Soft Enamel Lapel Pins

Soft Enamel Pins are made by first cutting a die in the image of your design. Your image is stamped on the sheet of iron or copper. Copper is a softer metal and allows a sharper image at a slightly higher cost than iron. Cutting molds are made separately, and the pins are cut out to the outline of the design shape. Plating is done next. The indentations are then filled with the enamel colors. Colors are inserted by hand, one at a time, using different sized syringes. Excess colors are wiped off the raised metal surfaces. The pins are then fired at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes. An optional epoxy protective coating (dome) can then be applied to protect the color enamels from fading or cracking over time.

Each each pin is inspected to ensure only the highest quality is individually packaged and sent to us for final inspection. All pins are inspected twice before delivery - once at the factory, and again by our support and sales staff before shipping to the client.
