Create a Custom Lapel 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.

• 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.

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.
