FAQ
Questions about custom pins and badges.
Can pins be developed from an existing logo or character?
Yes. Existing logos, characters, artwork, landmark references and event identities can be adapted into suitable pin or badge formats for the intended audience and use.
What is the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel pins?
Soft enamel pins have recessed enamel areas and a textured feel, while hard enamel pins are filled and polished to create a smoother surface. The best direction depends on the artwork, detail and intended finish.
Can one pin design be developed in several merchandise formats?
Yes. A pin concept can be coordinated with magnets, keychains, coins, acrylic products, plush or gift sets so the wider collection shares the same visual language.
Can you help with backing cards and retail packaging?
Yes. We can help develop backing cards, sleeves, boxes, sets and other presentation directions suited to retail, gifting, events or collection building.
Are small and medium-sized projects possible?
Project requirements depend on the pin format, construction and packaging, but the development process can be discussed around the intended quantity, budget and launch plan.
What should we send to start a custom pin project?
You can start with a logo, artwork, character, landmark or event concept, reference images, target products, estimated quantity or a wider merchandise brief.
