Awareness Badges And Unlimited Coloring
Show Support With Color
Public Safety Awareness Badges are a great way for departments to show support for a cause. To support this need, Blackinton was the first to develop pink, blue, green, and purple finished awareness badges. Because demand has grown for a more advanced use of color on metal badges we have developed a proprietary Unlimited Coloring technology. It’s the first of its kind. The technology enables us to incorporate color on a metal badge without disrupting the detail in the metal. This unique technology led to Blackinton’s 2021 and 2022 NAUMD Innovation Awards.
Traditionally, adding color to a metal badge was limited to finishing an entire surface, or adding color within the metal walls of a badge. For instance, adding a thin blue line to a badge design would require the creation of a new die. Now, with our Unlimited Coloring technology we can add unique designs to your public safety awareness badges, economically, without the need for a new die.
Why An Awareness Badge?
- Support Causes like Autism, Domestic Violence, Suicide Awareness, Mental Illness, or any type of Cancer
- Honoring Individuals such as Veterans on Veterans Day. Stoneham PD is allowing officers to wear a camouflage badge during November with a center seal depicting the military branch they served in. Non-Veterans will wear the badge with a state seal.
- Cultural Celebration such as Juneteenth, St. Patrick’s Day, or Columbus Day
- Memorial Bands like the thin blue line or red, orange, and pink lines or a mourning band
- Affiliation with a group or team illustrated on the badge with logo, flag, or other identifying symbol

He just kept saying how absolutely beautiful it was. It now sits on his desk for everyone to see.”
