Frequently Asked Questions
A hook pin is a two-part metal fastening consisting of a pointed hook (or pin) on the back of your badge and a separate metal clasp. To attach, the hook is pushed through the fabric and then secured into the clasp on the other side, sandwiching the material for a firm hold.
The hook pin is safe for most standard clothing fabrics like cotton, polyester, and wool. However, for very delicate, sheer, or expensive fabrics (like silk or fine knitwear), the sharp point may cause snagging. For these materials, a magnetic or butterfly clutch fastener might be a better option.
Yes, hook pins are designed for reuse. The clasp can be opened and closed multiple times, allowing you to move the badge between different garments. The pin itself is sturdy and should not bend or break with normal use.
Both use a sharp pin, but the fastening mechanism differs. A hook pin uses a hook that latches into a slotted clasp. A butterfly clutch uses a pin that goes through the fabric and is secured by a separate, toothed "butterfly" backing that snaps onto the pin's point. Hook pins are often considered slightly more secure for active wear.
