I can't say enough good things about my purchase Leah was very helpful and responsive with my requests. This is my first time having my own design manufactured and it could not have gone smoother. From initial order to having real product in my hands was extremely fast and pain free and the quality was great.

What are the different types of pins?

GSJJ pins come in several styles and materials, including soft enamel pins, hard enamel pins, die struck pins, 3D molded pins, printed pins, acrylic pins, wood pins, and button pins. Each type offers different looks, durability levels, and cost ranges, making them suitable for various purposes such as branding, events, retail, and collectibles.

What is the most popular custom pin type?

Soft enamel pins and hard enamel pins are the most popular types of custom pins. Soft enamel is widely used for its bold colors and cost efficiency, while hard enamel is preferred for its smooth, premium, jewelry-like finish. Both are ideal for branding, merchandise, and promotional use.

Are acrylic pins better than enamel pins?

Acrylic pins and enamel pins serve different purposes. Acrylic pins are lightweight and ideal for full-color, complex, or illustrated designs, while enamel pins offer a more durable and premium metal finish. Neither is better overall—the best choice depends on your design style, budget, and intended use.

What is the difference between button pins and lapel pins?

Button pins are typically made from printed paper or plastic with a metal shell, making them lightweight and cost-effective for mass distribution. Lapel pins are usually made from metal and enamel, offering a more durable and premium appearance. Button pins are best for campaigns and events, while lapel pins are better for branding and long-term use.

What type of pin lasts the longest?

Die struck pins and hard enamel pins typically last the longest due to their solid metal construction and durable surface finish. These pins are resistant to wear, fading, and scratching, making them ideal for long-term branding, uniforms, and recognition awards.

Which custom pin is best for branding?

It depends on your specific branding goals:
▪ For Corporate & Premium Branding: Hard Enamel or Die-Struck metal pins. They scream "professionalism" and look stunning on suit jackets, lanyards, or employee uniforms.
▪ For Creative Merch & Retail Branding: Soft Enamel. It gives off a collectible, high-quality vibe that customers are happy to buy and pin onto backpacks or denim jackets.
▪ For Mass Events & Political Campaigns: Button Pins. They are incredibly cost-effective for ordering in quantities of thousands and can be produced very quickly.

Can I mix different types of pins in one custom order?

Yes. Depending on your project requirements, you can often combine different pin styles, materials, or finishes within the same order. For example, some customers choose acrylic pins for merchandise collections while using soft enamel or hard enamel pins for premium branding and recognition purposes.
This guide highlights a selection of custom pin types and materials to help you compare different options. For a complete overview of our custom pin styles, customization options, finishes, attachments, and specialty upgrades, explore our full range of Custom Pins.
