Buying Guide

Before You Order Custom Badges

Artwork and File Checklist

  • Vector logo: send AI, EPS or PDF; for pin badges send artwork with 3 mm bleed.
  • Name list: send names, titles and languages (Arabic and English) in a spreadsheet.
  • Fixing: choose pin, magnet or clip; magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
  • Colours: share Pantone references for enamel or branded colours.
  • Size: choose the badge size to suit text length and visibility.

Quality and Safety Notes

  • Magnets: strong magnets should be kept away from pacemakers and electronics; provide pin options for staff who need them.
  • Durability: engraved and metal badges last longest; paper-faced badges are for short-term use.
  • Bilingual text: Arabic and English names can both be engraved or printed.
  • Replacement: order a few spare badges for new joiners.
  • Sharp edges: metal and enamel pins have sharp points; follow school and site safety rules.

Pin badges are small round printed badges used for promotion or fun, while name badges carry a person's name and role and are usually rectangular and engraved or printed. Name badges are normally more durable and professional.

Magnetic badges avoid making holes in clothing and are quick to put on and take off. Pin badges are cheaper and more secure. Some people with pacemakers should avoid magnets, so provide pin options for them.

Yes. We can engrave or print bilingual names. Send the list in a spreadsheet with both language versions so we can check spelling in the proof.

Common round pin badge sizes are 25, 32, 38, 44, 58 and 75 mm. Larger badges show more detail; smaller ones are cheaper and good for simple logos.

Enamel lapel pins are metal pins with colour-filled areas and gold, silver or nickel plating. They suit awards, memberships, clubs and premium brands. They usually need a mould and larger minimum quantities.

Engraved and printed name badges are permanent. For changing names choose badge holders with replaceable inserts or order spare blank badges for new staff.

Printed name badges and pin badges can be ordered in small quantities, while enamel pins and patches need larger runs. Share your quantity and we will confirm options at the quote stage.
