How to choose the right product

Quick answer: pick the attachment and material that match how long the item will be worn and the look you want. Consider cost, durability and how the badge will be seen—large, bold designs read better at a distance.

In most cases, choose pin-backs for casual giveaways and metal or enamel for staff or keepsakes. If reusability matters, magnetic or clip badges reduce wear on fabric and are easier to swap.
