Custom lapel pins are useful for raising awareness of social causes, recognizing corporate achievement and trading at Little League baseball and softball games. With several different styles of pins available, there’s sure to be a lapel pin at a price and color for almost any need.

Die struck lapel pins have no color added. The pin is stamped from a die, and recessed areas are sandblasted to give them a grainy appearance. Raised areas of the pin are polished to shine.

Photo etched lapel pins not as durable as other types, because they are made of thinner metal. The design is etched into the surface of the pin using a chemical process similar to that used to develop photographic film negatives. These lapel pins need epoxy coating added to extend their life.

Offset Digital Pins are the only lapel pin type on which gradients, drop shadows, and photographs can be reproduced. Because the photograph-quality image is printed onto the pin instead of die-struck into the metal, these pins, unlike other types, will have no raised or recessed areas. Epoxy coating is recommended for these pins.

Silk screened lapel pin colors are printed one at a time, similar to the process used to print T-shirts. Like offset digital pins, these will have no raised and recessed areas. Epoxy coating is recommended for these pins.

Soft enamel lapel pins look like the cloisonné pin, but are more affordable, because colors are made from soft enamel and are fired at a lower temperature. Soft enamel pins can have an added epoxy coating to increase their durability. These are the most popular style for sports trading pins.

The highest quality lapel pins are cloisonné pins. These fine jewelry-quality pins are die-struck, then filled with a glass-like mixture of hard enamel and individually fired at high temperatures to ensure the longest durability. Because the manufacturing process is so complex, cloisonné lapel pins are the most expensive lapel pin type. These are best suited for custom lapel pins for the business world and are only rarely used for sports trading pins.

Iron Stamped lapel pins  is very similar in production to the soft enamel lapel pins except that the material is using iron instead of copper for custom lapel pins. Pantone Colors(PMS) are used in this type of lapel pins. It is one of the lowest costs of all the different types of pins available today. The surface of an iron pin may be covered with epoxy to protect the colors.

Iron soft enamel is almost the same looking as copper soft enamel because the production procedures are quite similar, but the unit price is cheaper than both copper and photo etched soft enamel because iron is less expensive. Some customers choose iron soft enamel instead of copper soft enamel.

How to differentiate copper soft enamel and iron soft enamel?

Iron and copper is relatively hard material to teach, not all the lines being so strong copper; iron lapel pins save time not to long copper; Although the additional pressure of iron into the glass surface of Li, the surface appears to have a certain gloss, But still can not compare with the bronze lapel pin.

At end,here is a simple tip for your reference .Use a magnet, if the lapel pins stuck on magnet, it is iron soft enamel; if not, it is copper or brass soft enamel. This is the easiest way to tell the difference.

Cloisonné (often called hard enamel) – first choice  for custom lapel pins
Cloisonné lapel pins is used the traditional Chinese cloisonné pin making process. Since most of the pins (so I hear) is manufactured in China, in a sense, this lapel pin of the production process, only to come to their place of origin system for the elections.
The main characteristics of cloisonné brooch vibrant color, smooth surface. If cloisonné add the Epoxy on the surface, then add a layer, pins will be more dazzling, but also as a general crystal jewelry. Such pins are really superb in Need. But because the color enamel material is limited, so now the market is generally used instead of color paste liquid enamel imitation enamel material, do the effects come out with cloisonné is the same. 
soft enamel – Runner-up
If you do not have the first process, then soft enamel is a very good choice, and it  use is very extensive. This pin is very strong three-dimensional surface is uneven, sunken Department is filled Pantone pigment to highlight the protruding wire, make pins more sense contours. 
die struck – third
The first two of these pins and insignia do not need to enter the main difference is the color material. Convex or a fine metal wire, concave groove Department of the original coloring is used in place of discharge or frosted effect. Make them look neater. Many highly collectible pins are to do with stamping out, but usually gold or silver material like.
Silkscreen printing – Cheapest option
Usually your economic budget not too high, or more complex designs will choose this process. This process is like the same photos printed on pin logo to the surface, for the protection of designs will add a layer of transparent resin, pin slight muster.
All in all there are several types of pins, select the types of processes entirely up to you. Of course, you can also go to those professional lapel pins site up for reference, choose the most appropriate emblem.

You must design your custom pin according to your goal and image. The elements of your design will include: theme, symbols, colors, shape and size. If you’re designing a pin to celebrate your organization’s anniversary you’ll want to include the name, location and anniversary date into the design. If you’re designing a pin to commemorate your term as presiding officer, maybe you have adopted a slogan that embodies your goal for the term. This slogan can be incorporated into your design in order to promote your theme during the term.

In a word, your theme will depend greatly on the purpose of the pin. First, you must choose a good sense of pattern. Most organizations have many symbols from which to choose, each with their own meaning. However, there is usually one primary symbol or logo that is most commonly used. In some organizations the presiding officer may adopt an emblem he or she likes that’s not necessarily taken from the ritual or symbolism of the organization.

Second, Choose colors that you like.

Does your organization have standard colors that you would like to include? The Order of the Eastern Star’s primary symbol contains five colors that make a beautiful emblem. Pins don’t always have to include color. Many designs look beautiful in bright gold or silver finishes without enameling. With the variety of manufacturing processes, the sky is the limit. You may want to consider a die struck pin that has an “antique” or even a “sandblasted” finish.

Let me talk shapes of lapel pins, Standard shapes include: round, oval, square, rectangle, triangle, state outlines, flags and everything in between. And we can make more creative lapel pins. Would your symbol be a good overall shape for your pin? If your primary symbol is an apple, you could make the outer shape that of an apple put additional symbols and your name and year inside the shape and enamel it in red. Sometimes the information and symbols to be included on the pin dictate the shape.

The size of your pin is very important. After you’ve sketched out your design and decided on a shape, you’re ready to select a size. A good rule to follow is this: If you can’t easily read what’s on the pin, it’s too small! Pins are typically made in sizes from 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ and cost varies with size. For best results, draw your design on plain white paper using black ink. Place the paper on the photocopier and shrink the image.

Review the processes offered and take a look at quality samples. Choose an appropriate manufacturing process is very important also. Now, the most popular processes are Imitation enamel lapel pins and Acid Etched Soft Enamel. You must consider how much detail your pin will require because some processes may not be suited to your design. For example, If exact color matching is required, some processes can’t be used.

Please give enough time to your Manufacturers, which can avoid run charges and expensive express delivery costs.
