Lapel Pin Types

centuryCentury Hard Enamel Lapel Pins - The most popular pin manufacturing process used today. An excellent and less expensive alternative to Traditional Hard Enamel, Century Hard Enamel uses a resin paste to achieve an authentic, hard, glasslike appearance. Unlike Traditional Hard Enamel, Century Hard Enamels can be matched to meet your exact PMS color needs.
hard enamelTraditional (Cloisonné) Hard Enamel Lapel Pins - An art developed over 6,000 years ago in China. Each design is stamped into metal. The recessed areas are filled with a glass paste, (in limited colors), and individually hard fired at 1,400-degree temperatures. A beautiful hard glass finish is created, making Traditional Hard Enamel the choice for those who require the very best.
die-struckDie-Struck Lapel Pins - In place of enamel colors, add elegance to your pins using stamped metal to express your message with simplicity. A variety of plating, finishes and textures can be incorporated for added style and identity.

The perfect solution for recognition and award programs, Die-Struck Medals & Medallions are authentic symbols of achievement. Available as 2- or 3-dimensional dies, with a variety of finishes including gold, silver and copper plating, sandblast, high polish and antique or matte.

etchedEtched Soft Enamel Lapel Pins - Your design is photo etched into a bronze base metal, creating thin and shallow recessed areas. Enamel colors are then injected into the areas, creating fine color-between-the-lines detail - not possible with other metal processed. An epoxy dome can be applied for added protection and a glossy effect.
stampedStamped Soft Enamel Lapel Pins - Your design is stamped into a copper base metal creating deep, recessed areas. Enamels are then injected into the areas about 3/4 full, achieving a dimensional effect of higher metal walls with your design. The enamels are well protected within the metal walls and can be left exposed for a 3D effect, or an epoxy dome can be applied for added protection and a glossy finish.
silkscreenSilkscreen Printed Lapel Pins are ideal for solid color design reproduction on a metal or enamel base. Colors are printed one at a time to create a sharp, 100% printed pin, or combination enamel pin with screen-printed images or text for added clarity. An epoxy dome may be applied for added durability.
offsetOffset Printed Lapel Pins are the perfect alternative when the enamel fill process is not compatible with your design, or when vivid high color impact is your goal. As in traditional printing, your design is separated into four colors - CMYK, enabling continuous tone color variations into your pin design. An epoxy dome is then applied for added durability.
Lapel Pin with Simulated Precious Stones - When your main objective is to professionally reward groups for outstanding achievements, your pins can be inlaid with a variety of simulated stones like Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, Garnet, etc. They are perfect for years of service awards or for a special fundraising effort. Simulated stones do not add much cost to your pin! Please call for details.
