Photo Etched Lapel Pins are the most
popular lapel pins used for Baseball Trading Pins, Softball Trading Pins
and other Sports Trading Pins.
Photo etched lapel pins offer a similar look to cloisonné lapel
pins but are less expensive. The photo etched process allows for more
detailed designs and a wider spectrum of colors to choose from.
A computer etches your design onto
a brass plate. The design is then filled with the colored enamels of your
choice. The Photo Etched lapel pins are fired in a kiln to ensure durability
and high quality.

How Are Photo Etched Lapel Pins Made?
An image of your design is transferred from a photographic negative
onto the surface of the metal. Your design is then etched into the brass
using an acid-reaction process. All the acids and other impurities are
carefully rinsed off. The indentations are then filled with the enamel
colors. Colors are inserted by hand, one at a time, using different
sized syringes. The sheet of metal is then fired at 450°F for 12
to 15 minutes. Pins are then cut out of the sheet according to your
custom design. Non-colored (raised) sections of the lapel pins are then
plated to a shiny gold finish. The final result is a smooth finish with
the brass highly polished. An optional epoxy protective coating (dome)
can then be applied to protect the color enamels from fading or cracking
over time.
All lapel pins are inspected twice before delivery: once at the factory,
and again by our sales staff before shipping.
