What to consider
- Size: 15–25 mm is common for lapel badges; medals use larger diameters to be readable from a distance.
- Simple design: Fine text disappears on small surfaces; a simplified version of the logo works better.
- Back fitting: Pin, screw or magnetic fittings are chosen by use (options vary by product).
- Quantity and time: Badges with doming are fast thanks to in-stock bodies; die-cast items need a mould.
