Corporate Team Building Using Custom Business Pins
Creating a Custom Corporate Award Pin for Your Team
Team building is an important part of creating a successful business. Team building leads to employee engagement, and employee engagement leads to heightened productivity.
There are all kinds of team-building strategies out there, but custom lapel pins are one of the most popular. Here at Signature Pins, we’ve had the pleasure of working with organizations that reach for the stars, like NASA, all the way down to local family-owned businesses.
No matter the size of a company, custom business pins can be used in a few important ways to build camaraderie and loyalty.
We make creating lapel pins easy!
But we would prefer you hear it directly from other customers 😉
Team Building With Different Types of Custom Business Lapel Pins
The two main types of business pins we make are employee recognition pins and special corporate event pins. There is some overlap between the two because the main purpose of creating business pins is to reward your staff and show appreciation for their hard work.
Whether you’re looking for a set of custom corporate pins that celebrate milestone achievements or custom business pins that recognize employee anniversaries, we’re here to help.
Creating a custom business pin might seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quick and easy. And once you have the pin, you’re ready to make a difference among your employees. Here’s how you do it.
Building an Employee Appreciation Program With Custom Business Pins
If you want to encourage camaraderie and build teamwork in your staff, you need to focus on building employee engagement. A great way to engage your staff is to make sure that they feel appreciated for all of their efforts.
There are all kinds of ways to use employee appreciation pins, and the most popular is years of service pins.
A years of service program is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a set of custom business pins who wants to engage their team and build teamwork and camaraderie. The criteria for earning a pin is uniform across the entire company, so you don’t have to worry about establishing a reward program for top sales, employee of the month or anything like that (although those are excellent options as well).
Most of our customers order a series of custom business pins for their years of service programs. Separate designs are created for each year of service that the company wants to recognize usually starting at one year and going all the way through 50 years.
Once your employees reach a work anniversary, you award them with one of the custom corporate pins. Showing appreciation for staff in subtle ways like this lets your team know that they matter and encourages them to invest more in the team.
We offer more than just years of service pins. We can make any type of custom business pin that you can imagine. Some of the employee appreciation pins we help design are created for special events and training seminars.
Awarding your team with custom lapel pins for milestone achievements, during the holidays or at other special events is a great way to build teamwork by boosting morale and reminding your team that all of their hard work is making a difference.

How to Get Started on a Custom Business Pin Design of Your Own
The first step is deciding what type of lapel pin you need. The most popular business lapel pins that we manufacture are die struck pins, soft enamel pins and cloisonne pins (also called hard enamel pins). We can also make offset printed pins and silkscreen pins.
Soft enamel and cloisonne pins have colorful artwork, while die struck pins retain the look of polished metal. If you want to create a custom corporate lapel pin that includes brand logos and emblems, choosing a soft enamel pin design or a cloisonne pin design is the best way to go.
We use Pantone colors in all of our artwork. If your business pins need a specific set of colors to represent your brand, just let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
Color is an important part of any custom business pin design. However, it’s also important to consider how you plan on using your pins. Think about what type of metal plating will look best with your design, and think about how you can accentuate the design with things like cut outs and glitter enamel.
As long as you have an idea for your design, you have enough to get started. We can help you choose the best shape, size and custom options for the design. If you like, we have a custom pin design template that you can download and use to sketch out your ideas.
