Why buyers choose soft enamel pins
Flexible visual style
Soft enamel works well for bold illustrations, mascots, lettering and designs that benefit from clear metal separation.
Practical small-batch testing
A 100-piece run can help a buyer test demand before expanding quantities or adding more colorways.
Quotation checklist
Specification points that affect the quotation
| Specification | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Size and shape | Overall width, height and cut-out areas | Size affects material, mold complexity and how small details reproduce. |
| Metal and plating | Gold, silver, black nickel, copper or antique direction | Plating changes contrast and should match the artwork and use case. |
| Color count | Pantone references and separated enamel areas | More colors and very small fills can increase production handling. |
| Attachment | Butterfly clutch, rubber clutch, safety pin or other suitable option | Post position and attachment affect balance, comfort and packaging. |
| Packaging | Polybag, backing card or presentation option | Packaging dimensions and printing should be quoted with the pin. |
Before production
Artwork and digital proof review
Vector artwork is preferred, but a clear logo, sketch or high-resolution image can be reviewed. The production proof should identify the finished size, metal outlines, color boundaries, plating, front and back, post position and any printed detail.
Check narrow gaps and tiny isolated color areas before approval. A design that looks clean on a large screen may need slightly wider metal lines when reduced to a small pin. The objective is not to change the artwork style, but to make the approved design practical for manufacturing.
Quantity strategy
Planning 100, 250 or 500 pieces
| Quantity | Typical planning use | Buyer focus |
|---|---|---|
| 100 pieces | New artist drop, club test, small event or sample market | Keep packaging simple and confirm the design carefully because mold cost is spread across fewer pieces. |
| 250 pieces | Established small brand, member program or multi-event use | Balance unit cost, spare stock and packaging presentation. |
| 500 pieces | Promotional campaign, retailer test or larger event | Confirm carton packing, delivery date and whether units need individual cards or labels. |

Can I add an epoxy coating?

Can you make custom backing cards?
Yes, backing card dimensions, printing, hole placement and packing method can be quoted with the pin order.
What artwork should I send?
AI, EPS, SVG or editable PDF is preferred. A clear PNG, logo or sketch can also be reviewed.
Will I receive a digital proof?
