Recognition Pins

Acknowledge. Celebrate. Reward.

Recognition pins are an excellent way to show appreciation. Popular uses are for years of service, a special achievement, retirement, academic success, and more.

For years-of-service pins, you can order them with a specific number of years (e.g. 5 years) or order a mixture of different numbers for various uses (e.g. 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, etc.).

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!

Rated 5.0 out of 5

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.

Great Pins for our teachers

Rated 5.0 out of 5

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!

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.
