Soft Enamel Lapel Pins

This style of pin, the soft enamel pin, is the most prevalent and popular with our customers.

This flexibility gives your custom enamel pin the greatest potential. If you need to reproduce a design exactly, the soft enamel pin might be the one for you.

WHAT MAKES A PIN A SOFT ENAMEL PIN?

The basis of a custom Soft Enamel pin is a Die Struck pin. During the production process, a die is stamped into a “blank” creating recessed areas in the face of the pin. In these recessed areas of the pin, we fill a paint enamel thus the name Soft Enamel pin.

WHEN THINGS CALL FOR A LITTLE MORE PANACHE:

Custom Pin Design Options

Who doesn’t like to upgrade? All of the pins we make are awesome as they are but if you want to spruce up yours there are many different options that can add eye catching elements. Here are some of the enhancements we offer for our custom lapel pins.

Cut Outs: Turn your custom enamel pin into a keychain or a charm with a simple, affordable cut out! Or achieve unique pin shapes with designs incorporating internal cut outs.
Glitter Paint: When your custom pins need to be a little extra, we can make virtually any paint enamel glittered!
Translucent Paint: Add depth to your custom lapel pins with translucent colors. Perfect for high end trading pins and enamel pins created as merchandise.
Silk Screen Color: If your custom enamel pin design calls for fine detailing, such as trademark or copyright symbols, silk screening is the answer. Popularized by t-shirt prints, silk screening can allow color to be applied to a pin without needing to be “surrounded” by metal borders of the enamel pin.
3D Molding: Similar to how world leaders are depicted on coin currency, 3D Molding gives your custom pins an extra dimension.

ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HOLD YOUR PIN TO YOUR LAPEL:

Custom Pin Clutches and Backings

The custom enamel lapel pins we create come standard with a rubber clutch but if you’re looking to upgrade here are the available clutches, attachments and backings that can secure your lapel pin.

Rubber Clutch: Our most popular pin clutch, the rubber clutch is comfortable against your skin, easy to attach to the pin post and comes in black and yellow colors.
Butterfly Clutch: Also known as a Military Clutch (as it is found on military insignia as a default attachment), this clutch is classic and comes without any cost to you.
Jewelry Clutch: The name says it all. When your enamel pins require that jewelry edge, this clutch completes the overall effect. Turn your pins into jewelry with a simple clutch upgrade.
Magnetic Backing: Some clothing is precious or some clothing is worn on a daily basis, like a uniform, and you can’t have a million pin holes poked into them. The Magnetic Clutch comes in to save the day. With one magnetic attached to the enamel pin backing and another magnet supplied to attach from the back side of your clothing, this clutch keeps your clothes hole-free.
Deluxe Clutch: When your enamel pins need a high end look but can’t afford the tall profile of our Jewelry Clutch, the Deluxe Clutch provides the fanciness that your pin requires with a lower profile.

Your custom enamel pin requires a 3D mold.
Your pin order is made up of multiple, different designs.
Your custom pin order is under the minimum order quantity.

The estimated manufacturing time is 7 business days which starts the following business day from when you place your order. Shipping time thereafter would be approximately 2 business days via air delivery with carriers like UPS, FedEx and DHL. Please note, the manufacturing time for a custom enamel pin order may increase due to the complexity of your design. Contact us for more information if you think your custom pin might be more complex than typical.

Do you offer free shipping to an APO/FPO address?

We offer free shipping to physical addresses within the USA for all of our custom enamel pin orders. If your shipping address is outside the USA or is at Postal Box then we would require an additional shipping charge that covers our costs to ship your order.

We do not have a "Rush Pin" style of pin which is typically a printed design. Though we understand their need and necessity in certain situations, we do not feel the quality fits our standards. If you are on a tight deadline, please contact us to see if we have the possibility of meeting your deadline even if under our advertised production time. There are certain custom pin specifications that might allow a turn-around time that would meet your needs.

What is the difference between hard enamel and cloisonne?

This is a great question. The hard enamel style of custom pin, that is sometimes called cloisonne by the industry, will have a smooth face and the soft enamel style will have a textured face which is caused by the colored areas being "lower" than the metal areas which are "raised".

Do you offer silk screen lapel pins?

We do offer silk screen printed lapel pins. Silk screening can be added to any pin that has a flat, smooth area on it. "Silk-screenable" areas include raised metal and cloisonne enamels. The cost is $19.00 for each color with a per pin cost of $.10 per color, per pin.

Do I have to pay for you to design my custom lapel pin?

Our custom enamel pin design services are free of charge though we do not allow use of the artwork in other mediums until the order for your custom lapel pins is paid for and manufactured.

What are enamel pins made of?

Enamel pins may look like a shiny gold or silver material but those metals are actually just platings. The base material of a custom pin is typically made of one of three metals: Iron, Brass or Zinc.

Read more about what enamel pins are made of here.

How much do custom enamel pins cost?

We are proud to provide upfront, clear pricing on our website so you can visit our custom pin Pricing Page for a good idea of what your pin order would cost. For an accurate, written quote, please fill out our free quote form.

I need a small batch of custom enamel pins. What is your minimum order?

Our minimum order is 100 pins of a design.

Are your custom pins printed?

The vast majority of the custom enamel pins we create are stamped with a die or molded in a cast mold. Rarely do we entirely print a design unless the order calls for something photographic in nature.

Can I reorder my enamel pins?

Reordering your custom enamel pin design is really easy! Just call or email us with your "File Name" or any other order identifying information you may have along with the number of pins you would like to reorder. Note, we keep the dies or molds for your enamel pins for a period of two years.
