At a Hammond magnet school in Louisiana, Salvatore Bennelli (10) is being penalized for ordering the wrong sized lapel pin. When students were instructed to design a new lapel pin for members of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, (NAACP) during Black History Month, the lapel pins’ size schematics were lost in translation. Instead of the lapel pin turning out to be four centimeters in size, the final product was almost 4 feet tall.

As it turns out, when Mr. Bennelli placed the lapel pin order, the confusion began with the lapel pins’ dimensions. Since the lapel pins manufacturer was based in Juarez, Mexico, there was an apparent communication breakdown. Between the language barrier and metric conversion, it was a recipe for a lapel pin disaster.
Meanwhile, Salvatore Bennelli is paying restitution, staying after class to balance the school boards’ accounts. Rosana Levesque, a designer for lapel pins wholesaler, Sienna Pacific advises two smart strategies to prevent being penalized for producing the wrong lapel pin:
Order lapel pins from a company that provides a mock-up of the final product. For instance, Sienna Pacific, a leading lapel pins’ wholesalers emails a mock up of the order and confirmation prior to the final production of any lapel pin.
Opt for a lapel pin company, who warrants exceptional customer services. Unlike many other lapel pins’ wholesalers that make customers do all the follow up grunt-work, Sienna Pacific takes pride producing the highest quality of lapel pins.
