Buying Guide
Custom button badges made in Australia
A badge that falls off mid-event, fades after one wash or arrives with blurry printing creates an impression you didn't intend. Badge-A-Minit button badges are produced on commercial-grade presses — the same machines we manufacture and sell — with a crystal-clear mylar protective cover film over the printed insert, spring-loaded safety clasps that lock firmly in place all day, and full-colour CMYK printing that stays vibrant for years. From a single personalised badge to a run of 10,000 for a national campaign, every unit goes through the same quality check before it leaves our Prospect, SA workshop.
Pin-back vs magnet: which is right for your use?
Pin-back badges are the classic choice for bags, jackets and lapels — lightweight, secure and the format most people picture when they think of a button badge. The Magnet Faster backing is the professional alternative for uniforms, blazers and delicate fabrics where a pin hole isn't acceptable; a strong magnet pair holds the badge invisibly without fabric damage. For promotional giveaways and display use, Fridge Badge Magnets turn any finished badge into a keepsake or brand touchpoint on any metal surface — popular at markets, events and fundraisers.
Size guide: matching size to use
25mm is the smallest and most widely used for everyday pinback badges and campaign buttons — low cost, wearable on almost anything. 35mm is the go-to for school projects, fundraisers and most promotional orders where readability matters. 57mm gives you space for clear logos, slogans and event artwork. 85mm makes a statement — ideal for large display pieces, photo badges and where maximum visual impact is needed. Want something with a more permanent, premium feel? Our lapel pins are worth considering alongside these.
