Years of Service Pins

On average, people spend 4.6 years with a company. Gone are the days when working men and women want to make their careers with the same company, which makes the employees that stick with you through thick and thin even more special. It’s for this reason, among others, that so many companies create years of service pins to celebrate their veteran team members and to boost morale.

Creating a Years Of Service Award Program With Custom Pins

If you already have a years of service award program in place, then you already know what types of custom lapel pins you need and how many of each you need. However, if you’re new to ordering custom years of service lapel pins, we can help you get everything you need for your years of service award program.

For starters, you need to know what anniversaries you want to celebrate with your employees. You could have a pin crafted for every anniversary year, or just for big milestones like 25 years, 40 years and 50 years.

It’s also important to know how many of each pin you need to buy. Chances are that a lot more people will be celebrating one year of service than there will be celebrating 50 years of service. We’ll help you order enough of each pin and find unique ways to differentiate the lapel pins representing various years of service with a company.

Custom Made Years of Service Pins for Your Team

First things first, what milestone anniversaries will you be celebrating with your team members?

We’ve noticed that a lot of companies start at the five-year mark, however, since the average time that workers are spending at the same job is only 4.6 years, it’s a good idea to start sooner. Three years of service pins are a good place to start, but why not start even sooner with one year of service?

Recognizing your employees for their hard work and loyalty boosts morale and helps your staff feel accepted and accomplished. Providing recognition awards earlier could lead to more of your team members wanting to stay past the average 4.6 years.

Whether you choose to start at one, three, five or even 10 years of service with your custom pins, the next thing to do is create a design. Most of the employee recognition pins we help design are centered around a company logo or an emblem that means something special to the team.

While the artwork is similar for most award pins, the design elements often change to reflect the degree of experience or level of achievement. For example, a lapel pin created to celebrate one year of service might be plated in high polish gold, while the corresponding design created to celebrate five years with the company is plated in antique gold and has a ruby red gemstone included in the design.

Gemstones are a popular design option included in a series of years of service lapel pins. The gemstones correspond to different levels in the years of service award program. Another popular option is to change the metal plating of the pins. We offer high polished and antique variations of copper, silver and gold plating, as well as black metal and iridescent metal plating.

Pricing and Presentation Options

Whether you need a set of pins for an employee of the moth program or an entire series of years of service pins, the cost of lapel pins is based on unit price or the price per pin in an order.

Unit price is based on the size of the pins you need and the number of pins you need to order. Upgrade options like gemstones, metal plating, cut outs and others will increase the price of your pins as well, so the best way to get an accurate pricing quote is to contact our sales team. We’ll prepare a free pricing quote for you based on the type of lapel pins you need.
