Long live the embroidered badge!
The detail is not as precise as a woven badge, but the feel is tactile and traditional.

What is the difference between woven and embroidered badges?
www.bestbadges.co.uk/blog/2025/01...
We have recently updated an article which over the last decade has been one of the most read explanations of the different types of enamel badges!
Hopefully the article retains its clarity, and can be helpful for another ten years.

Blues, Rhythm & Rock Festival pin badge. The badge is in the shape of a blues guitar, with the lettering arranged to fill the silhouette space.
Today we have an enamel pin for Badge of the Day!
The shape of enamel badges is completely bespoke to every order, so you can really let your imagination flow.
This badge is highly successful because while the shape is unusual the design itself is simple and striking in white enamel and silver.
Colourful embroidered badge featuring the slogan "Never Not Learning" stitched with a background of concentric circles in different colours.
Badge of the day today showcases the beauty of embroidery, with thickly stitched concentric circles of colour.
The inside blue circle is actually the background fabric, and the outer red circle is the overlocked border.
Great message and a great badge!

The Best Badges offices feature a mural painted by the amazing artist Mr Millerchip (also our dear friend!)

Graphic showing the difference in font rendering possible with embroidered versus woven badges. Woven allows for finer detail at smaller sizes, so complicated fonts are possible at smaller sizes than can be achieved with embroidery.
If you are choosing between woven and embroidered as the type of badge to order, one key consideration is the text on your badge.
Embroidery may require smaller lettering to be enlarged or changed to a blocky font.
If you need your lettering small and true to the original font, then choose woven.
