Die-struck pins stand out as classy since they’re generally all gold or all silver in appearance. The best part about them is that they’re as affordable as soft enamel pins but can be perceived to be of much higher value.


The phrase “die struck” as a stand alone term generally implies no enamel is added. This means that they are all silver or all gold and only use the raised and recessed areas of a pin to create the desired design.
Die struck pins are the pinnacle of classic elegance. Created by stamping your design directly into high-quality metals like copper or brass, these pins rely on a striking contrast between raised and recessed surfaces to create a sophisticated, jewelry-quality look that gleams under any light.
Even without color, these pins offer incredible visual depth. Through processes like antiquing, sandblasting, or high-polishing with gold and silver electroplating, we can highlight every detail of your design, making it the perfect choice for academic achievements, corporate branding, or formal recognition.

One characteristic of most die struck lapel pins is the line separated color along the metal lines. You also need a pantone book to get the desired colors in a die struck lapel. All of these are not serious concerns as you get a beautiful result with a die struck. However, photo screen or digital prints are direct, recreating the design with every detail. How to make die struck pins
Yes you can add enamel to a diestruck pin. All enamel pins begin as die struck pins, then once the enamel is added they are referred to as either soft enamel or hard enamel.
No. Die struck pins can be plated any color you want. While gold and silver are the most common plating options, die struck pins can also be coated with blue, green, red, black or any color you desire. These are often referred to as dye colored pins.
Die struck pins are chosen for their timeless, jewelry-like elegance. By relying on the contrast between polished raised metal and recessed sandblasted or antique textures, they achieve a sophisticated look that "vibrant" colors sometimes can’t match. They are the industry standard for formal recognition, corporate awards, and high-end branding.
To ensure a high-quality finish and durable weight, die struck pins are typically stamped from thin sheets of iron, copper, or brass. Once the design is pressed into the metal, each pin is electroplated in gold, silver, or copper to give it a professional luster and prevent tarnishing over time.
