Custom Sliding Lapel Pins

Travel depends on the guide length, frame size, and stops. Mark the desired start and end points so we can evaluate the guide and stop positions.

Sliding pins generally use mechanical stops or an enclosed guide. The method depends on the design. We identify the stops when confirming the structure.

Some designs can support two sliders with enough spacing and guidance. The extra part makes assembly more complex. We check track width and retention before confirming production.

The feel depends on assembly clearance, plating thickness, burrs, and guide tolerances. We use the approved sample as a reference for smooth movement. Mechanical sliders require some clearance.

Yes. We keep decoration separate from the sliding contact surfaces to reduce friction, color wear, and binding.

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.

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.

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