⚠️ Important Safety Note: Who Should Avoid Magnetic Back Button Badges?

While magnetic back button badges are convenient and clothing-friendly (no pinholes!), they may not be suitable for everyone.

People with pacemakers or other implanted medical devices should avoid wearing magnetic badges due to potential interference. Magnets can disrupt the function of medical implants, so it's safest to choose pin-back or clip-back badges in these cases.

👉 If you're ordering custom button badges for hospitals, aged care, schools, or public events, it's a good idea to provide non-magnetic options to ensure inclusivity and safety for all participants.

Choose Your Coating Finish – Gloss, Matte & More

Your badges deserve the perfect finish! Choose from:

- - - - Gloss finish – Bright and vibrant
        
        Matte finish – Sleek and modern
        
        Soft-touch velvet matte – Luxurious and tactile
        
        Holographic or glitter overlay – Add sparkle and magic!

Your finish adds personality to your custom button badges—so choose one that fits your vibe!
