Plan around the product
Which artwork details make a printed pin useful?
The design is printed beneath a clear surface rather than divided into enamel areas. Use that difference when the artwork depends on closely spaced detail or tonal change.
Colour and tonal changes
Use print when neighbouring tones need to remain part of the same image.
Small lettering within the artwork
Identify the words that must remain readable so we can review them at the intended size.
A clean outline around the print
Frame the printed face without crowding important detail near the outer edge.
Printed detailThe useful details
What does the printed surface keep from your artwork?
Printed artwork sits beneath a clear surface, giving the badge a flat face that can retain detail without using metal lines to divide every colour area.

Before you enquire
Questions about printed pin badges.
Answers about the printed face, clear surface, detailed artwork, fitting, delivery and deadlines.
What is a printed pin badge?+
Printed artwork sits beneath a clear surface, creating a flat badge face without requiring metal lines between every colour area.
When should I choose print instead of enamel?+
Print can suit artwork that depends on closely spaced detail or tonal change. Enamel badges use visible metal to divide the colour areas, giving the face a different construction.
What artwork works well for printed pins?+
Detailed illustrations, tonal changes and clear small marks can suit a printed face. We’ll still review the artwork at the intended finished size.
Which fitting can I choose?+
Choose from a butterfly clasp, magnetic fitting or brooch clip. Tell us how you plan to wear or use the badge and we can work through the choice with you.
What should I include with my quote request?+
Send the best artwork or reference you have, plus the quantity, approximate finished size, intended use and any deadline.
How detailed can a printed patch be?+
Printing allows substantial visual detail, but a finished patch still has physical dimensions. We will check tiny text and microscopic details at actual size.
Plan the badge
What should you decide before ordering printed pin badges?
Start with the original image and identify what must remain visible when it is reduced to badge size.
Printed pin badges place the artwork beneath a clear surface. The image does not need metal divisions between every colour area, making this route useful when the design depends on fine visual detail or tonal change.
Send the best file, sketch or reference you have. Include the quantity and approximate finished size, and tell us which details or lettering matter most. We’ll prepare the production artwork and work through revisions before approval.
The finished outline needs to frame the print without crowding it. Confirm the rear fitting at the same time so the complete badge brief reflects its size, orientation and intended use.
Standard lead time is typically 3–4 weeks after artwork approval, and delivery is free. Express production may be available where feasible, so include any required date when you request a quote.
