## Designing the piece

The fixed and moving layers should each make sense and reveal a useful change when the slider travels. Keep the path simple, protect small details from the moving part, and use the interaction to support the idea rather than distract from it.

## 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.

**How far can the slider on a sliding pin travel?** 

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.

**How is the slider kept in its track?** 

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

**Can a pin have two independently moving sliders?** 

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.

**Why can sliding pins vary in how tightly they move?** 

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.

**Can the moving part of a sliding pin be filled with enamel?** 

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

**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.
