Why there is a minimum order
From 100 pcs per design. Unit price drops significantly at 500 pcs and again at 1,000+ pcs.
Route 1: New design, 100 pieces
This is the standard route. You send artwork, we proof it, cut a mold, and run 100 or more. You own the design. The mold stays on file for reorders. Details on process and finishes are on the custom enamel pins page.
Route 2: Reorder, 100 pieces
Reorders reuse the mold at no extra charge; molds are kept for 1 year. Reorders follow the same quantity tiers.
Picking the route
| Your priority | What we'd suggest | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Your own artwork, no compromise | Route 1: new mold, 100 pcs per design | Highest total spend; mold charge on first run |
| Test before committing | One design at 100 pcs first, then more designs | Two orders, two lead times |
| Several small designs | Different designs can't be combined to reach the minimum. | Colors can be mixed within one design. |
| Recurring small needs | One 100-pc run, hold stock, reorder at 100 | Storage on your side |
Things that do not lower the minimum
- Colors can be mixed within one design. Different designs can't be combined to reach the minimum.
- Changing only the text on an existing design. New text is a new mold.
Things that do help
- Colors can be mixed within one design. Different designs can't be combined to reach the minimum.
- Ordering for the year. If you need 200 now and 300 in six months, one run of 500 with the second batch held is cheaper than two orders.
