Custom Enamel Pins Manufacturing – Hard & Soft Enamel, Free Samples FAQs
Q1: What is the difference between hard enamel and soft enamel pins? Hard enamel pins have a smooth, polished surface where enamel is filled and polished to create a seamless, glass-like finish, making them more durable and high-end. Soft enamel pins, on the other hand, have raised metal outlines with enamel filling, giving a textured, classic look, often at a lower cost. Both styles can be customized extensively but differ mainly in surface finish and tactile feel.
Q2: How do I choose between hard and soft enamel for my pins? Your choice depends on your aesthetic preference, budget, and intended use. Hard enamel is ideal for premium branding, collectibles, and items requiring a smooth, durable surface. Soft enamel suits fashion accessories, promotional giveaways, or casual branding where a textured appearance is acceptable. Consider your design complexity, budget, and durability needs.
Q3: Can I customize the shape and size of my enamel pins? Absolutely. We offer custom shapes, including freeform, die-cut, and standard geometric shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles. Sizes can range from as small as 0.5 inches to 3 inches or bigger based on your design specifications. We also provide die-struck or laser-cut options for extreme customization.
Q4: What are the typical lead times for manufacturing custom enamel pins? Standard lead time is approximately 3-4 weeks from design approval to delivery, including sample creation, production, and quality control. For urgent orders, expedited services can be arranged, often reducing the timeline to 1-2 weeks at a premium.
Q5: Are free samples available before placing a bulk order? Yes, we offer free samples based on your design and requirements. This allows you to assess quality, color, finish, and overall craftsmanship before committing to a larger order. Sample shipping costs may be applicable depending on your location.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity for custom enamel pins? Our minimum order quantity is flexible, starting at just 50 pieces. This makes it accessible for small-scale projects, limited editions, or marketing campaigns. Larger quantities benefit from bulk pricing.
