Custom Made Badges

In today's competitive business landscape, finding unique and creative ways to promote your company is essential. 

Custom badges present a discrete yet highly effective method for spreading the word about your business. Incorporating your company's logo, colours, and branding elements into these wearable accessories can create a lasting impression on potential customers while reinforcing brand identity.

Why Are Custom Badges a Must-Have for Your Business and What Are Some Creative Ways to Use Them?

Badges are a fun, eye-catching and budget-friendly way for businesses to get noticed. Businesses use them at expos to spark conversations, include them as branded giveaways in online orders, or hand them out as loyalty perks. Others go bold with staff wearing custom designs in-store or may even create collectible series for fans.

Here are several ways you can make custom badges work for your own business:

Enhanced Brand Visibility: 

Custom badges are a conversation starter, drawing attention to your company's name and logo. As employees or customers wear these badges, they become walking advertisements, increasing your brand's exposure. Perfect for a convention or expo. 

Cost-Effective Marketing: 

Custom badges are an affordable option compared to other promotional items or marketing campaigns. They allow you to reach a wider audience without breaking the bank.

Versatility: 

Custom badges can be used in various settings, such as events, trade shows, conferences, and even within the workplace. They can also be tailored to match your brand's unique aesthetic, making them suitable for any industry. 

Employee Morale and Recognition: 

When your employees wear custom badges, they feel a sense of pride and belonging. Badges can also recognise achievements, milestones, and contributions, fostering a positive work environment.

Customer Loyalty:

Providing customers with custom badges allows them to showcase their support for your business. Giving them badges can create a sense of loyalty, encouraging repeat patronage and word-of-mouth referrals.

Investing in custom badges for your business is a subtle yet highly effective marketing tool. By creating wearable and eye-catching promotional items, you can boost brand visibility, foster customer loyalty, and enhance employee morale, all while staying within budget.

FAQs

Can I Order Custom Badges With Different Designs In One Order – And How Do I Create Them?

Absolutely. You can include as many designs as you like in a single order. Just create each badge individually in our design studio, add them all to your cart, and we’ll take care of the rest. No extra steps, no hidden fees – just the flexibility to bring all your ideas to life in one go. 

Outside of the design studio, you can also upload designs you’ve made through the use of one of our Photoshop or InDesign artwork templates.

When it comes to pricing, the same bulk savings per quantity apply if you’re having the same badge type/size produced. Differing designs will not impact the bulk pricing. So, you could have 1,000 25mm badges with the same design or 1,000 25mm badges with differing designs, and the cost would be the same to manufacture.

Is There A Minimum Order?

No minimums here! You can order one badge or a hundred. Whether you're planning a party, testing a new design, or stocking up for a big event, you’ve got the freedom to create exactly what you need – no bulk commitments required.

How Long Does It Take To Create Custom-Made Badges?

Standard production generally takes four business days, plus delivery time. If you're in a rush, we offer a two-business-day expedited production option on certain badge types. If expedited production is available for the specific badges you want created, you’ll find the option included on the product page. Just select it for checkout and we’ll get your badges made faster – without skimping on quality.

Is Shipping Free?

Standard shipping is free throughout Australia on all custom badge orders over $125. No promo code needed – the discount kicks in automatically once your cart hits the threshold.

What Are The Latest 2025 Trends In Custom Badge Designs?

2025 has seen the return of some classic design languages that trended during the early 2000s. These include bold typography, playful gradients, Y2K-style graphics, and designs that stand out on social media. 

There’s also a notable rise in badges sporting QR codes, allowing businesses to pair digital touchpoints with physical merch. Matching sets,  such as aligned badges, magnets and keyrings, are trending at events, expos, and for brand bundles.

What’s The Best Way To Make My Personalised Badge Design Look Professional?

Here are a couple of key pointers to keep in mind. Start with high-contrast colours and keep your layout clean. Less text means more impact. If you’re adding a logo, make sure to use a high-res version so it prints sharp. You don’t want to skimp on this as lower resolution detail can impact the perceived professionalism of your brand. 

Our design studio gives you real-time previews, and our templates are designed to make your badge look polished right from the get-go.

How Do I Match My Custom Badges With Other Make Badges Products Like Keyrings And Magnets?

Stick with consistent colours, fonts, and imagery across products. Our design studio lets you reuse or tweak your badge design for keyrings and magnets, so your whole set feels cohesive. It’s perfect for merch kits, themed packs, or building a recognisable brand look.

What Is The Smallest And Largest Size Available For Personalised Badges At Make Badges?

Our circular badge sizes range from a neat 25mm (great for subtle designs) to a bold 89mm (hard to miss!). The most popular sizes sit in the middle – 57mm is our all-rounder. We also have rectangular custom-made badges that measure up to 90mm x 65mm,  as well as diamond and square options of 50mm x 50mm.

Each size and shape works well for different purposes, and our design tool gives you a clear preview so you know exactly what you’ll get in the end.
