	Pins are an ideal way to creatively express your organizations identity or to compliment a patch design. Crafted and custom made to your specifications. Great for Identification / Security, Presentation Gifts, Awards, Special Events, or for many other uses .
	There are many different types of manufacturing styles to choose from. Some of the more traditional methods are Cloisonné, Soft Enamel, Photo Etch & Silk Screen. For a basic introduction to these various methods, please read the following:

Cloisonné Pins

The most traditional method used and generally more expensive than other styles of pins. All the colors painted on pins must be kiln fired at extremely high temperatures in order to achieve a molten consistency and then allowed to cool off at normal temperature. Because of the complicated procedures, additional work and time needed to manufacture these pins, they cost more, but the cloisonné pin is the most valuable souvenir for a collection.

Soft Enamel Pins

Prices for the Soft Enamel pins are less expensive than hard enamel and are fast becoming the most popular choice for those seeking to have pins made. It is ideal for those designs requiring a thinner metal border or outline. Since soft enamel colors can be mixed to create hundreds of pantone colors and the raised metal parts can be polished, it is a highly recommended method for souvenir pins.

Photo Etched Pins

A very economical, light weight and attractive pin. A good choice for larger size pins. It is not advised for pins requiring a fine lines, thin borders or sharp edges. A clear epoxy cover should be considered.

Silk Screen Pins

Silkscreen printing is the best way to obtain 100% accurate reproductions of complicated graphics, colors schemes, halftones and gradient colors. These pins require a clear epoxy cover to protect the finish. Since the cost for the mold is much higher than with traditional pins, the silk screen pins are definitely your best choice for large quantity purchases.
