Enamel Lapel Pin

A 3/4 inch lapel pin, die struck and then filled with soft enamel, so the raised metal lines of the design stand above the color. It is the least expensive enamel pin in this range. The trade you make for that price is time, not construction: the die struck process runs on a long schedule.

Clubs, schools and collector programs

The buyers are organizations that plan a quarter ahead: clubs marking membership years, schools recognizing honor roll or graduating classes, and collector programs that release a new pin each season. Companies also use them for service anniversaries and team recognition, where a small metal pin on a jacket or lanyard carries more weight than a printed sticker.

Designing a soft enamel pin at 3/4 inch

At three quarters of an inch, every element of the design needs a metal line around it, so keep the artwork simple: a few solid color areas, bold outlines and little or no small text. Gradients and photographic detail do not suit this construction. Send your logo and we will return a free proof showing the metal lines and color fills before production begins.

Pricing from 300 pins

• 300 pins: $2.06 each, $618.00
• 500 pins: $1.72 each, $860.00
• 1,000 pins: $1.42 each, $1,420.00
• 2,500 pins: $1.12 each, $2,800.00

The 300-piece minimum already comes to more than $500, so no setup is added at any tier. Moving from 300 to 1,000 cuts the unit price by about 31%, which matters if you award pins every year and can use the extras later.

Twenty business days of production

Production runs about 20 business days once the proof is approved, and shipping is added after that. For an annual meeting, a graduation or a season launch, start the order six weeks or more before the date. This is not the item for a deadline next week.

What is the minimum order?

300 pins.

Why does it take longer than printed items?

Die striking and enamel filling run on a long schedule, which is the trade-off for the low price per pin.

Is there a setup charge?

No. Even the smallest order is above the $500 waiver.
