Acknowledge. Celebrate. Reward.

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.

Awesome company to work with!
The name pinsfast.com doesn’t do them justice. These guys are behind fast and do great work. We gave them our softball trading pin ideas and logos at the end of the day and they had us a digital proof of it the next morning. We had a few minor changes and they provided an update within the hour. We had heard of other companies shipping from China and other issues. So glad we found PinsFast.com as they’re right here in the US and are a quality company to do business with.
Amazing Quality, Price, and Customer Service
We make collectible pins to give out at each conference we attend as well as pins for our employees as we reach milestones. Ordering from Pins Fast is super convenient and they are always above and beyond helpful.
4th Time Buying
Im a repeat customer, using Pinsfast for the 4th time. I really like how personal and professional they are. I have had great service but that is secondary to how great the product is. Reliable, fast, and easy- thats why I use them.
Great Pins for our teachers
PinsFast did a great job designing our pin. The price was better than any other company I contacted, and they were the only company that could get them to use in our time frame. Other companies needed 8 weeks which would cut it close. PinsFast was able to do it much faster!
Response from Pins Fast
Thanks Susan, we brought back the sizing grid on our proofs in order to display the size of the pins in a way that’s easier to understand. Your next order is on us because we want to make sure you always get the proper size you need.

There are many different types, so we recommend that you call us. We can explain what would work best based on your needs.
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.
Photo Dome: These are similar to Standard Offset Printed pins because they also have the design printed onto them. Photo Dome differs in that the metal is thicker and the printed design is coated with a thick epoxy dome.
Feel free to call us to discuss the pros and cons of each material type or to request a pin sample kit.
