Frequently Asked Questions
Is this your first time ordering a custom pin design? Here are a few answers on ordering lapel pins with your design.
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.

Die-struck pins are known for being made of a single piece of metal, providing them with an elevated design and strength that other types lack. This makes this particular style have an iconic appearance while also offering greater durability.
Soft enamel pins not only do they look attractive, but they also endure wear and tear due to their sturdy design and are the best choice for branding. A clear epoxy dome can be added to create a smooth surface and to also protect the enamel.
Hard Enamel Pins: When looking for a long-lasting and quality option, they are the way to go. This style features recessed areas filled to the surface with enamel paint and then polished until shiny. Not only do they look amazing, but their sturdy construction also gives them resistance against scratches or fading over time, making these perfect accessories for extended use.
Printed and offset printed pins are a quick and ideal solution for those who prefer intricate designs and gradients. With the printing process allowing for full-color artwork to be transferred directly onto the metal surface of these personalized items, even minuscule details can shine through! Perfectly suited for a variety of events, including corporate engagements and fundraisers. Perfect for your next trade show or give-a-way item like trading pins as they make for impressive logos that stand out and are a great price.
