2 Core Elements of Badge Customization

(1) Badge Logo Design

The badge logo is the core of the overall design, representing the brand, organization, or event theme. When designing, pay attention to the following:

· Use **vector format (AI/vector graphics)** to ensure clear printing.

· Maintain adequate white space between the logo and text.

· Color scheme should conform to the brand's visual guidelines.

Custom badges often include the company logo, event logo, or custom design, which adds symbolic meaning.

(2) Size and Shape Selection

The size and shape of a badge directly affect how it is worn and its visual effect:

✔ Common Sizes

Small size (approx. 25–35 mm): Suitable for everyday wear

Medium size (35–50 mm): Balances visual appeal and comfort

Large size (50 mm and above): Suitable for commemorative displays or badge designs

✔ Shape Variety

A variety of options including round, square, oval, and custom shapes

When choosing the size and shape, ensure that the text and logo on the badge are clearly legible and meet the needs of the intended use.

(3)Personalized Text & Engravings

Adding personalized text (such as names, titles, dates, or mottos) to badges can significantly enhance their emotional value:

Names and dates: Strengthen commemorative significance

Encouraging words: Such as "Outstanding Achievement," "Best Employee"

Themed phrases: Incorporate the significance of the event into the badge

These text contents can be presented using different techniques such as etching, baking paint, and epoxy resin.

(4)The Importance of Packaging Design

One of the keys to truly making a badge a "gift to cherish" is customized packaging:

✔ Recommended packaging:

· Magnetic clasp box, velvet-lined gift box

· Custom-designed gift bag/box

· Personalized greeting card, handwritten greeting card

Exquisite packaging often touches the heart more than the badge itself, while enhancing the overall experience.
