Soft Enamel Pins
Soft enamel pins are the most popular type of custom lapel pin. Colored enamel is filled into the recessed areas of a die-cast or stamped metal base and baked, so the metal outlines stay raised above the color. The result is a textured, dimensional pin with bright colors and crisp lines, at a lower cost than hard enamel.
Hesank makes custom soft enamel pins in zinc alloy, iron and brass, with gold, silver, black nickel, rose gold or antique plating, glitter, glow-in-the-dark and an optional clear epoxy dome for a smooth surface. They are ideal for company logos, events, clubs, fundraisers and retail merchandise. Need a flat, polished finish instead?
