The "Jewelry" of Pins

Unlike soft enamel which has ridges you can feel, hard enamel is polished flat until it feels like a smooth coin. We fill the metal lines with enamel, fire them at high heat, and then polish the entire surface until it is perfectly level with the metal edges.

  • Premium Feel: The smooth surface reflects light beautifully, giving it a high-value look.
  • Durability: Because it's polished flat, the enamel is less likely to scratch or chip.
  • Classic Look: This is the standard style used for official corporate pins and high-end merchandise.
  • Product Type: Die-Struck Hard Enamel (Epola).
  • Finish: Smooth, flat, and polished surface.
  • Material: Iron or Zinc Alloy base.
  • Plating Options: Gold, Silver, Black Nickel, Rose Gold, etc.
  • Colors: Pantone (PMS) Solid Coated matching.
  • Minimum Order: 30 pieces.
  • Attachments: Butterfly Clutch, Rubber Clutch, or Magnet.

Simple Process

  1. Submit your design: Vector files (.AI, .PDF) are best, but high-res PNGs work too.
  2. Proof Approval: We will create a digital mockup showing exactly how the metal lines and colors will look.
  3. Production: Once approved, production typically takes 10–15 business days.
  4. Delivery: We ship via Priority Air (3–5 days).

The Hard Enamel Process

A multi-step craft that transforms raw metal into a polished masterpiece.

01
Die-struck metal mold for custom hard enamel pins

Die Stamping

It starts with a custom mold. We strike your design into a solid copper or iron base to create the distinct raised metal lines that will define your artwork.

The Foundation
02
Filling colored enamel paint and high-heat baking process

Color Filling

Artisans hand-fill the recesses with enamel paste. We apply multiple layers and bake them at extremely high temperatures to cure and harden the color.

Cured at High Heat
03
Grinding and polishing hard enamel pins for smooth surface

Stone Polishing

This is what makes it "Hard Enamel." We grind the surface down until the color and metal are perfectly flush, creating that signature smooth, flat finish.

04
Electroplating gold finish on polished hard enamel pins

Electroplating

Finally, we plate the polished pin in your chosen finish (Gold, Silver, etc.). This makes the exposed metal lines pop against the smooth enamel.

The Final Shine

Result: A jewelry-quality pin that feels perfectly smooth to the touch.
