Testimonials

  • Tim and all the team at Abbey Badges made the process of redesigning our Paralympics Ireland pins very straightforward. It was important for us that our new brand was properly represented in every aspect and so we worked closely together on everything from colour, shapes, sizes, and materials. Tim was very quick in sending us samples to review and our feedback was taken on board. Our final ordered arrived on time and we are delighted with the results

  • Abbey Badges is our choice for lapel pins, and we couldn’t recommend it enough. Great customer service, quick turn over, and high-quality badges – it easily meets our 4-star quality standard. Fiona was super helpful since the very first moment, making sure we would receive our order within our (rather short!) deadline. It was our second time ordering lapel pins from Abbey Badges, and we will surely go back to them next time!

  • I needed a series of award badges for my volunteer organisation, but didn’t know where to start. Abbey Badges were really helpful in providing me with examples to consider and once we’d agreed the style, they worked with me on the artwork for our badges. I have to say that it was a pleasure to work with Abbey Badges because they were so efficient , friendly and professional

  • I contacted Abbey Badges and spoke to Deirdre with an idea of creating lapel pins for our community, with the added pressure of a very tight delivery time. From the initial contact, the creative force, assistance, professionalism, patience, and willingness to change things at the last second I experienced has been outstanding. I sent in some images, and within a few short days they returned the most beautiful draft to be approved. The pins turned out to fantastic, top quality and way beyond my expectations. They were delivered within the time frame as promised. To say I am delighted with the outcome would be an understatement, I am absolutely thrilled. I can only highly recommend Abbey Badges.

  • In April 2023 I contacted Abbey Badges on the recommendation from our Scouting Colleagues in 5th Meath Kells in regards to creating our new Group Badge. We had ran a competition with our Youth Members and the winning badge design would be created into our new Group Badge. Upon contacting the Sales Team in Abbey Badges my request was immediately picked up and Fiona became my point of contact from the get go. The design team where able to incorporate the winning youth design badge and our Group Colours. One month after sign off we have received the badges. The badge turned out amazing, and even better they are Iron On Badges, which many parents including myself are delighted about!!! We are in discussions now about creating a smaller badge for the back of our neckerchiefs with Abbey Badges. I would highly recommended Abbey Badges, the professionalism and standard of work is second to none and the pricing was very reasonable, the same as what the Scout Shop charge for Adventure/Patrol Badges.
