Top tips for designing Metal Pins and Badges

• Simple and bold design. Remember less is better!
• Choose contrasting colours. Dark enamel colours look best with bright gold or silver (nickel) plating. If your colours are predominantly light then you may consider black nickel plating for the raised metal areas.
• Choose any reasonable size and shape. Action Badges will create a die to produce your design. Don’t restrict your imagination - almost anything is possible!

Enamel Colours

A wide range of colours is available. Keep in mind that lettering and outlines are nearly always raised metal with enamel colours to fill the recessed areas. Generally up to four or five colours are available as standard with Action Badges’ metal pins and badges. Extra colours are available at a slightly higher price.

Finishes

Your metal badge or pin can be made in a choice of gold, nickel (silver colour), bronze or black nickel metal plating. Choose a bright or antique-style finish.

Attachments

Your choice of attachment is entirely up to you. A simple pin, safety pin or butterfly clutch fitting are the most popular choices. Many other fittings are available, including stick pins, key rings, cuff links, tie bars etc. Action Badges will be happy to advise you on the best fitting to suit the item you have designed.

Included in our standard price are the post & butterfly clutch, the brooch pin and stickpin.

Unique Numbering

Action Badges can provide unique numbering on each pin or badge, if required. This may be useful to keep track of your badges and to whom they’ve been issued.
