With that in mind, we thought it would be a good idea to outline some of the best practices for pin design and talk about how you can implement them in your own project to create the best possible custom pin.
Step 1: Define your needs and goals
Before you start designing, be clear about the purpose and desired effect of your custom badge. Consider the following questions:
- What is the purpose of the badge? As a reward, souvenir, team logo, etc.?
- What message do you want the badge to convey? What is the element or pattern to highlight?
- How many badges are expected? This will help determine the budget and production method.
Step 2: Design the badge
Design is the most critical step in the custom badge process. Here are some suggestions:
- Determine the shape and size of the badge. Round, square, heart or other special shape, choose the shape that suits your needs.
- Choose the appropriate color scheme. Consider the colors associated with your brand or event, and make sure that color combinations and patterns work well with each other.
- Add necessary text or slogans. If needed, adding text or slogans to the badge can better convey the message.
Keep it simple and clear. Avoid overly complex designs to ensure that the badge is still recognizable at a small size.
Step 3: Choose the production method
According to your needs and budget, choose the right production method:
- Hard glaze Details: If you are after high texture, clear detail and durability, choose the hard glaze detail badge.
- Soft glaze Detail: If you are more focused on three-dimensional and color gradient effects, and want to be more economical in cost, choose soft glaze detail badge.
Step 4: Submit order and manufacture
Once you have settled on a design, submit your order and negotiate with us for production details. Ensure that the following are confirmed:
- Number and size of badges.
- Design document submission method and requirements.
- Production cycle and delivery time.
- Prices and payment methods.
Step 5: Acceptance and delivery

- Make sure the quality, color and details of the badge are consistent with your design.
- Check the badge for any blemishes or damage.
- If satisfied, complete payment and arrange delivery method.
