## Raised metal, recessed color

Soft enamel pins combine raised metal outlines with recessed enamel fields, creating a tactile surface and clear color separation. They suit brand logos, team mascots, trading pins and event merchandise where bold color and an accessible custom format matter.

## Color and finish choices

The artwork is translated into a custom die, then formed in metal and plated before the recessed areas are filled and cured. Pantone color references help coordinate the enamel with your identity. Glitter, glow-in-the-dark and translucent effects can be considered where they support the design.

Use strong outlines and readable color areas rather than crowding the pin with tiny details. A few well-chosen colors keep the main image clear; larger formats offer more room for fine lettering and complex artwork.

## Soft enamel or a smooth finish?

Choose soft enamel when you want visible depth between the metal and color. A polished imitation hard enamel pin offers a smoother surface, while a die-struck pin keeps the design entirely in metal. Backings, backing cards and presentation boxes complete the piece for retail, recognition or collecting.

## Plan your order

The minimum order is 50 pieces, with typical production of 7-15 business days excluding shipping. Share the logo, preferred dimensions, color references, quantity and delivery date so the artwork, finish and packaging can be reviewed together.

## Design considerations

Keep the smallest lines legible. For initial artwork, use approximately 0.3 mm metal borders on pins under 1 inch and 0.5 mm on larger pieces. Artwork review confirms which details the chosen size can carry.

**Why are the metal lines raised on a soft enamel pin?** 

Soft enamel fills the recessed areas, leaving the metal outlines raised and easy to feel. For a flatter surface, choose imitation hard enamel.

**Can soft enamel colors meet without a metal line between them?** 

Traditional soft enamel uses metal lines to separate neighboring colors. We flag narrow dividers and small color areas in the artwork. Printing is usually better for seamless gradients.

**How does soft enamel hold up on a backpack?** 

Soft enamel suits everyday wear. Repeated rubbing against keys, zippers, or hard surfaces can wear the color and plating. We can discuss a clear coating or a more abrasion-resistant construction for your use.

**Can you add glitter to selected areas of a soft enamel pin?** 

Yes. Glitter works in separate color areas with enough space and a clear metal boundary. Very narrow lettering or recesses may show little glitter.

**Can soft enamel recesses have different depths?** 

Depth depends on the die levels and the filling process. Mark any areas that need deeper engraving or sculpted detail on layered artwork so we can check what is manufacturable.

**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.
