Metal Badge Accessories Guide: Which Fastener to Choose When?

Choosing the right fastener for your metal badges is crucial—it not only ensures a secure fit but also adapts to different usage scenarios and protects clothing. Based on badge size, usage needs and wearing scenarios, this practical guide helps you pick the perfect metal badge fastener in seconds.

Butterfly Clasp | First Choice for Large-Size Badges, Stable & Non-Shaking

Recommended Scenarios: Metal badges with diameter ≥ 38mm, thick thickness or heavy weight; also suitable for large-size badges that need to be worn repeatedly, such as exhibition badges and cultural and creative peripherals.
Core Advantages: The double-clamp design distributes force more evenly, providing much better fixation for heavy badges than ordinary pins. It won’t tilt or fall off when worn, and the clamping structure also reduces clothing wear caused by badge shaking.
Suitable For: Large-size commemorative badges of cultural and creative brands, corporate anniversary large badges, custom large exhibition badges.

American Pin | Versatile Basic Style, Preferred for Small-Size Badges

Recommended Scenarios: Regular-size metal badges with diameter ≤ 38mm; a universal choice for daily wear, souvenirs and small-batch custom badges.
Core Advantages: Simple structure, high cost-effectiveness, smooth opening and closing. It fits most light clothing (shirts, canvas bags, sweaters, etc.) and has mature production technology, making it the most basic and classic accessory for metal badges.
Suitable For: Fan support small badges, small-size brand peripherals, custom mini holiday badges, daily wear decorative badges.

Magnet | Pin-Free & Trace-Free, Friendly to Delicate Clothing

Recommended Scenarios: High-grade clothing that is easy to snag or leave holes, such as silk, chiffon, wool and suits; for children and the elderly to wear; smooth surfaces that do not require punching (such as refrigerators, metal desktops, office whiteboards).
Core Advantages: Pin-free design completely avoids clothing holes and snags. The magnetic force is moderate, making it easy to put on and take off. It can also be directly adsorbed on metal surfaces for multi-purpose use.
Suitable For: High-end business badges (worn with suits), high-end light luxury cultural and creative peripherals, children’s cartoon badges, home decorative metal badges.

Detachable Pin | Secure & Anti-Fall, Necessary for High-Frequency Use

Recommended Scenarios: Metal badges that need to be worn for a long time, used outdoors or disassembled frequently; worn on rough fabrics such as backpacks, work clothes and hats; important commemorative badges and collectible badges.
Core Advantages: The detachable design of the pin and base locks tightly after buckling, which is resistant to pulling and falling off. It is not easy to loosen even during intense activities, and its stability is several times higher than that of ordinary pins. It can also cope with wear and tear of rough fabrics.
Suitable For: Outdoor work badges, work clothes matching badges, backpack decorative badges, collectible commemorative metal badges.

Cotter Pin | Exclusive for Thick Fabrics, Suitable for Industrial/Heavy-Duty Scenarios

Recommended Scenarios: Worn on extra-thick fabrics such as canvas bags, denim, work clothes and thick sweaters; industrial scenarios, outdoor work clothes, backpack pendant metal badges.
Core Advantages: The cotter pin is thicker and harder, which can easily penetrate thick fabrics. The plug-in fixing design is far more stable than ordinary pins on thick fabrics, and it is not easy to bend or fall off.
Suitable For: Outdoor brand peripherals (worn on backpacks), denim clothing matching badges, industrial enterprise employee work clothes badges.
