Custom Soft Enamel Pins

The main difference is the surface finish and production process.

Soft Enamel Pins: Have a textured surface with raised metal edges and recessed color areas. More affordable and suitable for detailed designs.Hard Enamel Pins: The enamel is polished flat, creating a smooth and glossy surface. They are more durable and have a premium, jewelry-like finish.

Both types are made using similar metal stamping processes, but hard enamel requires additional polishing steps, making it more time-consuming and expensive.

Soft enamel pins are usually crafted from high-quality metal such as iron, brass, or zinc alloy. The raised metal areas are plated, while the recessed areas are filled with enamel paint, creating a textured look and durable finish.

Of course, you can add epoxy dome on the soft enamel lapel pins. Epoxy dome can protect your enamel pins and add a touch of shine. Adding epoxy dome will be charged at an extra fee.

No, we offer unlimited colors for free. Whether your design has 2 colors or 10, there is no extra charge. But Custom enamel pins have some limitations in terms of structural color: 
· No Gradient or Color Blending – Traditional soft enamel and hard enamel pins use individual enamel colors, so smooth gradients, shadows, or blended color transitions cannot be reproduced directly. Each color area must be a solid color.
· Metal Lines Are Required – Different enamel colors must be separated by raised metal borders (also called die lines or metal walls). These metal outlines prevent colors from mixing during production and help define the details of the design.

Notes: We use the Pantone Matching System to ensure 100% color accuracy. You can provide your specific Pantone codes, or our designers can match them for you for free.

Your artworks belong to you, and we would only use them for your orders. Your designs and molds won't be available or sold to other clients in the future. No one can order your designs or incorporate your elements into their designs.
