Political Lapel Pins
Political lapel pins remain one of the most effective ways to show affiliation at a rally or a fundraiser. A well-made pin travels from jacket to briefcase and stays in circulation long after the speeches end. We produce them to order at our family-run shop from any artwork or idea you supply.
Pantone matching is standard. Popular sizes range from 0.75 to 1.25 inches. The standard butterfly clutch works for most needs, though magnet, safety pin, military clutch, and other backs are available at the same price. Custom shapes such as a state outline or logo silhouette carry no premium over a round pin of identical diameter. Once approved, your artwork and colors stay on file for exact reorders.
Campaign Pins for Candidates, PACs, and Supporters
A county party committee, a women’s club, a union local, or an individual backer places the majority of these orders. The candidate rarely buys their own. Supporters commission pins to sell at fundraisers or hand out at rallies, and those designs often carry a lighter touch than anything the candidate would wear. One yellow round soft enamel pin featuring a handshake and party initials was made for a mayoral race. A Republican Women’s Club chapter pin used a red heart on silver.
Fundraiser pieces sell because the candidate does not have to pin them on. Soft enamel remains the everyday choice. It delivers recessed color with a textured surface, and up to seven colors cost nothing extra. Offset printed pins handle gradients and fine photo detail where soft enamel would lose clarity.
Flag pins pair naturally here. The same standards apply to military pins and nonprofit pins.
Pins for People in Office and Those Who Run Elections
Mayors, county clerks, court staff, election workers, and governors’ offices order pins that project quiet authority. A mayor’s office crest rendered in gold with a four-part coat of arms came through our shop, as did a county clerk and state court system seal in gold and navy on a lanyard. So did a full-color county election worker pin marking the nation’s 250th anniversary with the Capitol and the Statue of Liberty.
Die struck pins give the classic all-metal look favored for official seals and awards. Gold or silver plating, sometimes with an antique finish, creates the formal appearance government offices prefer. A gold US-map-shaped die struck pin for a professional association’s PAC carried the Capitol dome and the year. An all-silver Governors Awards pin featured an engraved number. These pieces outlast printed buttons and do not fade.
Soft enamel pins add color that reads from across a room. Cloisonné pins deliver the polished jewelry finish reserved for the highest recognition.
Thank-You Pins for Staff and Volunteers
After election night the real work of saying thank you begins. Staff and volunteers who logged long hours receive pins that acknowledge their effort. A simple design with national colors or a personal message travels from one cycle to the next. Because artwork stays on file, the next run matches without new proofing.
Reorders benefit from that continuity. People keep pins that carry a specific year or milestone more often than generic designs. A date makes the object a keepsake rather than disposable swag.

Political Pin FAQs
Politicians most often wear custom soft enamel or die struck pins. Common designs include American flag pins, party seals, office crests, and cause ribbons. A die struck seal outlasts a printed button by years and never chips or fades. Most of the pins you see on candidates and staff come from shops like ours rather than off-the-shelf stock.

The proof process lets every detail be reviewed and revised before production begins, so supporters can raise funds independently while the candidate’s own pins stay simple and official.
