Why Choose Soft Enamel Pins?
The industry standard for trading, collecting, and promotional branding.
Distinctive 3D Texture
It’s all about the topography. The raised metal borders and recessed enamel layers create a physical depth you can actually feel. This dimensional look gives the pin a traditional, authentic character that collectors love.
Vibrant Visual Impact
The metal lines act as a clear border, keeping colors separated and sharp. This natural separation creates high contrast and vibrant details, making them the top choice for sports team trading pins and bold artistic designs.
Cost-Effective Production
You don't have to sacrifice quality for quantity. Soft enamel offers a premium metal aesthetic at a lower entry price, making it the smartest solution for large-scale fundraisers, event giveaways, and retail collections.

Die-struck precision meets vibrant color. Here is how we create that signature textured finish.
01
Die-Stamping
It starts with a strike. We create a custom mold from your artwork and stamp it into the metal base. This creates the raised metal walls that will define your design lines.
The Foundation02
Electroplating
Next, the raw metal gets its shine. We plate the entire pin in Gold, Silver, or Black Dye. Since this happens before painting, the raised metal lines remain sharp and metallic.
Defining the Lines03
Enamel Filling
Artisans inject liquid enamel colors into the recessed areas. The paint settles below the metal walls, creating that classic dimensional look you can feel.
Recessed Colors04
Baking & Curing
Finally, we bake the pins to cure and harden the enamel. Unlike Hard Enamel, we skip the polishing to preserve the distinct, raised metal lines and texture.
Textured FinishThe Result: A vibrant, durable pin with a tactile surface you just want to touch.
