Designing the piece

Keep the moving element light enough for a wearable pin and make each visible position part of the artwork. The backing, rotation clearance, and principal viewing angle should be considered from the first sketch.

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 a spinner pin rub against its outer ring?

The spinner needs clearance from the frame. Too little can cause binding, and too much can cause wobble. We confirm the clearance for the material, thickness, and assembly method.

Are spinner pins thicker than standard pins?

Usually. An axle, rivet, or layered construction often makes a spinner pin thicker than a single-layer pin.

Can a spinner pin have different designs on each side of the moving part?

Yes. We design the two faces, rivet position, and weight distribution together. An uneven balance can change how the pin spins.

Are spinner pins suitable for children?

Moving parts may include small pieces or protruding edges. Suitability depends on age, intended use, and market requirements. We recommend a risk assessment and any applicable testing before marketing them as toys.

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.
