Types of Metal Lapel Pins

A Metal Lapel Pin is a decorative object that is attached to the lapel of a jacket or shirt. They are often used to recognize members of a company or organization, raise awareness about a cause, or to give away as prizes in contests.

Custom cloisonne lapel pins are made using a technique that is thousands of years old. This method creates a stunning enamel lapel pin that combines color and design to make a unique and beautiful piece of jewelry.

The most common type of lapel pin is a die struck lapel pin. These are created by creating a mold and striking the metal with a die. This creates a recessed area for your desired design. The outlines of the design and any cutouts are then filled with a powdered glass-like mixture. These are baked in high heat to keep the colors separate and brilliancy.

The back of the pin should state the name and address of the manufacturer, a date, or the organization for which the pin was created. They can also be stamped with a dedication, AP (Artists Proof), or special markings depending on the design.

Choosing the right shape for your pin design is crucial to creating a successful pin. A round or square Lapel Pin can accommodate a wide range of designs, but custom shapes allow more room for upgradable options like 3D artwork and gemstones that will really make your pin stand out from the rest.

There are many different types of metal plating to choose from, including high polish gold and silver, iridescent plating that shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow, and colored metals like white powder coated steel that will brighten up any piece of artwork. Each type of plating works with a particular kind of artwork and will give your pins a more customized look, but it's important to choose the right option for your design.
