Lapel pins made to your artwork, quoted from the factory price.
Send the pin size, the plating and enamel colours, and the date you need them in hand. We price the job at the factory and you approve a proof before it runs.
One die, then plating, enamel or print decides the finish.
Every pin starts as a die cut from your artwork and struck in brass or steel. From there the finish is a choice: leave the metal exposed for a die struck pin, fill the recesses with enamel for colour, or chemically etch the fine detail into brass and fill it with soft enamel for sharper lettering. Every construction plates in gold, silver or nickel, with copper also an option, and can be antiqued, sandblasted or polished.
- Die struck: brass or steel, stamped and cut to your outline, then plated.
- Photo etched: your artwork etched into brass for fine lettering, filled with soft enamel.
- Cloisonne and soft enamel: colour poured into recessed cells for a smooth, durable finish.
- Silkscreened and offset printed: full colour art printed under a clear epoxy dome.
Pick the finish, and we match the factory that runs it best.
From a polished die struck outline to a full colour print under epoxy, the construction and finish are set by how the pin will be worn and what the artwork needs to show.
Cloisonne hard enamel
Enamel fired flush with the raised metal for a smooth, glass like surface that resists chipping. The formal choice for a lasting emblem pin.
Die struck soft enamel
Recessed enamel colour fills a die struck outline for bold, graphic detail at a lower cost than hard enamel.
Die struck without enamel
A classic dimensional pin in plated metal alone: brass or steel, gold, silver, nickel or copper, antiqued, sandblasted or polished.
Photo etched
Your artwork is chemically etched into brass for fine lettering and detail, filled with soft enamel and domed in clear epoxy.
Silkscreened
Full colour artwork printed directly onto a flat metal pin, a fast way to reproduce a detailed logo.
Offset printed
Full colour, photographic detail printed under a clear epoxy dome, suited to gradients and fine photographic art.

Six answers, one accurate quote.
Size
Overall width and height, or the diameter for a round pin.
Quantity
How many pins, and whether you need more than one size.
Colours
How many enamel or print colours the artwork calls for.
Attachment
Butterfly clutch, rubber clutch, magnetic back or a safety pin, chosen for how the pin will be worn.
Artwork
Vector artwork, AI, EPS or PDF, gives the cleanest die and the truest colour match. A PNG or a photo of an existing pin works to start.
In-hands date
The date you need the pins on site, which the production schedule is built backward from.
Gold, silver, nickel or copper, then how it clips on.
Every plated pin finish comes in gold, silver or nickel, with copper as an option, and can be antiqued, sandblasted or simply polished for contrast. On the back, a butterfly clutch is the standard secure attachment; a rubber clutch, a magnetic back for uniforms that cannot be pierced, or a safety pin for quick attachment are also available. A die is cut for every new pin design; mold charges for a die struck without enamel pin are the same as for die struck soft enamel.
- Plating: gold, silver, nickel or copper.
- Finish: antiqued, sandblasted or polished.
- Attachment: butterfly clutch, rubber clutch, magnetic back or safety pin.
