What People Say About us
Custom Lapel Pin Styles: Enamel, Die Struck, and Printed Options
Enamel lapel pins are the most popular choice, available in soft enamel (textured, vibrant, cost-effective) and hard enamel (smooth, polished, jewelry-grade). They are ideal when your design features your brand colors and needs to make a bold visual statement on a jacket, lanyard, or bag.
Die struck lapel pins use no color. Your design is pressed directly into solid metal, producing an elegant 3D relief with a classic, understated feel. Available in gold, silver, and bronze finishes, they are the top choice for formal recognition and heritage organizations. Printed lapel pins handle full-color artwork, gradients, and photographs that enamel cannot reproduce, sealed under a protective epoxy dome for lasting quality.
B2B Custom Lapel Pins: Trade Shows, Executive Wear, and Employee Awards
A well-designed lapel pin transforms your logo into a sophisticated, wearable asset. Distribute branded company pins at trade shows and conferences for a premium takeaway that stays on a jacket or bag for months, generating continuous brand visibility at zero additional cost per impression.
Employee recognition programs gain tangible impact with custom lapel pins. Award them for years of service milestones, safety achievements, sales performance, and new hire onboarding. The physical weight and craftsmanship of a well-made pin communicates genuine appreciation far more effectively than a certificate or email. HR directors and event planners rely on us for consistent quality and on-time delivery across multi-year award programs.
How to Design Custom Lapel Pins: Free Artwork Assistance and Pantone Matching
Start by submitting your logo, sketch, or concept. Our design team produces a detailed digital proof showing the exact layout, colors, plating, and dimensions of your lapel pin at no cost. You will have the opportunity to adjust every element, including shape, size (typically 0.75″ to 1.5″), metal finish, enamel colors, and backing type (butterfly clutch, rubber, or magnetic).
We use the Pantone Matching System to guarantee your brand colors are reproduced with precision. Once you approve the final proof, production begins in our USA facility. The entire process is designed to be fast, transparent, and collaborative.
Bulk and Small-Order Custom Lapel Pins at Competitive Prices
We offer flexible ordering to match any project scope. Need 50 executive pins for a leadership retreat? Or 5,000 branded pins for a national conference? Both receive the same quality, attention, and competitive wholesale pricing. Volume discounts are applied automatically, and every quote includes tooling, design help, and Pantone matching with no hidden fees.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lapel pin, and how is it different from an enamel pin?
A lapel pin is any small pin designed to be worn on clothing, typically on the lapel of a jacket. “Enamel pin” refers specifically to a lapel pin made using the enamel filling process. In other words, enamel pins are a type of lapel pin. Lapel pins can also be die struck (all metal) or printed (full-color photo process).
Can I order custom lapel pins with no minimum quantity?
Yes. We welcome orders of all sizes, from a single custom lapel pin to large bulk runs of thousands. Pricing is based on quantity, style, and size, with volume discounts applied automatically for larger orders.
What backing options are available for custom lapel pins?
We offer several backing styles: butterfly clutch (standard), rubber clutch (secure and easy to use), deluxe clutch (locking), magnetic backing (fabric-safe, no holes), safety pin, and stick pin. Your project manager will recommend the best option based on your intended use.
How do I choose the right lapel pin style for a corporate gift program?
For executive and VIP gifts, hard enamel or die struck pins deliver the highest perceived value. For large-scale employee programs, soft enamel offers premium quality at a lower per-unit cost. Our team will help you select the style, finish, and packaging that match your program’s budget and presentation goals.
