Custom Pins
Custom pins put your artwork, logo, or idea on display wherever they are worn — lapels, hats, ties, bags, and more. We offer many in-house options right here in the USA and work with production partners to expand our specialty offerings. Design and modeling stay under our direct control in all cases, from classic 2D layouts to highly detailed 3D relief. Orders start at just 20 pieces.

Every pin starts with your artwork, logo, or idea. On cast orders the shape is left to you, and we do our best to match the shape and specifications you're after wherever feasible. Custom design services, 2D and 3D relief modeling, and specialty finishes are all part of the process.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom pins?
Our minimum order for custom cast pins is 20 pieces, and we comfortably handle orders up to several thousand. Orders of 100 pieces or more qualify for waived mold and artwork fees.
How do pins attach?
Each pin has a post on the back secured by a clutch. A butterfly clutch comes standard, a locking clutch is available as a premium option, and double-clutch configurations are possible for extra security.
What finishes are available?
Our standard finish is an antique finish in brass, silver, or copper color. Specialty options include a wide range of metal plating finishes with your choice of bright or antique patina, color enamel fill, UV printing, and sandblasted textures.
Is the instant estimate my final price?
The instant estimate is a preliminary figure. We review every submission personally and follow up with an official quote, along with any questions or suggestions for your order.
How long does production take?
Typical production is about 3–4 weeks from final approval, depending on the project. Orders needed sooner may be subject to rush fees determined by our current workload and shipping costs, though we do our best to avoid them.
Are there tooling or design charges?
Mold and artwork fees are waived on orders of 100 pieces or more. On smaller orders they may apply depending on the project, and are always included in your quote up front, so there are no surprise charges after the fact. Exact reorders of a previous design typically don't require an additional mold charge.
