A soft enamel pin is a die struck metal pin whose recessed areas are filled with colored enamel paint, leaving the raised lines of the artwork standing above the color. Run a finger across the face and you can feel that texture — it is the quickest way to tell soft enamel from hard enamel, where the color is filled level with the metal and polished flat.
Soft enamel is the most common style of custom lapel pin. It holds fine detail, takes up to seven enamel colors at no extra charge, and costs less than the same design made in hard enamel.
