What Are Button Badges?
Button badges — also known as pin badges or promotional badges — are the most affordable and accessible type of custom pin available in Malaysia. They are produced by printing your design onto a paper or mylar surface, which is then encased in a metal shell and sealed with a clear plastic dome cover. The result is a vibrant, full-colour badge that can reproduce any design, logo, or photograph with precision.
Unlike enamel pins which are made from metal with colour fill, button badges use digital printing — making them significantly more cost-effective for large volumes and ideal for situations where budget matters more than premium finish. They are the go-to choice for events, school activities, awareness campaigns, and any high-volume promotional use.
