What Types of Custom Pins Do You Offer?
Lapel Pins Plus specializes in custom-manufactured lapel pins built with die-struck metal construction — the same process used for military challenge coins. Every pin we make features raised metal borders and your choice of plating finish, giving you a product that looks and feels premium.
We offer four distinct pin styles, each suited to different design needs:
Soft Enamel Pins
Our most popular option, custom soft enamel pins feature color-filled recessed areas between raised metal lines. The slight texture difference between the metal and enamel gives these pins a dimensional, hand-crafted look that people love. Soft enamel works beautifully for detailed designs with multiple colors — up to 7 colors are included at no extra charge.
Hard Enamel (Cloisonné) Pins
Hard enamel pins are polished completely flat after the enamel is applied, creating a smooth, jewelry-quality surface. If you want a sleek, high-end finish with no texture difference between the metal and color, hard enamel is the way to go. These are ideal for corporate wear, awards, and any situation where you want a refined presentation.
Die Struck Pins
For a classic, all-metal look, die struck pins use no color at all. The design is created entirely through raised and recessed metal, with sandblasted areas adding contrast. These are popular for military, government, and formal recognition programs where an understated, elegant appearance matters most.
Cloisonné Pins
Cloisonné pins represent the highest tier of pin manufacturing. Using a traditional jewelry-making technique, these pins deliver exceptionally vibrant colors with a glass-like, perfectly smooth finish. They're the premium choice when quality is the top priority.
