If you need badges printed in Singapore for a company event, the simplest route is to order direct from a corporate gifting supplier such as Gift Hub, which handles artwork, production and delivery in one order. Badge printing in Singapore covers four quite different products: full-colour button badges, tin button badges, metal enamel pin badges, and name badges for staff. They don't share the same artwork requirements, minimum order or price, which is why "how much is a badge" usually gets four different answers. This guide sets out what each type is, what we can confirm on sizes and minimums from our own range of custom badges, and which option fits a conference, an annual dinner or a uniform rollout.
What types of badges can you print in Singapore?
Most badge enquiries fall into one of four buckets, and picking the right one early saves a week of back-and-forth.
- Full-colour button badges: a printed face sealed under clear acrylic with a stainless steel pin back. The cheapest way to put a detailed logo or photo on a badge.
- Tin button badges: the classic round pressed-tin badge. Durable, reusable, and the standard choice for giveaways and roadshows.
- Enamel pin badges: die-struck metal with coloured enamel fill. A premium item for long-service awards and membership pins, not mass giveaways.
- Name badges: worn by staff, so legibility and a secure fitting matter more than decoration. Acrylic through to brass.
Rule of thumb: if the badge is handed to hundreds and worn once, print a button badge; if it is awarded, or sits on a uniform for years, use metal. Our guide to custom enamel pins and badges goes deeper on plating and enamel types.
What sizes and MOQ apply to badge printing in Singapore?
Our custom made button badges are produced at 44mm as the standard diameter, with custom sizes on request, and carry a minimum order of 100 pieces. Printing is offered as single-colour or full-colour, so a photographic or gradient-heavy logo is no problem at this price point. The build is a clear acrylic face over the printed insert with a stainless steel pin back.
Our tin button badge runs at a 50mm (5cm) round diameter, pressed in tin, and includes free artwork setup. The larger face gives your design more room than 44mm, which is worth considering if your logo carries a tagline or small text.
For pin badge printing, shape and size are both fully customisable, so you are not locked to a circle. Shield, rectangle and logo-contour cuts are all achievable. Minimums and pricing on non-standard shapes depend on the die, so these are quoted per project.
Button badges vs enamel pin badges: which should you choose?
The decision comes down to unit budget and how long the badge must survive.
Button badges win on cost per piece and colour fidelity. Because the design is printed rather than struck, you can reproduce a photograph or a brand gradient with no extra tooling. That makes them the default for door gifts, orientation packs and roadshow giveaways.
Enamel pin badges from our enamel pins collection win on perceived value. A die-struck metal badge with hard enamel fill reads as an award, not a freebie, and still looks correct on a lapel in five years. The trade-off: colour sits in recessed metal areas, so fine detail and photographic imagery must be simplified at artwork stage. Where both are in play (a mass attendee badge plus a speaker pin), ordering both through Gift Hub keeps artwork consistent and delivery on one schedule.
What about name badges for staff and events?
Name badges are a separate category, because the failure mode differs: a staff badge that falls off, or pin-holes an expensive uniform, becomes a recurring complaint.
Our custom name tags come in acrylic, aluminium, stainless steel, iron and brass, with the logo embossed or engraved, and engraving can be done with or without colour fill. Shapes include rectangle, round and square as well as fully custom outlines. Critically, they can be fitted with either a magnet or a pin, and for anything worn over tailored uniforms or jackets we push clients towards magnets.
Two variants are worth knowing. The custom metal name tag badge is cast in zinc alloy and takes a custom logo and colour, the premium pick for front-of-house. Our clear acrylic name tags take a replaceable paper insert, the practical choice for conferences where the holder gets reused. Name badges are often ordered with lanyards, and our guide to lanyard printing in Singapore covers matching the two.
How long does badge printing in Singapore take?
Badge printing in Singapore is a comparatively fast category: the components are standard and only the printed or struck face is bespoke. Button badges on stock 44mm and 50mm formats move quicker than enamel pins, which need a die made before anything can be struck. Name badges sit in between: engraved metal takes longer than printed acrylic.
The timeline is driven by three things: how fast artwork is approved, whether the badge uses a standard size or a custom die, and order quantity. Artwork is almost always the bottleneck. A low-resolution logo rather than a vector file adds days while it is redrawn. Our standard lead time is 12–14 working days from artwork approval, with 7-day express available on selected items such as tin button badges. Some items differ, so ask us to confirm a production window against your event date at quote. We deliver locally across Singapore, so if your date is tight, say so in the enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions about Badge Printing in Singapore
What is the minimum order for badge printing in Singapore?
For Gift Hub's custom made button badges, the minimum order is 100 pieces. Enamel pins start from 30 pieces, while custom-shaped badges and name tags are quoted per project.
What size are custom button badges?
Gift Hub's standard button badge is 44mm in diameter, with custom sizes available on request. Our tin button badge is produced at 50mm (5cm) round.
Can I print a full-colour photo on a badge?
Yes. Button badges are printed rather than struck, so full-colour printing reproduces photographs, gradients and detailed illustrations without extra tooling.
What is the difference between a button badge and an enamel pin badge?
A button badge has a printed face sealed under clear acrylic with a pin back, making it the low-cost, high-colour-fidelity option for large giveaways. An enamel pin badge is die-struck metal with enamel fill, which costs more per piece but reads as a premium award item and lasts for years.
Are name badges better with a magnet or a pin?
Magnets are better for anything worn on tailored uniforms or jackets, because a pin leaves holes in the fabric over time. Gift Hub's custom name tags can be supplied with either fitting.
What artwork file should I send for badge printing?
Send vector artwork (AI, EPS or PDF) wherever possible. A low-resolution JPG or PNG has to be redrawn before production, and that redraw is the most common cause of delay.
Can badges be delivered in time for an event?
Often yes. Standard lead time is 12–14 working days from artwork approval, and 7-day express is available on selected items such as tin button badges. Tell us your event date in the enquiry so we can confirm a production window against it.
Key Takeaways
Three things for your enquiry. First, decide printed or metal: button badges at 44mm or 50mm with a 100-piece minimum are the volume option, enamel pins the award option. Second, name badges are their own category, so specify magnet or pin fitting up front. Third, supply vector artwork at quote stage, which removes the most common delay.
