Custom Pin Badges

Custom pin badges are a versatile way to promote your brand, celebrate an event, recognise achievements, or create something memorable for your organisation.

At Enamel Badges, we produce bespoke pin badges in a range of finishes, including soft enamel, hard enamel, die struck and printed, helping you choose the right option for your design, budget and timescale. Whether you need branded badges for a business, charity, school, club or campaign, our team can guide you from artwork through to production.

Choose the Right Type of Pin Badge

Soft enamel pin badges are one of the most popular choices for custom pin badge designs. They feature raised metal lines with slightly recessed enamel, giving the badge a textured finish and vibrant colour. Soft enamel badges are ideal for brands, events, charities and organisations looking for a high-quality, cost-effective option with strong visual impact.

Hard enamel pin badges have a smooth, polished surface that creates a more refined and premium finish. The enamel is filled level with the metal and polished flat, making hard enamel badges a popular choice for corporate badges, retail products, commemorative designs and any project where a sleek, durable look is important.

Die struck pin badges are made without coloured enamel, using polished or textured metal to create detail and contrast within the design. They are a great choice for formal, traditional or heritage-style badges, and work particularly well for clubs, schools, military-style pieces, awards and premium branded merchandise.

Printed pin badges are ideal for designs with fine detail, gradients, shading or small text that would be difficult to achieve in enamel. Rather than using recessed enamel sections, the artwork is printed directly onto the badge surface, allowing for more design flexibility. Printed badges are a practical option for logos, illustrations and complex artwork that needs to stay true to the original design.
