Soft Enamel or Hard Enamel?
Both start the same way: your artwork becomes a steel mold, zinc alloy is die-cast into blanks, and every color is filled by hand or by machine. The difference is the finish. Soft enamel leaves the color slightly below the raised metal lines, so you can feel the design – it costs less and shows thin lines and antique plating well. Hard enamel is overfilled, ground flat and polished, for a smooth, jewelry-like face that wears well on a lapel every day.
Not sure which suits your artwork? Send it with your quantity and we will quote both side by side. See also Soft Enamel vs Hard Enamel Pins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soft or hard enamel – which should I choose?
Soft enamel has a textured surface with recessed color and costs less; hard enamel is polished flat for a smooth, premium finish. We can quote both side by side.
What is the minimum order?
From 100 pcs per design. Unit price drops significantly at 500 pcs and again at 1,000+ pcs, so tell us your quantity range and we will quote the options side by side.
How long does it take?
A digital proof within 2 working days of receiving your artwork, a physical sample in 10–14 working days (add 7 working days if we create the design), and mass production in 30–60 days depending on quantity and finish. Rush orders can be produced in as little as 10–15 days – tell us your date first.
Can you ship DDP, with duties paid?
Yes. We can ship DDP door-to-door: import duties and taxes are included in your quote, so there is nothing to pay on delivery. FOB and EXW are also available.
Is there a mold fee?
Each new design needs a one-time mold, listed clearly in your quote. Molds are kept for 1 year and reorders of the same design reuse them at no extra charge.
I don't have artwork yet. Can you help?
Yes. Send a sketch or idea and our team prepares the design (add 7 working days to the sample time). The digital proof is free.
Can you pack for Amazon FBA?
Yes. OPP bags with your barcode labels, backing cards or gift boxes, with FBA-ready labeling and cartons, or packed to your own warehouse requirements.
Are your pins suitable for children?
If your pins are for children under 12, tell us in the quote form. We arrange third-party CPSIA testing for that order and include the cost in your quotation. Pins for children under 12 do not use magnetic backs.
