A pin with your artwork

Enamel pins

An enamel pin is a small metal badge with colour in it. People put them on a bag, a jacket, or a hat. You send the artwork, we make a picture of the pin, and you approve it before we make the real ones. People also say lapel pins or pin badges. You can order enamel pins from us, or ask for a quote.

In short

  • You send the artwork. We make a picture of the pin, you check it, and then we make the real ones.
  • People also say lapel pins or pin badges. For a custom pin, it is the same thing.
  • Soft enamel has colour that sits a little lower. Hard enamel is smooth and glossy. Metal is the design pressed into the metal, in gold, silver, bronze, or an antique finish.
  • The price depends on the size, the colours, and how many you need. You can see that when you order, or we can send you a quote.

What they go on

People pin them on a bag, a jacket, a hat, or a lanyard. A band, a school, a club, or a brand will order a run so everyone has the same pin. They are a keepable leftover after a festival or a conference, not a band you put on a wrist.

If you already have artwork, send the file. If you only have a sketch, send that and we will help you get it ready. We ship across Australia from Melbourne.

Soft, hard, or metal

The artwork is the same job. The finish is what changes.

FAQs

What are enamel pins used for?+
People pin them on a bag, a jacket, or a hat. Brands and clubs order them as merch, or as a leftover people keep after an event. They are not a wristband, and they are not how you check tickets.
Where is the best place to buy enamel pins?+
You can order them from us. Send the artwork and we will quote. If you would rather talk through the design first, ask us for a quote.
Why are enamel pins so expensive?+
The price depends on the size, how many colours are in the design, and how many you order. A small run of a detailed pin costs more per pin than a large run of a simple one. You will see that when you order, or we can send you a quote.
What is the best enamel pin?+
It depends on the look you want. Hard enamel is smooth and glossy. Soft enamel leaves the colour a little lower than the metal. Metal is for a gold, silver, bronze, or antique finish without the colour fill.
