How Hard Enamel Is Finished
- Zinc alloy is die-cast into blanks, then deburred and polished.
- Each color is filled by hand or by machine, overfilled above the metal lines, and baked. Repeat for every color.
- The whole face is ground flat until the metal lines reappear as clean lines.
- The face is polished to a gloss.
- The pin is plated after grinding, so the plating covers the metal lines and edge.
- Backing, inspection and packing.
Design Notes
- Very thin lines can widen slightly during grinding; we flag fine detail at the artwork check.
- Color after polishing is slightly deeper than the raw fill, so we match to the finished sample.
- Antique plating looks different on hard enamel, because there is no recess for the dark tone.

Good to know
- Every order starts with a free digital proof.
- Production starts only after you approve the proof and sample.
- Molds are kept 1 year for matching reorders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Soft or hard enamel – which should I choose?
Hard enamel gives a flat, glossy, jewelry-like face and suits pins worn every day. Soft enamel shows crisp thin lines and small text and costs less. 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.
