## All-metal detail, without enamel

Die-struck pins express your design through raised metal and recessed backgrounds rather than enamel color. Sandblasted recesses contrast with polished highlights, giving lettering, crests and emblems a clear, understated finish for uniforms, corporate recognition and commemorative editions.

## From artwork to finished pin

The approved artwork defines the outline, lettering and relief before a custom die is cut. The design is struck into metal, finished with the selected surface texture and plating, and assembled with the chosen backing. Gold, nickel and antique finishes create different levels of contrast without adding color fill.

Keep fine lettering readable at the actual pin size. Strong outlines and controlled recesses preserve the character of the emblem; a polished border can frame a textured background without competing with the main design.

## Choose the presentation to suit the occasion

- Corporate and employee recognition: a restrained metal finish for logos and service milestones.

- Military, government and association insignia: clear crests, mottos and formal borders.

- Commemorative and fundraising programs: dates and symbols coordinated with a backing card or gift box.

## Plan your order

The minimum order is 50 pieces. Typical production takes 7-15 business days, excluding shipping; the final schedule is confirmed with the artwork and quotation. Send your logo or sketch, intended size, quantity, delivery country and target date. Backing and packaging choices can be refined during the design review.

## Design considerations

For logos and seals, start with clear outlines and a single relief hierarchy. A polished raised emblem against a textured recess gives a readable contrast without relying on colored fill.

**Can die-struck iron pins have a complex outline?** 

Die-struck iron suits relatively regular outlines and flatter designs. We check whether the die can cut deep openings and slender projections cleanly. Zinc alloy die casting may suit more complex or sculpted shapes.

**Why can die-struck iron pins have burrs at the edges?** 

Edges are trimmed and polished after striking. Very sharp corners and narrow slots can still show slight unevenness after hand polishing. We flag trouble spots in the artwork and check production against the approved sample.

**Can die-struck iron pins rust?** 

Iron can oxidize if the plating is damaged or the pin is exposed to moisture or sweat for long periods. We confirm the plating and surface protection for each order. Avoid prolonged immersion, salt spray, and humid storage.

**How does the design stand out on an uncolored die-struck pin?** 

Raised and recessed areas, sandblasted textures, and polished surfaces create contrast. Mark the raised and recessed areas on your artwork so we can check whether the die can reproduce fine lines and lettering.

**Will the front design show through on the back of a die-struck pin?** 

It depends on the thickness and die setup. A standard single-sided pin typically has no clear mirror image on the back. If you need back text, texture, or a logo, mention it when requesting a quote so we can assess the tooling.

**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.
