What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Team name jersey number and mascot are struck into the pin rather than applied as a label
- Soft enamel fill is baked to resist chipping and fading during handling and storage
- Pin is made to your artwork so every detail including the event year and sponsor is accurate
- One digital proof covers the entire order so all pins in a batch stay visually consistent
- Produced in-house so revisions are handled directly by the team striking the die
Where It Is Used

- League organisers distributing custom trading pins to players after a season or event
- Parent committees creating keepsake pins for players who participated in a regional tournament
- Team coaches using pins as rewards for individual achievements or attendance
- Trading pin collectors building a set of event-specific pins from different youth leagues

Problems It Solves
- Stock pins from general retailers carry generic designs and cannot show your team name or event year
- Printed labels on pins peel or fade after repeated wear and exposure to moisture
- Colour mismatch between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Pins that look assembled from parts because the pin and backing don’t match the design
- Late changes to team names or jersey numbers that a supplier without in-house design cannot absorb

- Choice of polished gold silver or antique plating on the same die for team variants
- Standard pin back with friction clutch for secure attachment to uniforms or bags
- Optional epoxy dome over the face for extra scratch resistance and visual depth
Materials
- Zinc alloy or brass pin body depending on relief depth

Customisation Options

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 three
- Order a few spares per team to cover ties and damaged pieces
- Store pins in their bags until distribution to avoid fingerprints on plating
