How Soft Enamel Pins Are Made
We cut a steel mold from your artwork, die-cast the zinc alloy blank, deburr and polish it, then plate it. Each color is filled into the recessed areas by hand or by machine and baked before the next color goes in. Because the enamel sits below the metal lines, the lines stay crisp and raised – ideal for thin outlines, small text and antique finishes.
Design Tips
- Keep metal lines wide enough to separate colors; we flag any that are too thin at the artwork check.
- Merge similar shades into one Pantone to save a color step.
- Add an epoxy dome if you want a smooth surface without paying for hard enamel.

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
Can soft enamel pins have glitter or glow-in-the-dark colors?
Yes. Glitter and glow fill are special enamels and are treated as extra colors in the filling process.
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.
