Choosing Custom Pins: Die-Struck vs Enamel Lapel Pins
Custom lapel pins are a staple for corporate recognition, high-end retail merchandise, and massive charity fundraisers. They are highly collectible and provide a permanent piece of branding. When you design a custom pin, you must choose between the classic, all-metal Die-Struck finish and the vibrant Enamel finish.
The Elegance of Die-Struck Pins
Die-struck pins rely entirely on texture and shadows to display your logo.
- The Look: They are crafted from solid metal featuring highly raised and deeply lowered areas, completely void of any colored paint or ink.
- The Feel: They provide a heavy, monochromatic look that mimics classic antique coins and premium hardware.
The Vibrancy of Enamel Pins
Enamel pins are designed to catch the eye instantly with bright colors.
- The Look: The pin is stamped to create raised metal borders, and the recessed areas are carefully filled with brightly colored enamel paint to exactly match your corporate branding.
The Raven32 Recommendation
The finish you choose should reflect the occasion. While brightly colored enamel pins are incredible for retail and youthful brands, our printing and promotional experts know that solid die-struck pins give a highly subtle, jewelry-like appearance. This makes them absolutely perfect for high-end corporate milestone awards and executive gifts. Contact us today to mint your custom pins.
