You could sew them on; that way they'd still be sew-on badges and not stick-on badges. Adhesive could rot them, fail or both.
Not much fun poking a sewing needle through mount board though, especially about 4 times per badge! I'd probably use a micro-tag gun.

This might sound obvious but, being as they are sew on badges, you could try sewing them on! A small tack in each corner and completely reversible too. Mind you that’s 324 stitches so careful not to prick your finger
If it was a handful of badges I would sew them on, but 81?! I hope (and I'm sure) you'll get some better suggestions than mine.

I always prefer to sew fabric items but not sure about doing 81 so I think micro tags are the answer but would probably use more tags than I would stitches.
I framed some neck ties last week and got the tag gun out for the first time in a while.
