel) are precisely removed—using die-cutting, laser cutting, or stamping—after the design is stamped or formed, rather than leaving the badge as a solid silhouette. This piercing allows for intricate shapes, openwork elements (like windows in logos, hollow letters, or artistic voids), or even transparent effects when combined with enamel or plating.

These badges maintain full structural integrity when properly designed (with adequate spacing between cutouts, usually at least 1.2mm to avoid fragility), resulting in a lightweight, elegant, and eye-catching appearance that stands out more than standard solid badges. Often used in custom enamel pins, lapel pins, or promotional badges, the cut outs enhance the overall aesthetic without altering the core production methods like enameling or plating.
