Photo Etched Lapel Pins
are the most popular choice for Corporate Advertising Lapel Pins and Sports Trading Pins. Photo Etched Lapel Pins have a very high-perceived value without the cost. A wider shiny edge metal creates a dramatic effect to the artwork and bright colors used in making a Photo Etched Pin. Because of the lighter base metal and weight of the Photo Etched Process, Seperate Dangler Pins can be added to a main top pin. Glitter Paint can also be applied over the pin for an added distictive touch.

• Metal Choice in Gold, Silver and Smokey Black Dyed
• Glitter Paint and Seperate Dangler Pins can be added for a more dramatic effect

Silk Screened Lapel Pins
are similar to Silk Screen Printed T-Shirts and Posters. When the metal outline of the Die Struck Soft Enamel or Photo Etched Lapel Pins cannot be done without loosing the integrity of the artwork, or is not wanted, the image is "printed" onto the pin with a shiny metal edging similar to a Photo Etched Pin, and then a clear epoxy finish is added to protect the pin.

• Used when the gold outline between each color in a pin is not desired or not able to be done
• Frequently used for corporate lapel pins and sports trading pins
• Metal Choice in Gold and Silver
• Moderate Production Time

Photo Dome Lapel Pins
are used when it is imperative to retain the integrity of artwork that uses gradiant colors, image backdrops and detailed artwork specifications. Photo Dome Lapel Pins are created by printing your high quality photo image onto a pin base and then sealing it with an epoxy dome finish. The pin is then an exact replication of your artwork or photo.

• Used when the thin metal outline between each color and text is not desired, or a photo, or gradiant artwork is supplied
• Metal Choice in Gold and Silver
• Moderate Production Time

Economy Lapel Pins
are Die Struck Soft Enamel Pins that use a more cost-effective Iron Base Metal. After the artwork mold is made, it is used to "strike" the pin design from the base metal. The process is then the same as a Soft Enamel Pin. The base metal is coated with the Gold Metal, Silver Metal or Black Smokey Died Metal in its entirety. Then color is applied to the recessed portion of the pin and the raised portion of the pin is polished to a high glow. Epoxy Finish can still be added for a polished effect.

• Most cost effective choice for give-a-way advertising pins and sports trading pins
• Metal Choice in Gold, Silver and Black Smokey Metal
• Quick Production Time - Rush Orders Available
• Less expensive than Soft Enamel Lapel Pins
