Creating custom soft enamel lapel pins involves a traditional manufacturing process that results in a highly textured, premium finish. The production begins by striking a custom die from your artwork to stamp the design directly into the metal base. Once the raised and recessed areas are formed, the recessed sections are individually filled by hand with liquid enamel colours. Finally, the pins are baked in a low-heat furnace to cure the enamel, ensuring the colours are permanently sealed and clearly separated by the raised metal borders.
Organisations frequently order these lapel pins to build corporate identity or recognise staff achievements. A sporting club might commission them to commemorate a milestone anniversary, while a corporate office could issue them to employees upon completing five years of service. Because the manufacturing process naturally creates distinct boundaries between colours, this style is an excellent alternative to Cloisonné for designs that require bold, simplistic artwork with clear colour separation.
To match your specific branding requirements, the metal base can be plated in gold, silver, or bronze finishes. The product range covers a wide variety of dimensions to suit different applications, starting from subtle 15mm options up to prominent 50mm identification pins. With minimum orders starting at just 50 units, they provide a cost-effective way to produce professional lapel pins for your next event or uniform rollout.
Common Questions
How are the colours applied to these lapel pins?
The recessed areas of the die struck metal are individually filled by hand with liquid enamel colours, which are then baked in a furnace to cure and seal them.
What metal finishes can I choose from?
You can select from gold, silver, or bronze plating for the metal base, allowing you to match your corporate style or create tiered award categories.
What is the difference between the raised and recessed areas?
The die striking process creates raised metal borders that separate the different sections of your design, while the recessed areas hold the coloured enamel.
Are these suitable for highly detailed artwork?
These lapel pins are ideal for simplistic designs that require clear colour separation, as the metal borders keep each enamel colour distinct and bold.
