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.
BACKING CARDS
Present your custom badges elegantly on high-quality backing cards, perfect for retail display or professional presentation.

A.K.A... Also Known As
With the wide variety of production methods and manufacturers in the custom badge industry, terminology can often be confusing. Many products share similar names or overlapping descriptions for essentially the same item. To make your decision easier, we’ve compiled a clear guide to the most common alternative terms used for this product:
– POLISHED METAL BADGES
– DIE STRUCK BADGES
What are polished metal badges?
Polished metal badges are die struck badges where the design is pressed into the metal as raised and recessed areas, with no enamel colour. The raised areas are polished to a shine, so the design stands out in the metal itself.
Polished metal or enamel badge: which should I choose?
Choose polished metal for a classic, understated look, ideal for corporate, long-service and formal badges. Choose enamel if colour is an important part of your design.
What designs suit polished metal?
Crests, lettering, logos with clear line detail and traditional emblems all look great in metal only. Very fine detail can be lost, and we’ll flag that on your free design proof.
Which plating should I choose?
Polished gold, silver and nickel give a bright, clean shine. Antique finishes darken the recesses so the detail really stands out. See the Plating tab and our plating guide to compare.
