lapel pins

Enamel lapel pins are a premium way to showcase your brand, celebrate achievements, or create lasting keepsakes. Each custom design requires a unique mold, making enamel pins ideal for larger orders. They deliver a durable, high-quality finish that highlights detail and ensures long-term value. Perfect for schools, sports clubs, corporate programs, and promotional campaigns.

For smaller runs or faster turnaround, our stock metal resin lapel pins are a cost-effective alternative. Available in standard shapes and sizes, these pins can be produced in low quantities with short lead times while still offering a polished look.

SOFT ENAMEL VS HARD ENAMEL

When choosing custom enamel lapel pins, the main difference comes down to soft enamel and hard enamel finishes.

Soft enamel lapel pins have recessed areas in the design where the enamel is filled, leaving slight ridges of raised metal between the colours. This creates a textured feel and a vibrant look, making them a popular choice for detailed logos and designs. Soft enamel pins are also slightly more affordable, making them ideal for events, fundraisers, and promotional campaigns.

Hard enamel lapel pins are polished flat after the enamel is applied, giving a smooth, even surface with a premium finish. The colours appear sleek and glossy, and the pins are more durable against scratches and wear. They are often chosen for corporate branding, recognition programs, or high-end keepsakes.

Both options deliver a professional result—your choice depends on the style, feel, and budget you prefer.

QUICK LEADTIME - NO MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY

Our stock metal lapel pins are a practical and affordable option when you need smaller quantities with a fast turnaround. Unlike enamel lapel pins, which require a unique mold for each design, stock pins are available in a range of standard shapes and sizes. This means there are no mold or setup costs, making them ideal for short runs, trial campaigns, or one-off events.

Each pin is finished with a clear resin coating that protects the design while giving it a polished, professional look. The resin also adds durability, ensuring the pin holds up well with everyday wear.

With quick lead times and low minimum order requirements, stock metal lapel pins are the perfect solution for staff recognition, club or school events, fundraisers, and promotional giveaways. They deliver quality, value, and speed—without the commitment of larger orders.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I decide which type of lapel pin is right for my needs?

If you’re after a premium, long-lasting keepsake or want to highlight intricate detail, enamel pins (soft or hard) are the way to go. If speed, small quantities, or budget are the priority, stock resin pins are the smarter option.

Can I customise the design on my lapel pin?

Yes. With enamel pins, your design is completely custom with shapes, colours, and finishes made to order. Stock resin pins offer limited shapes and sizes but can still feature your logo or artwork printed and coated with resin.

How long does production usually take?

Enamel lapel pins generally take longer (approximately 4 weeks) because a custom mold needs to be created. If you’re on a tight timeline, stock resin pins are produced much faster and are the best option for urgent events or campaigns.

What occasions are lapel pins best suited for?

Lapel pins are versatile. They’re often used for staff recognition, sporting clubs, school achievements, corporate programs, fundraisers, or as part of promotional giveaways. They work equally well for one-off events or as part of an ongoing brand or recognition program.
