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.

– PRINTED METAL BADGES
– OFFSET PRINTED BADGES
– DIGITALLY PRINTED BADGES

Printed metal badges are custom badges where full-colour designs, logos, or artwork are directly printed (often via offset or digital processes) onto a base of brass or stainless steel, allowing for exact reproduction of complex details, gradients, and photographic elements without the alterations or limitations required in traditional enamel production. These badges are typically finished with a clear epoxy coating (or dome) to protect the printed surface from scratches, fading, and wear, adding durability and a glossy appearance. Compared to enamel badges, printed metal badges are generally thinner and lighter, making them a cost-effective, high-fidelity option for intricate or full-colour designs.

Epoxy is a clear, protective resin coating applied over badges to enhance durability and add a smooth, glossy finish. It protects the print from scratches and fading, while making the surface feel smoother and less textured. This results in a polished, professional look.
