When most people think of a lapel pin, they’re
picturing a
soft enamel
design of some kind. We have other types of custom
pins available to choose from, but soft enamel is definitely the most common type you’ll find. The layered
artwork and colorful designs are perfect for bringing any kind of idea to life with classic style. Whether
you need a set of logo pins, trading pins or any other type of pin, our soft enamel pins are sure to help
you make a lasting impression
Bare metal die struck pins and smooth cloisonne pins are excellent options, but the
layered artwork and colorful detail of our soft enamel pins is hard to beat. To ensure colors don’t bleed
together, the enamel paint is only added to the recessed portions of a design, using the raised lines of the
artwork as a metal border. This is how most custom enamel pins are made. Hard
Enamel pins are made in a similar but slightly different process.
The Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is one of the most famous tournaments in all of Golf. These soft enamel pins were created in celebration of the event.

Custom Pin Customer Reviews
Custom Lapel Pin Designs Crafted to Perfection
No two pins are ever the same just as no two customers are ever the same. Our Signature Pins team specializes
in making high-quality custom designs, so all of the soft enamel pins you see on our website are examples of
products made for our past clients. With years of experience working with customers from every walk of life
imaginable, we’ve come to realize that there’s limitless potential for new and interesting ideas. If you and
your team need a one of a kind design, we’re here to help.
How Are Custom Soft Enamel Lapel Pins Made?
All of our custom soft enamel pins start out as a design idea. Our art team creates original artwork based on
the ideas sent in by our customers, and once the design is finalized, our production team takes over. A custom
mold is used to stamp artwork into sheets of iron, brass or copper. The clear impression of the design are
removed from the sheet and deburred before the metal plating and enamel process can begin.
We offer several different options for metal plating, each one having a distinctive appearance that will
change how people interact with your design. Choosing high polish plating is a great way to add to the
perceived value of a custom lapel pin, and our antique plating options create a unique, rustic appearance that
is sure to help your design stand out from the rest.
The enamel process takes place after the plating process. Colored enamel is added to the recessed portions of
the design, and the raised metal lines of the artwork make sure that the enamel doesn’t spill into other
portions of the pin.
Our production team can add up to seven different enamel colors at no extra cost to create any kind of design
you need. Soft enamel pins are a popular choice for groups looking to recreate team logos and emblems with
precise accuracy and vivid detail, but the potential for new design ideas is limitless.
Hard Enamel vs Soft Enamel Pins
Customers are always asking us to describe the difference between hard and soft enamel pins, and we’re always
happy to help. Enamel is the paint used to add color to any kind of lapel pin design. For soft enamel pins,
the color is added to the recessed portions of the artwork. The raised metal lines of the design act as a
border between colorfill areas so that the enamel paints don’t bleed together. Hard enamel pins, also called
cloisonne pins, have a different kind of enamel. It’s a
powdered, glass-like resin that’s added to the recessed portions of a design and filled to an even level with
the raised surface of a pin.
If you run your finger across the surface of a soft enamel pin, you will feel the texture of the raised
portions of metal above the enamel colorfill. Hard enamel pins have a smooth, polished surface since the paint
is at an even level with the top of the pin. So, not only can you see the difference between hard and soft
enamel pins, but you can also feel the difference. If you aren’t sure what kind of custom enamel pins will
work best for your design, just let us know, and our team will be happy to help.
Custom Lapel Pin Pricing
All of the orders that come through Signature Pins are based on unit price. There are a number of different
things that affect unit price like size, shape, metal plating and attachment options for the back of each pin,
but the table below serves as a general rule of thumb when it comes to the price of custom lapel pins.
Something like a soft enamel keychain will be more expensive than a soft enamel pin design with a regular
butterfly clutch attachment. Pins with magnetic backing or cufflink attachments are also a little more
expensive, however butterfly clutches and rubber clutches can be included at no additional cost.
We’re honest and upfront with our pricing, and there are no hidden fees tacked on during the design process.
Every order comes with free quotes, artwork, unlimited revisions and overnight shipping, so you don’t have to
worry about any surprise charges once you finalize an order.
