What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Your team name logo and event details are struck into the metal, not applied as a label
- Enamel colour is hand-filled and baked to resist chipping and fading during wear and storage
- Pendant style allows the pin to hang freely from a lanyard or ribbon, ideal for team uniforms and event badges
- One digital proof covers all pins in a run, so team colours and logos stay consistent across quantities
- Made in-house from your artwork, so revisions are handled directly by the team striking the die
Where It Is Used

Problems It Solves
- Stock pins carry generic designs and cannot show your team name or event logo
- Printed labels on pins peel or fade after repeated wear and washing
- Colour mismatch between orders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Pins that are too small or flat to hold detailed artwork without losing clarity
- Late changes to artwork that a supplier without in-house design cannot absorb quickly

- Choice of polished gold silver or antique plating on the same die for team variants
- Pendant style with a metal pin back and loop for attachment to lanyards or ribbons
- Optional epoxy dome over the face for added scratch resistance and shine
Materials

Use Guide
- Send vector artwork where possible so small lettering stays legible when struck
- Keep text above roughly two millimetres tall or it fills in during enamelling
- Decide on gold silver and bronze variants before proofing so one die covers all
- Order a few extra pins per team to cover replacements and damaged pieces
- Store pins in their bags until use to avoid fingerprints on plating
