Three main imprint methods used to create custom pins
There are several methods that are used to customize a pin. Depending upon the colors and materials desired, the imprint methods can be divided in:
Die struck soft enamel process is one of the most used processes for making lapel pins. Unlike cloisonné, the areas of color sit below the metal strip surface, giving the pin an embossed air. Like the photo etched process, the top can be covered with protective epoxy for a smoother appearance. Including up to four colors to display your logo beautifully, soft enamel lapel pin is one of the most versatile and widely used in the family of pins. So, if you want a traditional look and good quality at an affordable price, then die struck soft enamel pins is the way to go.
Etched soft enamel lapel pins Cloisonné hard enamel pins
Cloisonné-hard enamel pins, cloisonné, is an ancient metalworking technique developed centuries ago in China during the Ming dynasty. The craft is a multi-step enamel process commonly used to produce jewelry, vases, and other decorative items. Also called hard enamel, this method offers high-quality, jewelry-like feel. These pins feature a sharp contrast between colors to highlight bold designs. Besides being a great recognition tool for your valued customers and employees you can customize a pin with your business name to create an effective promotional giveaway that recipients will take pride in wearing.
Etched Soft enamel lapel pins are made by using a photographic negative to chemically etch your design into a base metal such as steel, aluminum, copper, brass or iron. The recessed areas created by this process are then filled with soft enamel and baked at high temperatures before being highly polished. Take into account that etched pins are thinner than die struck pins and therefore are often used for large pin designs where weight may be an issue. Plus, they are also less costly at lower quantities because an expensive die does not have to be made for this type of pin. So, use them for larger designs when weight is a concern. And when the price is the concern, use them for lower quantities.
