Personalised Badges for Teachers, Students & Classrooms

Our school badges can be utilised for teachers, students, and all other staff who work there. Unique designs can denote different roles, helping simplify the experience of identifying the right staff member or student for different situations.

Celebrate Important School Days & Reward Students Achievements

Our badges can be used to celebrate important days in the school calendar, such as founding anniversaries, school productions, major sporting wins, last days for grade 12 students, or as part of events such as student award nights. 

Outside of events and important days, you can also provide badges to students as rewards for ongoing achievements - such as good behaviour, high marks, attendance, and more. 

Custom Name Badges for Teachers & Staff

For teachers, administration, and other school staff, custom name badges are the way to go. These come in various sizes and finishes, including gloss white, full colour, brushed gold, and brushed silver. Full colour name badges offer the most versatility if you want an array of different school colours and tones to feature on the badges, but key features such as school logos or symbols can be produced in colour on the other finishes, as well.

Reusable name badges, which allow you to easily swap out names, are a good choice for temp staff or substitute teachers who are filling in for an absent teacher - be that for a day or a number of weeks. 

Boost Fundraisers, School Initiatives, and Events with Badges

Heighten the visibility of school fundraisers, initiatives, and other events with an array of different event badges. These can help get more eyes on an upcoming event, or serve as a memento of an important initiative that helps keep it front-of-mind. The same goes for sporting events and teams, where badges offer students, proud parents, and other attendees a way to show their support.

Personalised Badges for Rewards, Events & School Fundraisers

There are several ways to leverage badges for different initiatives and fundraisers. 

They can be a reward for students or parents who win an event task, or could sport a striking design as an item for purchase as part of a fundraiser. As an example, imagine turning different art students’ work into purchasable badges for an art-focused event (with the student’s permission, of course). It’s a way to showcase the talents of your students and provide unique mementos to those who attend and invest in your school.

Design Custom Sports & Team Badges for Your School

Our school badges are also a great option for driving support and celebrating your school’s sports teams. Whether you’re talking about your school’s own house teams or the teams that represent your school at inter-school competitions (rugby, soccer, AFL, swimming, etc.), custom sports and team badges inspire pride and lead to a more supportive sporting culture within your school.

Students could wear these during house competitions or showcase them proudly to back their fellow peers taking part in inter-school competitions. You can customise these badges to your heart’s content, packing them full of colour, showcasing your school mascot, and matching the logos to the different sports codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add my school logo to name badges?

Absolutely. When you go to customise your school badge or name badge, you’ll be able to upload your school logo to the design via our native Design Studio. Make sure to have a high-quality file of your school logo - we recommend having a high-quality PNG file with a transparent background to ensure the final result looks crisp.

What backing options are best for kids & students?

Our range of badges include three key fastening types: pin, magnetic, and clip. For younger kids and students, we’d recommend utilising our clip or magnetic fastener options as they’re safer to handle. For older students (in secondary/high school), our pin fasteners are fine to use.

We have a school event coming up - how soon can I receive my badges?

If you have a school event that is fast approaching, you have a couple options available to get your badges to you ASAP. With typical production times, orders are usually ready for despatch after 4 working days. To speed up the process, you can select Rush Production as part of your order and production time will be sped up to be completed within 2 business days. This option can be coupled with express shipping, so that any orders should arrive within one to two days of despatch, carrier-dependent.

To get the fastest turnaround, we strongly recommend submitting an order as early as possible on a Monday, then selecting Rush Production and express shipping. This will guarantee the most efficient timeline for you.
