Custom lapel pins come in various types, each with unique features that can suit your needs. Die-struck pins are crafted by stamping a metal die into the desired shape onto metal, and have an attractive finish to them. Soft enamel makes use of brightly colored paints embedded within their recessed parts for a smooth look while hard enamel ones also require detailed painting but create shiny surfaces afterward. Printed designs offer stunning visuals on their surface.

We ordered alumni pins for our graduating class and Eric and his team were prompt in all correspondence and worked efficiently to produce a great design and get the pins into production. They arrived quickly and were of high quality. We are so pleased with the product and the experience that we are about to place another order!

My experience with the Monterey Company was nothing short of stellar. The communication was quick and concise, but they really took a personal approach and didn't make me feel rushed or pressured at any point. The pins arrived more quickly than originally anticipated, which was a welcome surprise and the quality is far above anything else I've seen on the market.
