Branded lapel pins, badges and enamel pins for Georgia teams and events | Merch Georgia
Custom enamel, brass and zinc-alloy lapel pins for Tbilisi event badges, Kakheti wine tour operator IDs, BoG and TBC staff pins. From 50 units, 7–12 day delivery, no setup fees on standard shapes.
Why a branded lapel pin is the lowest-cost identity item in any Georgia programme
A branded pin costs less per unit than any other identity item in the Georgia corporate merch plan — and is worn longer. A TBC Bank employee gets a lapel pin in week one and wears it for years. A Tbilisi conference delegate pins their badge on at registration and keeps it on their jacket through every session. A Kakheti winery tour operator wears their brand pin on the tasting-room lanyard.
Four main use cases for branded pins in Georgia: corporate staff identity (BoG, TBC, Wissol, Aldagi, Tegeta, Wissol Energy, PSP, Maestro), event delegate badges (Art-Fair Tbilisi, Tbilisi International Film Festival, Tbilisi Architecture Biennial, ExpoGeorgia trade shows), wine country tour operator ID (Kakheti, Racha, Imereti tour programmes), and conference speaker / panel names (Tbilisi conferences, hotel chains).
Materials and construction
Hard enamel is the corporate default — vibrant colours, glass-smooth finish, lasts 5+ years without colour fade. Soft enamel is the cost tier — slightly recessed colours, more textured, 60–70% the price of hard enamel. Brass stamping is the executive gift (TBC Private, BoG Private) — gold, silver, antique brass, copper plated, with diamond-cut or sandblast finish.
Zinc-alloy die-cast is the shape option for non-circular logos (the TBC corner logo, the BoG stylised B). Iron-stamped is the budget option below 100-unit programmes. Standard pin sizes 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm — 20 mm is the corporate default. Butterfly clutch, rubber clutch, and magnetic backings available; magnetic 18–25 GEL extra, popular with Tbilisi conference speakers who don't want to damage the lapel.
Prints and branding
The branding on a pin IS the pin — there is no separate decoration. Colour matching is Pantone-coated with Delta-E ≤ 2.0 for hard enamel; soft enamel has a tighter visual match because the recessed colour is closer to the original Pantone chip. For Tbilisi corporate programmes with the full brand book, we order custom Pantone-coated colours from the brand book (BoG red, TBC red, Wissol blue, Aldagi teal, PSP orange).
Special finishes: glitter enamel (synthetic), glow-in-the-dark enamel (rare, used for Tbilisi nightlife events), transparent enamel over a photo-etched base (for photo-realistic art), 3D sculpted relief (premium tier, 35–50% upcharge). For Tbilisi cultural events (Tbilisi International Film Festival badges), 3D sculpted pins with the year in relief have become the standard.

Georgia context
Pins are a year-round category for Georgia with two demand spikes. The first is the conference season (October–November for Tbilisi conferences, plus spring for Art-Fair Tbilisi and Tbilisi Architecture Biennial) — 5,000–20,000 pin orders per event. The second is the summer tourist season (June–August, Batumi Boulevard, Kakheti wine tour operators) — 500–3,000 pin orders per operator per year.
Tbilisi corporate buyers pin regular. The big four (TBC, BoG, Wissol, Aldagi) all run annual programmes, plus the Tbilisi tech and fintech sector (BOG Private, TBC Private, Bank of Georgia, Wissol, TBC Pay). For tourism-led municipalities, Tbilisi City Hall and Batumi City Hall programmes use branded pins for tourist guides and visitor centre staff.
Frequently asked questions
Hard enamel or soft enamel for a TBC Bank staff pin?
Hard enamel — vibrant colours, glass-smooth finish, lasts 5+ years of daily wear without colour fade. Soft enamel is 60–70% the price but the recessed colours catch dirt and show fade sooner. For crypto on a TBC employee's lapel, hard enamel is the right call.
How long does a custom die shape take?
14–18 working days. The die is CNC-milled in zinc alloy from the artwork, then the pins are stamped and enamelled. Setup 1,500–3,500 GEL covers the die for all subsequent reorders. Standard shapes (circle, square, oval, shield) have no setup fee.
What's the most popular pin size for a Tbilisi conference badge?
25 mm is the standard conference badge size — large enough for the logo and one line of text (year, location), small enough to wear on a lanyard without flopping over. 30 mm for speaker badges, 20 mm for staff names, 35 mm for VIP-only badges.
Can you Pantone-match the pin colour?
Yes — we order Pantone-coated colours from the brand book. Hard enamel match Delta-E ≤ 2.0; soft enamel has a tighter visual match because the recessed colour reads closer to the original chip. For TBC red and BoG red, we keep pre-coated batches of those colours on hand.
Lead time for 500 pins for a Tbilisi conference delegate badge?
7–12 working days for standard shapes; rush 5 working days at +30% surcharge. For Tbilisi conferences and event giveaways we keep a buffer programme with 5,000+ pins in stock for same-week dispatch.
