Custom Lapel Pins by Sienna Pacific – Custom Made Logo Pins

The first step in picking the style for your lapel pins is deciding what your needs are. Once this has been established, then it’s time to pick out the best pin for your needs.

Since there are many different options for a pin; Cloisonné, Die Struck Hard or Soft Enamel, Photo Etched etc, it’s best to read the descriptions below to get a better understanding of which pin is will be a perfect fit for you.

Don’t hesitate to call or email us with any questions you might have. We often help guide our customers through the order process and deliver the Custom Pins they always wanted.

What’s the Right Size for My Pin?

The right size for your metal pin will vary according to the use you will give it.
For example,  custom lapel pins that will be worn on nice formal suits and that will resemble a piece of jewelry, a size between 3/4″ and 1″ will be just right.
Secondly, pins that are given to volunteers, and are supposed to make an impact, stand out, can be between 1″ and 1 1/4″.
Finally, trading pins are almost in a category of its own. They need to be flashy and get lots of attention, so anything from 1 1/4″ and 2 1/2″ is fair game.

How Do You Manufacture My Pins?

For almost all of our pin styles, we use the die-struck method: we manufacture a die and we then strike the design into the base metal, which is then colored, plated, and polished. Die-struck process works great for designs that are 2-dimensional and pins having a flat base.
3D Casting is also an option, and it is mostly used for pins that have a three dimensional quality to them, and pins with cut-outs.

Where are our pins made?

We work with overseas factories for best pin maker quality and as close to factory direct prices but if you must have Made in USA manufacturing, we can also source those for you.

How Long Will It Take For My Pins To Be Made?

Most die-struck lapel pins are made within 3 weeks of ordering and 3D Cast pins will take a little longer (3d sculpting is a delicate process). We can try and rush production of your pins but we offer no guarantees.

What’s Your minimum order quantity?

We have a soft 100 minimum pin ordering policy. This is the minimum quantity we offer with great pin pricing. If you need less than 100, we can accommodate your order but the price per pin will increase substantially.

Can you help me design my pins?

Yes! Once you approve your fast quote, please send your Sales Team member know the elements / colors / size / text you want in your pin, and our design team will send you a digital proof, with unlimited revisions. Or if you prefer to design it yourself, just send us the .ai or .eps file and we will turn it into a digital print proof.

How Can I Customize My Pins?

We can help you create a custom lapel pin order for an extra fee using the following methods:

• Engraving: The most common use of engraving is numbering the pins, used mostly for those considering their pin for collectors.
• Printing: We can silk-screen any message on a hard enamel surface, which makes it a great way to create a customized years of service pin.

What material will my pins be made out of?

The material a pin is made out of will determine the perceived value they will have to the person that will wear it, and it will also influence the amount of detail that will be possible to achieve.

• The most common material used by lapel pin manufacturers is brass/bronze: It is malleable enough that will be able to accomplish enough detail to make your highly detailed logo look great, and it has a nice weigh to it. Therefore, we recommend it for almost any art designed, and for logo, award, employee recognition pins.
• The second option is iron: It is slightly less malleable than brass so the amount of detail it can accomplish is slightly less, it is lighter in weight, therefore it is recommended for those occasions where the budget is tight, and the pins will be used as a promotional token, or a giveaway. They are the only choice when the pin is used as a hat pin, golf ball marker or as an insert to any other accessory where a magnetic material is a must.
• Aluminum is often used for offset printed pins: They are used as a blank base where the printing will occur, colors hold on to it nicely. They are light in weight. If you need your printed pin to have some weight, we can use bronze and add epoxy coating to it.
• Stainless Steel: Used for those occasions when you need your pin to be hypoallergenic, mostly used in costume jewelry.

What plating options do I have?

What About Colors, PMS Matching and more?

The way we add color to your pin depends on the type of pin you are ordering.

• For a die-struck pin, we can use either soft enamel or hard enamel colors. We use PMS Color Matching.
• Printed pins can be made by spot printing the color into the metal. We match your PMS colors. For 4-color process, the standard is CMYK colors.

How Can I Attach My Pins

When there is a need, there is a way! We offer a wide variety of attachments that will turn your pin into almost anything you want.

Here is 5 ways you can attach your pins to your clothing:

1. Pin it to your jacket, hat, vest or backpack using a butterfly, deluxe or rubber clutch (for extra protection)
2. Pin it with a Safety Pin: Let’s secure that baby in place! Great for attaching to clothing, for instance in the medical field.
3. Stick it on! Adhesive backing works great for applications to solid non-porous materials that will not be washed or removed.
4. Magnetic Lapel Pins: When you really do not want to poke a hole in your item, and adhesive will not make the cut, you can take advantage of using our Promotional Iron Pins which will look great and it will bring the magnetic properties of iron to your lapel pin, so you can easily stick it to any magnetic surface.
   You can also make your custom lapel pins magnetic, by gluing a magnet to the back of any pin, instead of a clutch, voila, you have created a magnetic enamel pin!
