Order Custom Badges – Guide to Badge Types, Materials & Use Cases

One Badge Range, Endless Possibilities

At YesLogo, we offer an extensive range of custom-made badges, produced using different materials, techniques, and finishes, each designed to suit specific applications, environments, and brand identities.

Whether you are creating badges for professional uniforms, fashion branding, promotions, sports, security services, schools, clubs, or events, the right badge type makes a real difference in appearance, durability, and perception. That’s why we don’t limit customers to one solution — instead, we provide a complete badge ecosystem, from classic textile badges to modern technical materials.

Our badge range includes:

• Textile-based badges such as embroidery, woven, chenille, and hybrid embroidery & printing

• Molded and technical badges such as PVC, TPU, and silicone

• Premium materials such as leather and specialty combinations

• Advanced production techniques including stitching, molding, printing, embossing, and layered designs

Each badge type has its own visual character — from warm and traditional to modern and technical — and is suited to different types of use, wear, and branding goals.

To help you choose confidently, we guide you step by step through the process using our Dynamic Product Design Form. Based on your selections, you can define your badge specifications clearly, while our Auto Color Matching Tool ensures your logo colors are reproduced accurately across materials and techniques.

If you’re unsure which badge type fits your application best, you can simply select “Give Us Advice / Recommendation” — our specialists will review your use case and propose the most suitable solution.
