Key Benefits

 


Direct Screen-Printed Precision: Transfers approved vector artwork directly onto the metal surface with sharp edge definition.


Exposed Metallic Contrast: Rich brass surface can remain exposed to frame or highlight the design as a metallic border or background.


Ideal for Micro-Details: Eliminates the need for raised metal mold lines, enabling clear reproduction of fine graphics and small text.


Exact Pantone Color Matching: Custom-blended inks matched to official Pantone references ensure brand consistency across initial runs and reorders.


Flexible Custom Silhouettes: The metal substrate can be stamped into standard geometric formats or custom die-cut shapes.

Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process

 


Digital Proofing: Supplied vector artwork is scaled to exact physical dimensions to generate a digital proof showing Pantone color codes, cutlines, and print registration bounds for buyer sign-off.


Base Metal Stamping: High-grade metal sheets are precision-stamped to create the approved pin silhouette.


Brass Plating: Formed metal bases undergo electroplating to apply the specified brass finish and are inspected for a clean surface foundation.


Screen Preparation and Printing: Individual silk screens are prepared for each Pantone color. Inks are applied layer-by-layer with checks for registration alignment, density, and edge definition.


Curing and Protective Coating: Printed inks are heat-cured for long-term durability. An optional clear epoxy dome can be applied to provide a smooth, scratch-resistant shield.


Backing Attachment and Final QC: Pin posts are securely fused to the back of the metal body and tested for strength before undergoing final quality inspection and packaging.

 

Quality Control Standards

 


Metal and Plating Inspection: Checked for surface pits, scratches, discoloration, or plating burrs.


Print Registration and Color Accuracy: Alignment is verified under magnification, and printed colors are matched against physical Pantone guides under standardized lighting.


Coating and Attachment Integrity: Epoxy coatings are checked for air bubbles or dust, and pin posts are stress-tested for secure fastening.

FAQ

 

 

Q: Are silkscreen printed metal pins suitable for detailed logos?

A: Yes. Screen printing is the preferred method for logos with small typography, fine lines, and flat multi-color layouts that cannot accommodate the raised metal borders required by enamel pins.

Q: Can we match our exact corporate Pantone colors?

A: Yes. All inks are mixed to match official Pantone Matching System (PMS) color codes to ensure complete brand consistency across initial and future runs.

Q: Is an epoxy dome coating necessary?

A: An epoxy dome is optional. Adding a clear epoxy dome creates a smooth, glossy surface that protects the printed ink from wear and scratching. Omitting the epoxy leaves a flat printed finish with exposed metallic contrast.

Q: How do you guarantee quality on repeat wholesale orders?

A: We archive all vector artwork files, Pantone assignments, plating specifications, and master production samples. Future runs are manufactured against these exact physical standards to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency.

Q: What is the standard sample and mass production lead time?

A: Digital proofs are generated within 12 hours. Physical pre-production samples require 3-5 days, and bulk mass production takes 10-12 business days following sample approval.
