What Materials Are Commonly Used For Badges

1. Zinc Alloy: Zinc alloy is a common material for making metal badges, especially suitable for three-dimensional badges and double-sided commemorative coins. Its advantages include: A. Excellent casting performance, capable of die-casting complex shapes and thin walls, with smooth casting surfaces; B. Diverse surface treatment processes, such as electroplating, painting, and spraying; C. Does not absorb iron or stick to the mold during die-casting; D. Good mechanical properties and wear resistance at room temperature.

2. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is commonly used to make printed badges, also known as epoxy badges, typically 0.5mm and 0.8mm thick. Stainless steel badges are characterized by strong corrosion resistance, durability, high cost-effectiveness, rich printing colors, and significant decorative effects, making them an ideal choice for badge making.

3. Copper: Copper (including brass, red copper, and purple copper) is the preferred metal for making high-end badges. Purple copper is used for enamel badges, while brass and bronze are mainly used for imitation enamel badges and painted badges. Copper is relatively soft and is often used to make metal badges. It can produce badges with beautiful appearance and high quality. The thickness is generally 1.2mm, 1.5mm or 1.8mm, and the thickness of commemorative medals is usually 3mm.
