Best for

Choose badges & buttons if your moment is conference and event identification, campaign launches and activations or staff recognition and milestone awards.

Conference and event identification

Pair a printed tin button or enamel pin with a branded lanyard and card holder. Magnetic-back pins avoid pinholes in delegate blazers — a small detail senior guests notice.

Campaign launches and activations

58mm and 75mm tin buttons are the classic rally piece — full-colour offset print, bold typography, one line of campaign copy. Beautifully democratic and endlessly photographable.

Staff recognition and milestone awards

Hard enamel lapel badges with tone-on-tone plating (antique gold, rose gold, black nickel) read as jewellery rather than merch. The piece that stays on the jacket for years.

Retail and fashion collaborations

Soft enamel pins on a backer card are the gift-with-purchase that gets kept. Consider limited-edition numbering for collector energy — every drop gets posted.

Membership and advocacy

Woven and embroidered fabric badges for uniforms and caps; printed tin buttons for drives and public-facing moments. Both carry a cause with quiet dignity.

“Our enamel pins arrived the week before our milestone dinner and the plating was exactly the tone we'd hoped for. Recipients wore them for the rest of the evening — which tells you everything about how beautifully they landed.”

Tamsin · Head of People Experience
Melbourne professional services firm

“We reorder our conference tin buttons with Sense2 every year. The team remembers our brand codes beautifully and always flags artwork details at 38mm we'd otherwise have missed.”

Asha · Events & Brand Lead
nationwide member organisation

“Three of our delegates posted photos of the badge pack before the opening keynote. Sense2 understood the audience and made the smallest piece of the kit feel like the most considered one.”

How to choose

Start with the register, not the size — that's the part we enjoy most about a badge brief. Tin button badges (25mm through 75mm) are the democratic, campaign-ready piece: full-colour offset print, under a dollar a unit at volume, and the canvas handles photographic imagery, gradients and fine type beautifully. They suit campaigns, rallies, festivals, GWP drops and any moment where you want the brand to feel accessible and of-the-moment. Soft enamel pins are the craft register — recessed metal outlines, raised plating (gold, silver, black nickel, antique brass), colour filled by hand and cured. They photograph with texture and shadow, which is why the design community keeps reaching for them. Hard enamel (cloisonné) takes it further: the enamel is polished flat to the metal so the badge reads as a single jewelled surface. It's the finish we recommend for staff milestone awards, board-level gifting and anything meant to last decades on a jacket. Printed dome badges sit between the two — a printed graphic sealed under a clear epoxy dome, mounted on a metal base. They handle full-colour artwork like a tin button but carry the weight of an enamel pin. Woven and embroidered fabric badges are the uniform register: iron-on, sew-on or Velcro, excellent on caps, polos and workwear. Attachments matter more than people expect. Butterfly clutches are standard and cheap; rubber clutches hold better through a long event; magnetic backs are the executive choice for fine tailoring; bulldog clips suit high-turnover conference use where delegates swap badges between sessions. On sizing: 25mm reads as a mark, 38mm as a statement, 58mm as a campaign, 75mm as a rally. Under 20mm in enamel, fine type starts to close up — our studio will flag that on proof. Always order a pre-production sample on enamel runs. The mould is a one-time investment, and the first strike is the one that tells you the plating, colour fill and line weight are where they need to be. Fast can still feel thoughtful — that's the standard we hold ourselves to.

Can I order a sample of Badges before placing a full order?▾

Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.

What are badges typically used for?▾

Most of this range is chosen for conferences, trade shows and delegate kits. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.

Do promotional lanyards, buttons and stickers actually get kept and used?▾

Promotional buttons, lanyards and stickers generate 600 impressions over their lifetime. 84% of consumers would wear one at least once a month. 62% would keep it for at least a year. Source: Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) Global Advertising Impressions Study, 2026/2027 edition (US-consumer findings) — https://media.asicentral.com/resources/AdImpressionStudy/Ad-Impressions-2026.pdf

What's the minimum order for custom badges and buttons?▾

Tin button badges start at 100 units across 25mm to 75mm sizes. Soft enamel pins typically start at 100-250 units to make the mould economics work. Hard enamel lapel badges start at 50-100 units. Woven and embroidered fabric badges start at 100.

How long do custom badges take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾

Tin button badges run 7-12 business days standard with 5-7 day express production on core sizes. Enamel pins take 15-20 business days including the mould strike, plating and hand-filling. Woven fabric badges run 12-18 business days. Rush production is possible on tin buttons for late campaign briefs — tell us the date and we'll work back from it.

What printing and finishing methods do you offer?▾

Full-colour offset print under mylar for tin buttons, soft enamel with recessed metal outlines, hard enamel (cloisonné) polished flat, printed dome with epoxy resin, die-struck metal without colour fill, and woven or embroidered fabric construction. Plating options include gold, silver, antique brass, black nickel, rose gold and copper. Glitter fill, glow-in-dark and numbered editions available.

Can I see a sample before committing to the full run?▾

Yes. Reference samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse so your team can feel the weight and finish. On enamel runs we recommend a pre-production sample with your actual artwork — it's the strike that confirms plating tone, colour fill and line weight before the full production batch. Samples are charged at cost plus freight and credited back on orders of 100+ units — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order.

Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable badge options?▾

Yes. Recycled-metal tin button shells, FSC-certified paper backer cards, biodegradable badge pouches and woven badges in recycled polyester or organic cotton are all available. Our enamel pins can ship on seeded-paper backer cards that bloom into wildflowers — a beautiful pairing for sustainability-led campaigns.

What's the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel pins?▾

Soft enamel leaves the metal outlines raised above the colour fill, giving a tactile, layered finish that photographs with shadow and texture. Hard enamel (cloisonné) is polished flat after curing, so the surface reads as a single jewelled piece — heavier, more premium, and the finish we recommend for milestone awards and board-level gifting.
