Designing the piece

Glitter works best as a deliberate accent rather than a coating over every color field. Place it where movement and light should attract attention, while metal outlines protect the legibility of the original artwork.

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

Can glitter match a Pantone reference exactly?

Glitter appearance depends on the base color, particle size, and viewing angle. We can select a matching color family and recommend reviewing a physical sample for color-critical orders.

Why does the glitter pattern vary between pins?

Particles can settle and face different directions during filling and curing. We control the mix and process for consistency, with natural variation in the position of individual particles.

Can glitter be applied to just one letter of a logo?

Yes, if the letter has enough space and a defined metal border. Glitter can be hard to see in narrow strokes, so larger color areas usually work better.

Does glitter need a clear coat to keep particles in place?

It depends on the glitter color system and finish. A clear coat also changes the surface feel and reflections.

How much sparkle can you achieve on a glitter pin?

Sparkle depends on particle size, fill density, base color, and viewing angle. We can work from a reference sample. The effect will vary with lighting.

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.
