What Are the Different Backing Options for Badges?

Imprint Plus offers multiple badge backing options so you can choose what works best for your team’s environment, dress code, and comfort. Each backing is designed for secure wear and long-term use, whether your team is on the move or stationed at a front desk.

Our standard badge backings include: 

 

Magnetic Backings

Magnetic backings are our most popular option. They are:

• Secure and reliable throughout the day
• Gentle on clothing, with no need to pierce fabric
• Ideal for professionals in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and office settings

Each magnetic set includes a front plate and a strong magnet bar that attaches behind clothing to hold the badge in place.

 

Pin Backings

Pin backings are a classic choice that offer:

• A simple, cost-effective solution
• Reliable hold for uniforms or thicker fabrics
• Compatibility with most standard badge sizes

These are often preferred for temporary events, conferences, or environments where clothing type is less of a concern.
