LAPEL PIN STYLES
We have multiple options for materials, finishes, and styles.
Soft Enamel
The most popular pin style. Solid metal with recessed areas to hold vibrant enamel ink. Metal edging can be any plating type. Despite it’s name, soft enamel pins are very durable and highly detailed.
Hard Enamel
Like soft enamel, they’re solid metal with a vivid enamel ink. The difference is hard enamel has a flat, smooth finish. Metal edging can be gold, silver or black nickel.
Die Struck
The metal is the focus with die struck. Choose from silver, gold, or antique metal finishes. Color can be overlaid on top. Very common with the military, government, and medals/awards.
Printed
The fastest style to manufacture. Your design is printed directly onto sheet metal and die-cut into shape. For designs with gradients or photos, this style is required.

There are many different types, so we recommend that you contact us for a detailed explanation. We can explain what would work best based on your needs, the pin design you want to use and what’s possible based on any rush deadlines that you need to meet.
Soft Enamel: The soft enamel style is where the colors are separated by a metal line. Most custom pins are Standard Soft Enamel pins. These metal pins have the design impressed into the metal. The recessed areas are then filled with enamel color. They’re vibrant and affordable.
Hard Enamel: These are metal with enamel color. But unlike standard soft enamel pins, Standard Hard Enamel pins have a flat, polished finish.
Die Struck: Made by impressing (striking) the pin design into solid metal, Standard Die Struck pins usually have minimal or no color overlaid, so the metal color is the focus.
Offset Printed: Your design is printed onto a smooth, metal surface. Offset Printing allows for gradients or more intricate color than enamel pins.
Rush Order Pins: “Rush Pins” from PinsFast.com are made from composite materials that include metal and acrylic. This high-quality material allows us to manufacture pins faster than anyone else in the USA. Our customers love them!
Feel free to call us to discuss the pros and cons of each material type or to request a pin sample kit.
