Something About Die Struck Enamel Pin

Custom die struck lapel pins have a jewelry-like look. This style of pin can be made in any shape or size. The process to create Die Struck Lapel Pins begins with a custom die made from your design. We double strike each design into a solid piece of metal. High-levels of relief can be added to your design. Then a sheet of copper, brass, or iron is stamped using the die, which creates a deep impression of your design in the metal. Cut-to-shape molds are made separately and used to stamp out the pin design impressions in the outline of the finished design. We stamp our pins into bronze, brass, copper or iron metal. Striking a logo into metal creates a recessed area where the enamel is added. In some cases, recessed areas are sandblasted to create a two-tone metal finish. Each design is plated and color filled or recessed areas can be sandblasted. We hand polish our lapel pins leaving raised area shiny. Recessed areas can either be antiqued or can be shiny.

Traditionally, the raised metal surfaces are then highly polished to a luster finish, while the recessed areas are sandblasted to create a contrast. Some of the most popular plating is our antique plating. The antiquing can be done subtly, for a matte finish, or more heavily, for a more rustic patina. Choosing to antique your pins is an inexpensive way to increase perceived value and to make the design details, especially the minute ones, really stand out. Where a high polished pin’s brilliant surface may cause glare and illegibility issues outside or in a bright room, an antiqued pin will keep even fine text and imagery highly legible. An even more unique option is the incorporation of dual plating to your design. Combinations of plating can be used to make the most salient design details stand out, while still painting the classic all-metal appeal of a Die Struck pin. 

The difference between shiny finishes and antique finishes is the plating that is used. The most common plating is high polished gold, nickel (silver), black nickel, and copper. Antique plating can be made with lighter or darker finish. The best feature of this pin style is it can be made with a 3D die. Three-dimensional dies can enhance a design by creating a sculpted look. Options include engraving, gemstones, and upgraded attachment like deluxe clutches. We also offer real gold plating for anyone looking to have a jewelry-like finish. Die struck lapel pins are elegant and can be made in any size or shape. Our 2D designs can include varied levels of metal and textures.

How much do you know about SOFT ENAMEL PINS?

Soft enamel lapel pins are die struck from sheet metal, creating recessed areas that are then filled with vivid soft enamel color. The price for Soft enamel pin is usually cheaper than hard enamel andimitation hard enamel pins. Soft enamel gives a pin an embossed look as the recessed areas are partly filled using a syringe. The pins are then baked at 360 degrees until the enamel is cured. The entire die struck soft enamel pins will be polished before coloring, thus the metal parts revealed will be shiny. The raised metal areas of a design are plated in gold, silver or copper. Soft enamel pins can have a thin layer of epoxy added for a smooth surface feel. Adding epoxy adds a layer of protection to your lapel pin design and makes them smooth to the touch, similar to our hard enamel pin style. Epoxy covering is optional.

Custom enamel pins are made using soft or hard enamel. If you like the look of 3D pins with color, we suggest soft enamel. It is an ideal material for 3D cubic designs or designs requiring fine details. 3D designs can still have an embossed feel. Gemstones can be added to any custom shape pin design. We can add as many gemstones to a lapel pin as there are no limits to a number of stones we can add to your design; we can even mix and match gemstone colors. We also have a variety of backing options.

What is hard enamel pins?

Hard enamel pins are long lasting and durable with a very high quality appearance. The craft is a multi-step enamel process used to produce jewelry, vases, and other decorative items. For hard enamel, the enamel is added before the plating. The enamel powder is added and then stone-polished flat to the same level as the metal die lines. Each color must be baked in the oven one by one which adds to the process and cost. Once all the colors have been added then the badge can be electroplated and polished again to complete the badge. The numerous polishing processes is why the badge can achieve slightly less detail than soft enamel and why some of the metal lines are likely to spread in production and be thicker than the original design. Our hard enamel process is a modern process of the traditional hard enamel process and the main difference between our hard enamels is the actual enamel.
