  • Q What is the difference between soft enamel, hard enamel, and printed pins?

    A

    Soft EnamelHard Enamel vs UV Printed Pin banner

    Soft enamel, hard enamel, and printed pins differ mainly in surface texture, durability, and design capability.

    • Soft enamel pins have raised metal lines and recessed color areas, creating a textured look with vibrant colors. They are affordable and widely used for promotional purposes.

    • Hard enamel pins have a completely smooth surface because the enamel is polished flush with the metal lines. They offer a more premium and durable finish.

    • Printed pins use UV printing to place the design directly on the metal surface, allowing complex images, gradients, and photo details that enamel pins cannot achieve.

    Choosing the right option depends on your design style, budget, and the level of detail required.

    Soft Enamel/Hard Enamel vs. UV Printed Pin, Which One Fits Your Design?

     
  • Q What are printed pins?

    A

    Printed pins, also known as UV printed pins, are created by printing the design directly onto the metal surface using UV printing technology.

    Unlike enamel pins, printed pins do not have raised or recessed metal lines. Instead, they allow complex artwork, gradients, and photo-quality images to be reproduced accurately.

    Printed pins are ideal for designs with fine details, multiple colors, or gradient effects that cannot be easily achieved with traditional enamel processes.

  • Q What are hard enamel pins?

    A

    Hard enamel pins are produced by filling enamel into recessed metal areas and then polishing the surface until the enamel and metal lines are perfectly level.

    This process creates a smooth and flat surface with a refined and polished appearance. Hard enamel pins are highly durable and resistant to scratches, giving them a premium look similar to jewelry.

    Because of their high-end finish, hard enamel pins are often used for corporate gifts, commemorative coins, and premium brand pins.

  • Q What are soft enamel pins?

    A

    Soft enamel pins are one of the most common types of custom pins. They are made by stamping metal to create recessed areas and then filling those areas with colored enamel.

    The metal lines remain raised while the enamel colors sit slightly lower, creating a textured surface with a clear dimensional effect. Soft enamel pins are known for their vibrant colors, detailed designs, and affordable pricing, making them a popular choice for promotional pins, event souvenirs, and fan merchandise.

  • Q What materials are used for your lapel pins?

    A Our lapel pins are typically made from zinc alloy, which is the most common and popular choice for durability and affordability. If you’re looking to save on budget, we also offer iron material, though it is less durable and can rust over time. For a more premium feel, we offer brass, which is heavier, has a higher quality texture, but is more expensive and has some limitations in enamel coloring.
