Frequently Asked Questions

They Are Made In Stages

As soon as you upload your design, the first step in this process is turning it into a mold. We use industrial steel or copper to make the final product which can withstand high temperatures- meaning they'll never break or wear out! The result? A strong enamel pin that won't be bending when stamping against other materials. And with our super tough molds comes no need for trimming off excess metal because there isn't any!!

The Plating Process

Our pins are crafted to the highest standard with our signature electroplating process. We plate each pin with either nickel, black nickel or silver for an unbeatable finish. After this meticulous step, your custom pin will then get a final shine and polish before being presented ready-to-wear! The result? Durability that sparkles like never before - perfect for any occasion! Combine Printing And Die Striking

MADE IN THE USA & OVERSEAS

Crafting a piece of metal jewelry is an intricate process. It begins with sketching the desired design onto paper before translating it into its metallic form. The crafted metal then gets hand-struck, electroplated, and colored to complete the look; adding more finesse through engraving logos has also become a popular touch for those seeking extra flair!

Casting provides a creative and cost-effective way to bring intricate designs to life, though they may not always deliver the same durability or precision as other pin-making methods. With casting, it all comes down to the quality of your mold and how skillfully you cast – success largely depends on what kind of design you're going for!

Die Struck: They are made by die striking, an image is transferred into a blank by using a large press. This creates a custom pin with raised and lower sections for the final free design proof.

Custom Soft Enamel Pins: A soft enamel lapel pin is a type of pin that is made by filling recessed areas of a metal pin with enamel paint. The paint is then baked to harden it, creating a smooth surface that is slightly raised above the surface. Soft enamel pins are popular for their durability and ability to display intricate designs and multiple colors.

Custom Hard Enamel Pins: Add a dash of sophistication to any outfit with Custom Hard Enamel Pins! These high-end lapel pins, also known as Epola, are not only smooth and delicate on the touch but will have your friends thinking you splurged on something extra special.
