When and How to Wear Lapel Badges
Lapel badges were initially designed for functionality as a way of fastening items of clothing and cloaks. Celts and Vikings used them as fasteners during the Early Medieval period, where they were worn by both men and women, with a diverse level of detail. Today lapel badges are worn to signify academic or sporting accomplishments, recognise one’s status in the medical field, celebrate military achievements or simply adorn a jacket for a special occasion. Worn as a badge of honour or as a piece of jewellery, they have culminated into a popular and expanding industry.
Recognising Honourable Professions
The nursing and medical sectors have a long-standing tradition of collecting and wearing lapel badges related to their field of expertise. In the nursing and emergency services sector, they are worn as standard with a uniform and this can make it easier for patients to know the medical professional they are dealing with through the design. At Trophy and Medal Boutique, we create and design customised models for the medical field.
Military Service
They are often worn by military members to signify their current position or role within a certain assignment. Heroic acts – even during peacetime – are recognised through the awarding of these badges. Whether awarded for meritorious or long service, or good conduct, military pins must be worn correctly to honour their history, significance, and tradition.
Stand Out Amongst Your Peers
Sporting accomplishments, nationally and internationally, are amongst the widest use of lapel badges. Knowing that you will be acknowledged is an excellent way to encourage participation in sports. In team sports, it symbolises “oneness” as different members band together towards a common goal. Recognising and awarding individuals for their efforts and wins is what Trophy and Medal Boutique specialises in, be it at a school or club level. After all, nothing unites a nation more than sport.
Marketing Your Brand Outside of the Digital World
If you are looking for a way to extend your marketing in a unique way that builds brand recall, then lapel badges are the way to go. This is a cost-efficient marketing tool allowing you to make your company logo more recognisable. When professionally designed, they are eye-catching and in all probability, when given out to clientele, will be kept for many years due to their distinctiveness.
Displayed on the left-hand side of jackets and over the heart, lapel badges are definitely something to be proud of.
