A custom embroidered badge is a wearable badge with your artwork machine-stitched in thread on a twill or felt fabric front, mounted on a metal tinplate shell and finished with a safety pin back. It pins onto jackets, bags, ita-bags and lanyards, and comes off again with no permanent attachment.
Modori Works produces custom embroidered badges to order for artists, anime and game merch brands, IP licensors, fan communities, event organizers, clubs and wholesalers. Common rounds come in forty-four, fifty-six and seventy-five millimeters, with heart, star and character-silhouette die-cut shapes reviewed per project. In official anime merchandise this format is often called an embroidered can badge.
Six choices define a fully custom embroidered badge order. The proof and quotation record each approved selection before stitching starts.
Round badges are commonly produced at forty-four, fifty-six and seventy-five millimeters. Smaller rounds suit icons and short text; larger rounds give detailed stitch work more room.
Twill gives a smooth, durable base for most designs; felt adds a softer, textured look. Thread is matched from rayon and polyester charts, with metallic and neon options for accents.
Round is standard. Heart, star and character-silhouette outlines are die-cut after review, with a clean stitched or heat-cut edge around the shape.
Your file is converted into a digitizing file that sets stitch direction, density and color order. Bold lines, solid areas and short text stitch cleanly; fine gradients and photo detail are better served by printed button pins.
The embroidered front is mounted on a tinplate shell with a safety pin back. Each finished badge is tested for smooth pin action and accurate alignment.
Individual bags are standard. Backing cards, printed boxes and badge-set packaging can be customized for retail.

Buyers usually ask how the stitching holds up, which artwork converts well to thread and how the pin back performs in daily wear. These are the practical checks completed before a custom embroidered badge order ships.
The embroidered fabric front, tinplate shell and safety pin back form a badge for jackets, bags, ita-bags and lanyards. The pin opens and closes freely, so the badge moves between garments without adhesive or heat. Finished badges are checked for pin action and alignment.
Embroidery suits bold lines, solid color areas and short text. Fine gradients, photographic detail and very small lettering read better in print, so those designs are usually routed to printed button pins. Stitch density, thread color count and minimum line width are reviewed during the free artwork check.
The approved digitizing file, thread chart, fabric base, badge size, edge finish and packaging notes become the reference for repeat orders. Later characters, colorways and event versions match the first run.
Project cost depends mainly on badge size, stitch count, number of thread colors, custom shape, packaging and total quantity. Round badges with compact designs suit efficient trials; shaped outlines and metallic thread support premium merch editions.
Each badge is packed individually to protect the stitched surface and pin assembly. Backing cards, retail boxes and design-sorted cartons can be arranged for export orders.
Custom embroidered badges are wearable badges that combine a machine-stitched fabric front, a tinplate shell and a safety pin back. Buyers use them for artist merchandise, anime and game goods, licensed collections, events, clubs and fan communities. Depending on the market, the same product may be called embroidered pin badges, cloth badges, custom fabric badges or, in anime merchandise, custom embroidered can badges.
Your artwork is converted into a digitizing file, then stitched in rayon or polyester thread on a twill or felt base. The embroidered front is cut to the badge shape with a clean stitched or heat-cut edge and mounted on a tinplate shell with a safety pin back. Metallic and neon thread are available for accents.
Embroidery suits bold lines, solid color areas and short text. Fine gradients, small lettering and photographic detail do not convert well to thread; for that artwork, custom button pins with full-color printing are the better format. The free artwork check flags these cases before you commit.
Common rounds come in forty-four, fifty-six and seventy-five millimeters. Compact rounds suit icons and short text, while larger rounds give detailed stitch work room. Heart, star and character-silhouette die-cut shapes work when the outline should reinforce the design.
Searches for custom embroidered badges no minimum usually come from artists testing a first design. Standard builds carry a low trial minimum, and the approved digitizing file, thread chart and packaging notes stay on record so reorders match the first run.
Send your artwork and target size. The team runs a free artwork check, prepares the digitizing setup and returns a digital proof. Production begins after approval, and finished badges are inspected for stitching, edge condition and pin action before worldwide shipping.
The two products share stitched artwork but attach differently. An embroidered badge has a rigid tinplate shell and a safety pin back: it pins onto jackets, bags, ita-bags and lanyards, and comes off again without marks. An embroidered patch is a flexible fabric piece designed for permanent or semi-permanent attachment by sewing, ironing or velcro.
Choose badges for merchandise, collectibles and event goods that buyers rearrange or trade. Choose patches when the design should live permanently on a garment, uniform or bag. Modori Works manufactures the pin-back badge format described on this page.
