Fun Ideas for Bag Badges

Badges for bags are making a comeback and there is no limit to the style and fun you can have with them. Whether you are thinking about bag patches or backpack badges with a pin for ease, we’ve pulled together a complete guide to bag badges with some fun ideas on how to design your own and how to use them for a more personalised bag.

What Are Bag Badges?

Bag badges are sometimes made specially for bags but a lot of the time they are simply badges that reflect the personality of the owner and have been added to the backpack, handbag or tote back for a fun and personalised look. There are even badge bags created specifically with the purpose of showing off your badges. Organisations such as the Girl Guides often use bag badges to showcase skills or achievements.

What Are the Different Types of Bag Badges?

Bag badges can take all sorts of forms and these depend on the style choices of the wearer. Bag patches are a popular option as these can be ironed on or sewn onto backpacks, tote bags or just about any other type of bag there is and removed when the user wants to change things up with another look.

Another type of bag badge is the bag pin badge. This is one of the most popular types of bag badges due to its versatility. Creating custom pin badges is extremely popular and badges can be found to reflect all sorts of interests from favourite bands to hobbies to book badges or just for fun badges.

Pin badges can be created and bought in both metal and plastic forms making them a great low-cost bag decoration idea and extremely hardwearing for bags that tend to get thrown around a lot.

Fun Bag Badge Ideas

If you’ve been following the recent Taylor Swift concerts, Swifties have been diving headfirst into the DIY decoration style of outfits with handmade bracelets and music-themed badges being used to adorn jackets, bags and all other creative uses of clothing and outfits. We love layering up music-themed bag badges and are big fans of creating or finding badges to represent every era or music style.

Showcase Your Personality on a School Bag

The plain old school bag is the perfect place to inject some personality and given the usual big style of school backpacks, there is plenty of space to add badges that reflect your personality and interests. Whether you are a football fan, love rainbows and unicorns or just want a riot of colour, bag badges work perfectly to embellish a school or college bag.

Create Seasonal Bags by Swapping Out Badges

Like to switch up your style every so often? Why not theme your bag by season by adding seasonal bag badges that chance with the seasons? Try warm orange or autumnal hues for the autumn months, frosty and snow-themed bag badges for the colder months and badges packed full of colour for the summer season. Can’t find the badge colours you are looking for? Why not try out custom badge service and mix it up between bag patches and pin badges?

Create Walking Advertisements With Branded Badges

Bag badges are not just for hobbyists. Creating branded badges for bags is a great way to get your business seen by people on the move. Why not design some fun badges to give away to customers and at events? More people wearing your brand means more people seeing your brand and can be a great conversation starter if worn by employees or advocates for your brand.

Keep Track of Your Travels

Planning on going backpacking or travel frequently and looking for a fun way to showcase the places you have been? Why not create badges for your backpack themed around each country or place you have visited? Whether you add the flags or create custom badges with the cities, towns or trails you visit, adding them to your back is the perfect keepsake and conversation starter.
