What badge attachment options are available?

An attachment is how your badge affixes to your uniform, hat, leather holder, or wallet. Choosing the right attachment ensures both security and the look you expect.

Most popular attachment types we offer:

  • Pin & Safety Catch – A pin with a safety catch that secures the badge to fabric or your uniform shirt. Common, reliable, and versatile.
  • Wallet Clip – A metal clip soldered on the back so your badge can slide into a wallet, case, or badge holder.
  • Glue‑in Leather – Permanent mount into a leather accessory, like a wallet case. Low profile and classy when done correctly.
  • Screw Back – Screws with nuts to attach your badge to a hat or a flat surface; typically used for caps and display plaques.

Screw Back

How to choose the right attachment

  • Think about where and how you’ll wear it — on your uniform shirt, hat, or inside a wallet or badge case. For shirts, Pin & Safety is often the go-to.
  • Consider weight and security. Screw Back and Clutch Back provide secure attachment but may add bulk; Glue‑in Leather gives a low profile but is permanent.
  • If you’ll carry it in a wallet or badge case, Wallet Clip or glue‑in leather options tend to perform better for wear and durability.
  • No Attachment can be useful if you want flexibility (like mounting later or swapping out on a holder), but you’ll need your own mounting solution.
