Custom Badge — Brass with Laser Engraving
We supply badge to garment factories and brands, built in Brass with laser engraving for uniform and corporate programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is plating thickness, which decides how long the badge survives wear, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

How we produce it
- Drawing or reference sample review, with size and finish confirmed
- Material selection and a finish sample or strike-off
- Prototype made to the agreed attachment
- Fit and wash test on the actual garment fabric, then a pre-production sample
- Bulk run with laser engraving applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing to your ratio
Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same plating thickness.
FAQ
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
