Pin making, explained

What Are Enamel Pins and How Are They Made?

In simple words

Enamel pins are small metal badges filled with colored enamel. They are also called lapel pins and can show a logo, symbol, message, character, or event design. A clutch on the back holds the pin to clothing, bags, hats, or display boards.

What makes up an enamel pin?

Metal base
The shaped metal body carries the design and gives the pin its weight.
Raised metal lines
Thin metal lines separate colors and keep small design areas clear.
Enamel color
Colored enamel fills the recessed spaces inside the metal design.
Pin and clutch
A post and clutch secure the finished lapel pin to its chosen surface.

From artwork to finished pin

How custom enamel pins are made

  1. Prepare the artwork

    The design is adjusted for the pin size, metal lines, and enamel color areas.

  2. Form the metal base

    The pin shape and design are pressed or cast into metal to create raised and recessed areas.

  3. Apply the plating

    The exposed metal receives its selected finish, such as gold, silver, or black nickel.

  4. Fill the enamel colors

    Each recessed color area is filled carefully and then cured to set the enamel.

  5. Finish and inspect

    The surface is cleaned or polished, the rear attachment is added, and the pin is checked.

Choose the surface

Soft enamel or hard enamel?

Soft enamel pins

The color sits below the raised metal lines, so the surface has a noticeable texture.

Hard enamel pins

The enamel is filled and polished level with the metal lines, creating a smooth surface.

Both styles use a metal base, enamel colors, plating, and a rear attachment. The main difference is how the front surface feels.
