Lapel Pin

– Premium Personalized Enamel Pins for Corporate Branding & Events

The colored filling for soft enamel pins is high at the edges where it meets the metal frame but then dips inward.Soft enamel pins are bumpy to the touch because of these dips. Soft enamel is a good choice for simple designs and people that want affordable pins. Less expensive since the process for creating them is faster.Can show clearer detail in designs.

Hard enamel badges have a smooth feel. The manufacturing process for hard enamel is the same as for soft enamel, but the surface is water-polished to a smooth finish, flush with the outline of the metal frame. This allows for more even application of the pigments and metal, creating a smooth surface. They appear more elegant and refined, are more scratch-resistant, and are generally more durable. Each color requires individual high-temperature baking in a special oven, which increases production time and cost. For more intricate details, colors can be screen-printed onto the surface for added luster.

Custom Offset Printed Lapel Pins mean unlimited colors, photo realism, and gradients can be incorporated into the design! Often just called “printed pins”, this pin type is good for getting a ton of detail into a small space. The offset printed pin type is perfect for capturing the most detailed drop shadows, gradients and fine text.

Compared to traditional soft enamel badges that require hand-filling each color, UV printing offers a significant leap in efficiency thanks to modern digital technology. While maintaining high color saturation and nuanced detail, it accurately replicates complex patterns, including gradients and images, achieving a visual quality comparable to traditional soft enamel. UV printing further transcends the limitations of flat surfaces, directly displaying exquisite designs on three-dimensional embossed surfaces, giving badges greater visual depth and a vibrant texture. Whether facing tight deadlines or seeking cost-effective large-volume customization, UV printing provides consistent quality and efficient response, helping you quickly meet market demands.Between efficiency and expressiveness, UV printing offers another elegant level of achievement.

For a classic, sophisticated look, die struck pins feature no enamel coloring. The design is stamped into metal and finished with plating options. These pins convey timeless elegance and are particularly popular for achievement awards, membership recognition, and heritage commemoration.
