From Metal Casting to Leather Finishing: A Complete Custom Badge Solution
Creating a premium commemorative badge requires more than an attractive metal design. The plating finish, enamel details, leather craftsmanship and attachment hardware all contribute to the final product.
This AWELLS project focused on bringing these elements together in one custom 3D metal badge and leather holder.
Who: A Customer Facing Multiple Quality Issues
A customer approached AWELLS online, looking for a premium commemorative insignia featuring a dimensional metal emblem mounted on a black leather holder.
The customer had experienced problems with previous suppliers, including rough plating edges, peeling enamel and loose metal clips.
Their goal was to find a manufacturer that could deliver detailed metal craftsmanship and a secure, professional-looking leather holder in one coordinated product.
What: A Custom Metal and Leather Badge Solution
After reviewing the design requirements, AWELLS proposed a combined manufacturing solution:
-
3D Zinc Alloy Casting – detailed raised relief and a solid metal structure
-
Antique Plating & Enamel – antique silver and gold-tone finishing with imitation hard enamel details
-
Stitched Leather Holder – reinforced black PU leather with neat edge stitching
-
Dual-Wear Accessories – a 24-inch ball chain and metal clip for flexible attachment
The solution focused on improving the connection between the metal badge, leather holder and attachment accessories while maintaining the original design details.
Why: Why the Customer Chose AWELLS
The customer needed a supplier who could address several quality concerns together rather than treating the metal emblem and leather holder as separate products.
AWELLS supported the project through:
-
Artwork & Relief Review – evaluating dimensional metal details before production
-
Finish Selection – coordinating plating colors and enamel appearance
-
Integrated Assembly – matching the metal emblem with a reinforced stitched leather holder
-
Online Communication & Sample Review – discussing design details and attachment options before bulk production
This approach helped simplify the customer's sourcing process and provided a more coordinated solution for custom metal badges, leather badge holders and commemorative emblems.
Result: A Premium Commemorative Badge
The finished design brought together detailed 3D metal relief, antique-effect finishing, enamel accents and a stitched leather holder.
The customer feedback presented in the project summary highlighted the solid feel of the metal emblem, enamel appearance and leather craftsmanship.
For AWELLS, this case demonstrates the importance of coordinating material selection, surface finishing and attachment design when developing premium custom badges.
