Badges in all shapes and sizes



We have been wearing badges since we were young kids. It has always been exciting for us to go out wearing our shiny badges. We used to compare our badges with our friends and see who had a better one. We even started collecting them to show-off in our friend circle. Earlier there was a lack of opportunities but now we have latest technologies at our disposal. We can try promotional badge printing to use them in hyping up a brand.



There used to be a scarcity of items during old times. Some items could be bought from a local shop and sometimes, we had to rely on DIY techniques. With whatever little pocket monies we had, we could not afford to buy costly items. In order to fulfil our wishes of wearing a badge of our own, we used to create them using ribbons, buttons, and even paper. Our school teachers used to help us prepare badges for competition winners occasionally. It was also their way of teaching us creativity. Metal badges used to be a luxury and not everyone could afford them back in those days. These tiny pieces of attachment used to garner our attention. Watching our school’ head boy and head girl wearing round badges of their own on their uniforms used to be a thing of envy among students. Those badges had an attraction to them because they were earned with dedication, sincerity and discipline.


Promotional Events


When a brand decides on promoting itself or one of its product range, it uses various techniques of promotion. This includes people present at the event wearing customized badges specifically designed to attract the target audience. Volunteers can be seen wearing such badges and talking about the brand to the attending crowd. These badges are cheaper than other forms of advertising.



Identification


The most common purpose of wearing badges is to identify oneself. You might have observed people on their duty wearing badges on their uniforms and formal clothes. Professionals like policemen, doctors, lawyers and even hotel managers can be seen with metal badges attached to their clothes bearing their name and designation on it. This helps common people in seeking help from them with ease and they at least have a readable name to call them by. Sometimes, at a restaurant or café, you can request for a particular attendant depending upon past good service if you are aware of their name. That is only possible when they are wearing a badge at duty.


Fandom


When people become die-hard fans of something or someone, they don’t shy away from openly expressing it. It is in fact part of being a fan. Badges and posters are some ways of letting the people around you know that you are really into that particular movie, artist or thing. Such badges can be attached to bags and clothes for everyone to see. This is also a common way of finding friends with similar interests.




Celebration


When people celebrate festivals and events with this friends and family, they can use printed badges to add more fun to their joy. You can get them made at super affordable prices. An online printing store can be checked out for their collection of badges.
