Announcing 2-4 Day Rush Pins!

Pin Pros is pleased to announce we now can make and ship custom lapel pins in just 2 days!

Minimum quantity is just 50 pins.

Order on Monday and receive on Thursday. Need them even quicker? Just ask. We may be able to do it.

2-4 Day rush pins are photodome pins. We take an exact image of your art (if you don't have art we'll create it for you) and print using a state-of-the-art digital printer. We then apply an acrylic dome and cure the acrylic. Other companies use epoxy because it's cheaper. However, epoxy will yellow after a few years. Our acrylic will not yellow. It costs us more to use acrylic but we do it to give you a lapel pin that will look nice a few years from now.

Our photodome lapel pins are made in the U.S.A. right here at our plant in Ogden, UT.

Hard-Enamel Cloisonné Pins

Hard-enamel cloisonné pins are called by many names. Some lapel pin manufacturers call them new cloisonné, semi-cloisonné, clois-tech, cloisonné II, epola, hard-enamel and sometimes even just cloisonné. These have been around for a couple decades and offer color matching through the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Because cloisonné only offers a small variety of colors, most people choose hard-enamel cloisonné. Our most popular pin, hard enamel cloisonné offer durability, versatility and long-life.

Authentic Cloisonné

Lapel Pin Manufacturer CloisonneCustom Lapel Pin CloisonneCloisonne Lapel Pin

Centuries-old tradition of pin-making. Glass powders are placed inside the metal lines and fired in an oven at over 1500 degrees. Authentic cloisonné pins do not allow the same level of detail as hard enamel cloisonné pins. Also, there are less than 150 colors to choose in making your pins. More . . . . Get a price quote


Soft-Enamel

Soft Enamel Lapel PinSoft Enamel Custom Lapel PinSoft Enamel Lapel Pin Manufacturer

These pins have a slight "embossed" feel to them. The enamel is slightly lower than the metal ridges. During the manufacturing process, we're able to skip two steps so the price is lower than cloisonné or hard enamel cloisonné. We begin by striking your design into an iron or copper base and then we plate to your specific plating requirement.

Die-Struck

Die-struck uses the same manufacturing process as the soft enamel pins above. Color may be added or the pins can be simply plated. The lion pin above is 3-D. 3-D is available only in this type of process. Frequently, these pins are plated in antique shading as shown in the first and third pin above. More . . . .

Photo-Etched

The mold for photo-etched pins is made with chemicals. Enamel color is then filled in the depressed areas to create the pin. Usually, an epoxy layer is placed on top to give the pin a smooth finish. The base of the pin is thinner than other pins. A good choice when fine details are needed and cost is a concern. More . . . . Get a price quote


Photo-Dome

Photo-dome pins take an exact reproduction of your art and place it on a lapel pin. The art is printed and then applied to a flat pin. Epoxy is placed over the printed paper to create a beautiful lapel pin. If your art has color gradients, photo-dome is the only method available to reproduce your art without changes. More . . . .
