The Difference Between Rush Pins and Other Custom Pins

Many customers ask us, what is the difference between our Rush Pins and other types of custom pins?

Know The Difference

The difference can be clearly seen in the infographic below. While Rush Pins can appear very similar to other types of pins, there are some key differences. It is important to know the differences before you buy.

There are some key differences between regular pins and rush pins.

Metal Plating Types

Our Rush Pins have a thin metal surface which can be visible in areas where there is no printing. This metal surface can be brushed brass or brushed silver.The brushed surface allows for a more traditional metal surface.

Layered Material

In order to quickly print and shape pins in the U.S.A., we found a special material with layers of metal and plastic. It’s metal on the surface, but plastic underneath.

For many people, the message is more important than the material

Thin Metal Microsurface

Rush Pins are mostly composed of a metallic colored plastic material in order to quickly cut your pins into any shape with a laser. This high-grade “microsurface” material is also UV printable. The metal surface is treated with a clear varnish so that we can print onto it. The print has a strong adhesion and doesn’t flake off.

Areas with no printing are called “Alpha Channels”, where the substrate (metal microsurface) is visible. The metallic colored acrylic plastic material is not visible from the front because it is underneath the metal microsurface and print.

Textured Surfaces

Rush Pins cannot have raised metal surfaces like Soft Enamel Pins, but we can raise the printed surface instead. This allows your Rush Pins to have a slightly textured surface. Many people cannot tell the difference between them.

From a distance, not many people can tell the difference between enamel pins and rush pins.

Military Grade Attachment

Unlike other companies, PinsFast.com offers an attachment that cannot be easily removed. We chemically weld the attachment in place so that it can endure extreme force and stay in place. This, along with better quality material makes our Rush Pins extremely durable.
