When you want branding that feels truly premium, metal labels, tags, and patches deliver. Engraved or embossed metal plates, rivets, and badges add a high-end, durable accent to denim, leather goods, bags, caps, and outerwear.
Types of metal branding
- Metal plates / logo tags — flat engraved or embossed plates riveted or sewn onto bags, jackets, and jeans.
- Metal rivets & buttons — branded hardware on denim and workwear.
- Metal patches / badges — dimensional metal logos for caps, bags, and leather goods.
- Zipper pulls & tags — metal hardware accents (see also woven zipper pulls).
Finishes
Metal branding comes in finishes like polished gold, silver, brushed/satin nickel, antique brass, gunmetal, and black. Logos can be engraved, embossed (raised), debossed (recessed), or enamel-filled with color. The finish sets the mood — polished for luxe, gunmetal or antique for rugged/heritage.
Best uses
- Denim brands (back-pocket plates, rivets, buttons)
- Leather goods, bags, and wallets
- Caps and headwear (metal front badge)
- Premium outerwear and accessories
For a softer or more economical premium look, compare leather and rubber patches or embroidered patches.
Attachment
Metal branding attaches by rivets, prongs, screws, sewing channels, or strong adhesive, depending on the piece and garment. We’ll recommend the right method for your product.
