How to Keep Your Pin Badges Looking New:
A Professional Care Guide from EVER GREATER
Each badge tells a story — whether it represents a brand, a milestone, or a passion. Through proper care, you can preserve its shine and meaning for years.
At EVER GREATER, we are committed to crafting premium custom badges, nameplates, and license frames that stand the test of time.
Why Proper Badge Care Matters
Pin badges are more than decorations — they carry stories, achievements, and identity. Over time, without proper maintenance, oxidation, scratches, or fading may appear.
At EVER GREATER, with over 25 years of experience in producing custom nameplates and license frames, we’ve mastered how to make your badges stay brilliant for years.
Cleaning – Be Gentle, Not Harsh
The key to keeping your pin badges shiny is gentle cleaning.
Use a soft cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid alcohol or acidic cleaners that can corrode the plating.
Pro Tip: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush for intricate areas, brushing lightly to avoid scratches.
Storage – Protect from Light and Moisture
Humidity and sunlight are silent enemies of your badge’s finish. Store them in a cool, dry place — preferably inside a display box with silica gel packs.
For collectors, wrap each piece individually to prevent metal friction.
EVER GREATER Suggests: Try our OEM-designed microfiber display cases — elegant and protective.
Wearing – Handle with Care
Avoid contact with perfumes or lotions while wearing your badges. Always hold the edge instead of the front face to reduce fingerprints and oils.
If you wear badges often, rotate them periodically to let each one rest.
Routine Check and Polishing
Even well-kept badges need periodic inspection every 3–6 months.
For light scratches, gently rub with a jewelry polishing cloth. If oxidation spots appear, contact a professional manufacturer for restoration.
EVER GREATER also provides OEM polishing and refurbishment services to extend your product’s lifespan.
Extra Protection – Balance Environment and Time
In humid climates, replace desiccants regularly.
You may also apply anti-oxidation sprays on metal surfaces for an invisible layer of protection, keeping the badges bright longer.
