Designing the piece

Die casting suits irregular outlines and dimensional metal that carries the identity without depending on large color fields. Use relief to separate the main emblem from the background and keep fine detail appropriate for the finished scale.

Start with the artwork and intended use

Send the logo, sketch, or reference image together with the intended use, quantity, delivery country, and target date. These details give the team a practical basis for artwork review and a focused quotation; any undecided choices can remain open for discussion.

FAQ

Common questions

Which pin designs are better suited to die casting?

Consider zinc alloy die casting for deep cutouts, irregular contours, large changes in thickness, or complex 3D shapes. We check thin connections and the direction of mold release before confirming the design.

Can thin projections on a die-cast pin break?

The risk depends on the material, thickness, unsupported length, and direction of force. We review thin tails, points, and unsupported parts before tooling and may recommend thickening or supporting them.

Can die-cast lapel pins have internal cutouts?

Yes. The size, number, and position of the cutouts affect tooling and edge finishing. Small holes or those close to the edge may need adjustments after we review your drawing.

Why can die-cast pins be heavier than die-struck pins?

Die-cast pins often have thicker, more sculpted structures. Weight depends mainly on the amount of metal, dimensions, and internal construction.

What sizes do custom lapel pins come in, and how do you handle small logos?

Our standard sizes range from 0.75 to 3 inches. Fine lettering and small color areas may need simplifying on smaller pins. We can recommend a size that keeps your design readable.

When does the production lead time for lapel pins start?

Production typically takes 7–15 business days after we confirm the final artwork, process, and order details. Shipping is separate. Complex artwork, extra samples, or special packaging may change the schedule.

Is a single or double pin post better for keeping a lapel pin from turning?

One post generally works for a small, evenly balanced pin. Two posts help keep wide, irregular, or heavier pins from rotating when worn.
