Soft Enamel lapel pin have the enamel placed in the recess of the stamped pins and when baked leave a nice dip which raises the metal above the enamel.

The process to create Die Struck Lapel Pins begins with the creation of a custom die of your lapel pin design. Then a sheet of copper, brass, or iron is stamped using the die, which creates a deep impression of your design in the metal. Cut-to-shape molds are made separately and used to stamp out the pin design impressions in the outline of the finished design. Plating the pins comes next. For this type of pin, the most common plating is high polished gold, nickel (silver), black nickel, and copper.

An epoxy dome is a clear plastic coating that can be added to soft enamel, photo etched, silkscreen, and off set printed style lapel pins. By adding this item to a product, it provides a lustrous shine and protects your design from damage. An epoxy dome is an option not a requirement.  For soft enamel style lapel pins, it is an option or personal preference if you would like it applied or not.

Now more and more lapel pins are detailed and some even has gradient ramp. Normal enamel colors can’t make it perfectly as design. But printing can do that! We use UV printing and pad printings to make lapel pins more vivid and delicate.
