This type of fitting is commonly used for traditional lapel pins and is a classic and secure option.

Also known as a “clip-back” pin fastener, uses a hinged clip to attach the pin to clothing or fabric. This type of fitting is versatile and can be used on various clothing items, including jackets, blouses, and hats.

A screw thread and cap fitting is a secure and durable option for larger badges. This fitting is ideal for badges that must be attached securely and can withstand wear and tear. This type of fitting consists of a screw attached to the back of the badge and a cap screwed onto the end of the screw to hold the badge in place. The screw thread and cap fitting are also easy to attach and remove, making it a convenient option for frequently used or worn badges.

This type of fitting is easy to use and does not require piercing the fabric, making it a popular choice for delicate or expensive clothing items.
