Key Information

At Steel City, we know that badges are often the first thing people see. We want to make sure they look on-brand, stay put, and don’t scuff up by day two. We focus on taking the risks out early, so you can hand them out on day one knowing they’ll look the part and keep looking presentable throughout the week.

Visual proofs and artwork: We will always check your artwork against the badge face and branding method. We know that small logos and colour blends can look different once they’re printed on metal or plastic. This keeps your logo sharp and readable, whether you’re handing badges out at a desk, on a stand, or in a busy reception area.
Clear lead times: We’ll always be honest about timelines. Lead times vary by badge type (for example 5-7 working days on selected lines), so we don’t just give one fixed number across every material. If you’re working to an event date, we’ll guide you to a product that can realistically hit it, rather than leaving you scrambling with handwritten names.
The right fixings: We’ll help you choose the right fixing because different clothes and roles behave differently – some badges spin on a thin top, some pull on knitwear, and some snag when you’re moving. We want to stop you ordering a badge that looks fine in the box but sits wonky or slips during a shift.
Quick-change windows: Our window badge setups use a clear protector over a paper insert, and we supply inserts on A4 perforated sheets. We know staff changes happen – temps, visitors, split shifts, and last-minute cover. This means you can swap names in minutes at your desk, without needing to reprint the whole badge.
Scuff-resistant fronts: We always recommend faces and overlays that can take the day-to-day rubbing against lanyards, jackets, and desk edges. Unprotected prints can quickly go cloudy and look tired. We want to keep the front readable for longer, so you don’t end up having to bin badges halfway through a run.
Sustainable materials: It’s really important that we don’t greenwash. We’ll be clear about what the badge is actually made from – whether that’s recycled content, 100% recycled plastic, recyclable builds, FSC paper parts, or UK-made lines. If your business tracks materials, we give you choices you can really stand behind.
The right choice for you: Our starting point is badge types that we know behave well in day-to-day use. We want to avoid you paying for a custom build just to fix a basic issue like scratching or spinning. However, if you need a tighter spec on size, finish, or fixing, we can look at bespoke options once we’ve narrowed down what you really need.

Scratch-resistant window face: A great option is the Matt Faced Window Badge. We suggest this because of its scratch-resistant PVC face, which helps reduce that cloudy, scuffed look you get when badges knock against lanyard clips and desk edges. It keeps your logo readable while you reuse the same badge body with fresh inserts.
Protected print surface: We often suggest the Domed Metal Name Badge when you’re printing names and titles. The clear dome takes the rubbing instead of the print, which stops that common “worn-through” look you see on flat prints after repeated wiping and daily wear.
Smarter metal window: We like the Metal Faced Window Badge because the metal front holds its shape really well compared to softer window styles that can crease and look tired quickly. The clear window protector keeps the insert clean, so your front-of-house team can swap names without the badge looking scruffy.
Write-on name swaps: The Reusable Moso Bamboo Blackboard Name Badge is really useful because the black-coated MOSO® bamboo face works with liquid chalk pens. This is perfect when names change at short notice, allowing you to update a visitor or staff name immediately, instead of printing, cutting, and rebuilding inserts.
Keep-forever pin finish: For a high-quality feel, we specify hard enamel on the 20mm Hard Enamelled Badge. That finish cures smooth and resists chipping better than softer enamel styles. If you’re issuing lapel pins for memberships or long-service awards, this holds its look over years of wear.
Fast bulk branding: If you need volume quickly, we recommend the 25mm Button Badge. We’ve chosen a UK-made option with a 5-day lead time from artwork approval to help reduce the risk of event stock arriving late. That gives you a simple, full-colour badge you can order in volume and hand out on schedule.

Second time ordering from Steel City. The team has been marvellous once again. Very attentive to my requests, and in this occasion - very short deadline. They were quick to respond, and delivered on time in spite of the challenge of time. Always respond quickly and very proactive. I highly recommend this company for any marketing needs. Their brouchure is full of ideas and nothing is out of reach. Thank you once again team!

The merch is top notch quality, and will happily continue using Steel City for many orders to come! Hugely recommend!

We have ordered several branded products from Steel City, and we have been extremely impressed by both the quality of the products themselves and also the service we've received from their fantastic team. Georgia in particular has been brilliant - her friendly demeanour and genuine willingness to help us make the right decisions for our business made the entire process seamless. No question was too trivial, and no request was ever too much trouble for her. Steel City has earned our trust as a reliable and customer-focused company, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality branded products with exceptional service to match.

Absolutely A-1 in every area. From design, to communication, to delivery, processing, speed, quality of products - exceptional!

My first time using Steel City BM, what a great service, we delayed things and messed them about a bit but they still came up trumps, got the merchandise we wanted, printed with our Logos and delivered within the very short timeframe we gave them, excellent service. I would highly recommend using them

I am a repeat customer for a good reason and have been for years. Never let me down, courteous, friendly service, quality goods, lovely efficient firm to deal with (exemplary COMMUNICATION as well, which seems to be a commodity fast diminishing between client and supplier these days) and going forward I’ll be back again - at least twice a year with ever increasing volumes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Great firm.

Recently sourced products from Steel City and couldn't be happier! From the initial enquiry to the delivery of the products, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The quality is exceptional, the customer service is outstanding, and the delivery was prompt. I highly recommend them to any business looking for reliable, high-quality suppliers. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!

Ordered a bulk order of 500 branded notepads on the Monday and they had been delivered on the Friday! Impressively fast. Great quality products, and the customer service is the best i've experienced- both Rowan the Sales Administrator and Debbie the Account Manager were excellent, very rapid email response with all the info needed. We will continue to use Steel City for our company's branded merch.

Can't rate the team at Steel City Marketing highly enough. I've ordered a few different promotional items just recently and every single time, from start to finish, the service from Georgia & Rowan in particular, has been first class. Each item we have had (leather key fobs, feather flags and printed bags) are of an excellent quality and have been produced to a very high standard. I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality, speed and with the exceptional service this company has always fulfilled our orders.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Rowan went that 'extra mile' to keep me informed on progress.

Highly recommend Steel City for all promotional items and gifts. The team were very helpful and supportive in helping us source what we were looking for and sent multiple free samples for us to test the quality prior to us making a final decision. Highly recommend Steel City and look forward to working with them again in the future. - Review on behalf of AUMA Actuators Ltd.

“As always, the service was fast and reliable with my favourite bit being the communication. As a customer you know exactly what to expect at every point of the process because your expectations are managed beautifully and all information is communicated well.”

Excellent service and produced items once again from Debbie and the whole team at Steel City. I won't go anywhere else for my promo items.

Super speedy process and the team were on hand throughout! Highly recommend - thank you again!

Fantastic experience using Steel City from the minute I emailed James about my requirements to the finished product being delivered. Can't speak highly enough of Rowan for her regular communication and letting me know how things are progressing.

Great experience of using Steel City, nothing was too much trouble, everyone within the team that we dealt with were really helpful, will definitely be using them again!
