Custom Pin Styles
Below is a brief introduction
to the various pin qualities and styles
available on the market today. If you are
still unsure as to what pin quality or style
would best suit your design, our trained
staff can easily assist you in making the
right decision.
We recommend these different types of pins:
|
This is the most popular style pin on the
market today. Manufacturers refer to EPOLA
as “Misty' Cloisonné,” “Resin Cloisonné,”
“Imitation Cloisonné,” or “Hard Enamel.”
Regardless of the name, Resin EPOLA is the
highest quality pin available, and can be
characterized by the fact that there are
thin metal lines separating each color of
your pin. Epola is a resin-based color
powder that is heated at 800 to 900 degrees
to create a bright, smooth, hard enamel
finish. EPOLA pins are color matched using
the
PMS color
chart,
which means there are thousands of
colors
available for you to choose from.

A Cloisonné
style pin can be characterized as having a
glass-like quality to it. The high luster
and durability of Cloisonné style pin is an
ancient art that requires meticulous
hand-crafted detailing. Your custom designed
pin is hand-filled with colored cloisonné
pastes and then kiln-fired at very high
temperatures. After firing, each pin is
hand-polished and plated resulting in an
exquisite piece of jewelry. |

These pins offer
brilliant color and fine, raised metal
detailing. The recessed areas of your custom
designed pin are hand-enameled and then
kiln-fired. Each pin is hand-polished and
then plated. The end result is a truly
outstanding product at a very affordable
price. Soft enamel pins can also be coated
with a protective layer of epoxy for an even
more durable finish. |

Fine detailing and high-quality finishing gives these pins a "jewelry-quality" appearance and high perceived value–without the high cost. The appearance of your custom die-struck pin is characterized by matte-surfaced backgrounds with raised-relief areas that have been highly polished. Pins can also be antique finished. |

Each design is
laser printed and then applied to a lapel
pin blank. A very thin Epoxy Coat protects the color material from scratching. Ideal for designs that have fine detail, photos or color gradations. |
