TO CHOOSE :

Cloisonne Our cloisonne pins continue the fine-art tradition of glass enameling started in China centuries ago-The pins are made from hand pouring powdered glass into the recesses of a die struck (stamped) brass base-The brass can be plated in gold, silver, or nickel-After being baked at a very high temperature, the glass enamel is sanded and polished to be flush with the metal lines that separate the colors-This gives the pins a smooth and lustrous quality

Epola pins are made using the same technique as the cloisonné, but the recessed spaces are filled with a hard epoxy enamel rather than glass-The epola filling gives a beautiful, high quality look similar to that of the cloisonné, but at a lower price and with PMS color options-Gold, silver or nickel plated

Struck soft enamel for a less expensive version of our epola pin that has the same look and PMS color options, try the die-struck soft enamel-With this style ,a softer enamel is painted into the recesses of the brass die-struck base, leaving a relief effect that lets you feel the die struck pattern-Gold, silver or nickel plated-Add a clear epoxy dome for long-lasting durability and a shiny, finished look

Die struck the basic die struck pin gives a classic dimensional look without adding color-It is made from either brass or steel that is stamped with the pin design and cut out-The metal base is then plated with gold, silver or nickel, and can be antiqued, sandblasted or simply polished

Screen printed the screen printed pin is an excellent choice for color pins with small details-Your artwork is perfectly reproduced onto a shaped metal base without the need for metal lines separating the PMS colors-Add a clear epoxy dome for durability and a shiny, finished look

Photo etched enamel your design is chemically etched into brass, creating recesses which are then filled with soft enamel-The etching process allows for high definition of lettering and design, with colors separated by metal lines-Gold, silver, or nickel plated-Clear epoxy finish available

Pewter /zinc alloy for a more three dimensional look we recommend using pewter or zinc alloy molded pins-Melted pewter or zinc alloy is poured into a mold created from your design-After it cools, the pin is polished smooth and plated-This method allows for very small detail and cut out lettering-Gold, silver or nickel plated

Steel enamel this pin has the same look of die struck soft enamel, but by using die struck steel for the base, we can create a pin that is less expensive and lighter

Coins and medallions coins and medallions have most of the options available in creating a lapel pin, but are made with either a thick die struck brass, or zinc alloy injection molding-A variety of enameling, metal plating, and sandblasting finishes can be used to give the coin or medallion its own unique and high quality look

Photo dome our photo dome option allows you to create a pin with an exact photographic replica of your artwork-This is an inexpensive solution for designs that require very detailed coloring-The artwork is printed on a sticker with an epoxy dome applied over the top, then applied to a plated metal base

Offset printing offset printing is best used for designs with detailed color gradations-We create the effect using a similar process to that of the photo dome pins, but with the design printed directly onto the metal base-The print is then covered with an epoxy dome for long lasting protection-Offset printing is typically used for large quantity orders due to the complexity of the process
