What You Get and Who Orders It

Problems It Solves
- Stock pins carry generic designs that cannot show your event name or district identity
- Printed or adhesive pins peel or fade after a few weeks of wear
- Colour mismatch between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Weak pin backs that break or lose tension after repeated use
- Late design changes that a supplier without in-house artwork support cannot absorb

- Hand enamel filling and baking to ensure colour durability and depth

Use Guide
