Pin Badge Maker & Trader – Ipswich

The best thing about family days out in the ’70s was bringing home a badge and pinning it up, adding to the collection on my bedroom curtains!

A unique collection of new and vintage badges

Rainbow Badges started as a hobby in 1978 and became a business in 2014. We are a small business that specializes in creating badges for various purposes, such as campaigns, clubs, musicians, organizations, colleges, schools, and museums. We also sell badges at festivals and make badges for events.

Our Pin Badge Curiosity Shop showcases both current and historical events, reflecting messages from social history to simple tongue-in-cheek humor that is designed to bring smiles to people’s faces.

In our workshop, we use a combination of our customers’ artwork, ideas, and requirements to create their badges. We produce each pin badge by hand-pressing, one at a time. The design is printed on photo paper and then protected with a durable clear polyester film.

Badges are fun to collect and make great presents too!

Please take a moment to check out my unique collection of vintage badges that I have collected over the years. All of these badges are looking for new homes and are up for sale. Our collection of new and vintage badges is constantly expanding, and we also have homemade stickers, postcards, and traded iron-on patches in stock. If you are searching for a particular pin badge, we are happy to add it to our wish list for you.
