Problems It Solves
- Stock heart pins carry generic designs and cannot include personal names or messages
- Printed labels on pins peel or fade after a few weeks of wear
- Colour mismatch between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Flat printed pins lack the tactile quality and perceived value of metal pins
- Late changes to text or layout are difficult when working with suppliers who do not offer in-house proofing
Technical Features
- Die struck relief so fine lines and small text remain legible at small sizes
- Soft enamel fill leaves the metal edges proud of the colour for a textured finish
- Choice of polished silver gold or antique plating on the same die for gift sets
- Attachment options include standard safety pin or swivel clasp for secure wear
- Optional epoxy dome over the face for extra scratch resistance and shine
Materials
- Zinc alloy or brass body depending on relief depth
- Baked soft enamel colour
- Electroplated silver gold bronze or antique finish
- Standard safety pin or swivel clasp attachment
Quality Control
- First pin sample checked against the approved proof before the run continues
- Plating colour compared against the retained reference piece from your previous order
- Enamel checked for pinholes overfill and colour match under daylight lamps
- Each pin bagged individually so faces do not rub in transit
- Count verified against the packing list before the carton is sealed
Customisation Options
- Any heart shape including variations like double hearts or heart outlines
- Custom text names or dates struck into the face
- Multiple finish options (silver gold antique) from one die
- Epoxy dome glitter enamel or antique wash finishes available
- Reverse side left blank or struck with a logo or fitted for engraving
- Multiple colour combinations within one order
Use Guide
- Send vector artwork where possible so small text and fine lines stay sharp
- Keep text above roughly two millimetres tall or it may fill in during enamelling
- Decide on finish options (silver gold antique) before proofing so one die covers all
- Order a few extra pins per order to cover losses or damaged pieces
- Store pins in their bags until use to avoid fingerprints on plating
