What You Get and Who Orders It

- Made in-house from your approved artwork, so revisions are handled directly by the production team

- School administrators distributing achievement badges across multiple grades

Problems It Solves
- Stock pins have generic designs that do not reflect your brand or event
- Printed labels on pins peel or fade after handling and storage
- Colour mismatch between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Inconsistent attachment types across a batch cause loose or missing pins
- Late design changes cannot be absorbed by suppliers without in-house production
Technical Features

- Soft enamel fill leaves the metal edges proud of the colour for a tactile finish
- Choice of polished gold silver or antique plating on the same die
- Standard pin back with rubber clutch or safety pin option available
- 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 gold silver bronze or antique finish
- Metal pin back with rubber clutch or safety pin
Quality Control
- First pin 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 star shape including five-pointed six-pointed or custom star silhouettes
- Your logo text or event name struck into the face
- Gold silver and antique variants from one die
- Optional epoxy dome glitter enamel or antique wash finishes
- Reverse side left blank or fitted for engraving
- Pin back type chosen per order (rubber clutch or safety pin)
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 finish and pin back type before proofing to avoid delays
- Order a few extra pins per order to cover damage or lost pieces
- Store pins in their bags until use to avoid fingerprints on plating
