Create a Custom Lapel Pin

Design your pin

Use a program like Procreate or Adobe Illustrator to create a vector design and we’ll work with you to make it pin-ready.

When designing, keep these tips in mind:

  • Keep it simple. Start with basic features to avoid high production costs.
  • Use closed shapes. Ensure all areas with different colors are fully enclosed, as the plating forms the boundaries.
  • Limit your colors. Each additional color adds to the cost, so try to stick with a unified palette.
  • Standardize your shades. For instance, use the same shade of red throughout your design instead of varying tones.

Provide production details

  • Name of your design
  • Size (1 inch is standard)
  • Quantity
  • Pantone Solid Coated colors (used for precise color matching)
  • Logo back stamp (optional)
  • Special features such as screen printing, & cutouts. You can read more about Pin Styles & Effects here.

Choose the Best Lapel Pin Maker

When it comes to enamel pin creation, having the right partner is crucial. A lot of manufactures are automated and do not review details with their customers, leading to mistakes, imperfections and low quality products. Be careful of sites that require a file upload without speaking to a real person.

The cheaper the quote, the cheaper the product. Pins can break and chip so the cheapest manufacturer might not be the best option for your customers.

We collaborate with you directly to ensure your design turns out just right and take pride in offering top quality at reasonable prices!

  • Mock-up of your design with production details for your approval.
  • Photos of effects or finishes if you’re unsure of the terminology.
  • Expertise to guide you through any uncertainties.
