FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About
Soft Enamel Pins

What are soft enamel pins?

Soft enamel pins are die struck out of iron, brass or copper metals. They are electroplated with a thin coating of gold, silver or coated with a dye color of your choosing. The raised and recessed aspects of soft enamel give them a unique 3D look and feel that many people like.

How to make soft enamel lapel pins

Soft enamel pins are usually made with recessed enamel. To make a soft enamel lapel pin, the recessed part of the lapel pin is coated with enamel paint and left to dry. Soft enamel lapel pins have a nonsmooth finish because the enamel stays lower than the rigid metal borders.

What is the difference between hard enamel and soft enamel pins?

A soft enamel lapel pin has a more textured feel, the colors are more visible and vibrant. Soft enamel lapel pins are known to be a cheaper option and the best part of soft enamel is you can still achieve great detail.

A hard enamel lapel pin on the other hand is baked rather than air dried and then polished smooth. This approach leaves the thin lines separating the enamel colors on hard enamel lapel pins flush with one another. The colors on hard enamel pins can darken a little due to the heat applied, but the result is a jewelry quality look and feel that ensures durability.

Which pantone book do I need for soft enamel pins?

When designing for your soft enamel lapel pin, colors are important, and your computer doesn’t always provide the best guide. Enamel pin colors are created from the pantone solid coded formula guide. This book has literally thousands of colors, and we understand most of you will not have any idea about this guide so just choose colors you like and we will match it to the correct pantone color.

Just remember colors look different under indoor light vs outdoor natural light - so keep that in mind.
