Below are explanations in detail of the types of pins we offer. We tried to not overload you with too much info, so if you have any other questions or are ready to start your pin order you can send us an email.
Send us your art or have us design/illustrate something for you. Existing art needs to be vectorized, but most quality files can be done by us with no extra charge. Not sure if your file’s good to go? Just email it to us and ask!
Pick the enamel colors you want with a Pantone/PMS guide. PMS numbers ensure you get the right colors. If you don’t know, we’ll pick the closest, but it’s always best to pick them yourself.
Psychos, that’s who. Just like with our shirts, our enamel pin prices include everything you need for standard pins. And shipping’s free too! Prices elsewhere may seem lower till you factor in fees for art time, creation of the molds, shipping… Adds up! Call, text or email if the info below doesn’t cover what you need or if it’s overwhelming. It can be, but we can help.

Textured, Economical, Design Flexibility
The feeling of this pin has a more defined texture because of the two distinctive heights. This makes for a great feel and contrast – giving the pin a more approachable quality – OG if you will. The pins do wear over time because of their soft nature. Although they are not soft to the touch, they are sustainable to scratches and life over time. This is a great quality if you are looking to achieve a more indie feel. If colors and design flexibility is the end goal – you’ve found your product mi amigos!
Hard enamel has a lustrous and heftier weight than soft enamel. The perceived value adds an impression of superior quality and luxury. At the end of the day - it's that shine and smooth texture that leaves a lasting impression of the elevation of the pin. Hard enamel just screams luxury and elegance. The hard enamel does not front - they take longer to make and the costs will follow. But if you are looking for top shelf & shelf life - you found your match!
