Plan around the product
Where should the rainbow plating appear in your design?
Rainbow plating affects the visible metal rather than sitting behind the artwork. Give it deliberate space so the finish contributes to the badge face and outline.
Plated linework between shapes
Use the metal divisions as part of the artwork instead of treating them as production marks.
An outer edge that carries the finish
Consider how much plated metal should frame the silhouette of the badge.
Artwork that stays clear beside the plating
Keep the main symbol or lettering readable while the visible metal adds changing colour around it.
Rainbow plated metalThe useful details
How does rainbow plating change the badge?
The colour-shifting finish appears across the visible metal areas. The amount and position of that metal therefore affect how strongly the plating contributes to the finished design.

The plating belongs to the metal
It appears through exposed metal areas, linework and the outside edge.
Artwork controls how much is visible
The balance between the main design and open metal determines where the finish can be seen.
Scale and fitting still matter
Review the artwork at finished size and confirm the rear fitting before production.
How should the plated metal support the artwork?
Plan the visible metal as an intentional part of the badge face.
Open metal areas
Give the colour-shifting finish a broader visible area within the design.
Plated linework
Carry the finish through the lines that separate or define the artwork.
Plated outer edge
Use the outside border to frame the main mark with the rainbow finish.
How will the badge be worn?
Choose the fastening that best matches how you plan to wear or use the finished badge.
Butterfly clasp
A compact clutch that pushes onto the pin post at the back of the badge.
Magnet
A fastening option that holds the badge in place without a pin passing through the material.
Brooch clip
A bar-style fastening with a pin and catch on the back of the badge.
Would you like a backing card?
A backing card is optional. Add one when the badge needs extra space for branding, product information, gifting or display.
Add a backing card
Present each badge on a card with the branding or information you want to include.
Badge without a card
Choose the badge on its own when it will be handed out, packed separately or attached straight away.

Will the artwork and plating remain balanced at badge size?
The main mark still needs to read clearly when the colour-shifting metal is visible beside and around it. We’ll review that balance at the intended finished size.

- Tell us which lettering, symbol or shape must remain visually dominant.
- 02
- Show where the visible metal should contribute colour rather than simply divide the artwork.

Before you enquire
Questions about rainbow plated pin badges.
Answers about the colour-shifting finish, visible metal, artwork, fitting, delivery and deadlines.
What is a rainbow plated pin badge?+
It is a metal pin badge with a colour-shifting plated finish across the visible metal areas.
Where will the rainbow plating show?+
The finish appears wherever metal remains visible, including open areas, linework and the outside edge used in the approved design.
What artwork suits rainbow plating?+
Artwork that deliberately leaves visible metal gives the plating room to contribute to the design. We’ll review the balance at the intended badge 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 send for a quote?+
Send the artwork or idea, quantity, approximate finished size, intended use and any deadline. Tell us which areas you expect to remain as visible plated metal.
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 rainbow plated badges?
Begin with the visible metal. Its position determines where the colour-shifting finish becomes part of the badge.
Rainbow plated pin badges use a colour-shifting finish across the exposed metal. The artwork therefore needs to consider the metal areas, linework and outside edge as visible parts of the design.
Send your logo, illustration, sketch or reference and identify the mark that must remain clearest. Include the quantity and approximate finished size so we can review the balance between the artwork and plating at badge scale.
Decide whether the plating should have broader open areas or appear mainly through finer metal divisions and the outside edge. The rear fitting can then be considered around the approved shape and orientation.
Artwork and revisions are free before approval. Standard lead time is typically 3–4 weeks after artwork approval, and delivery is free. Include any required date so we can check whether express production is feasible.
