Along with soft enamel pins these are our most popular pins types. They are inexpensive
and look great! Bolder designs are recommended as the pin is actually "etched" onto brass and then cut-out.
There will be a 0.3mm border around the outside.

How these pins are made:
STEP 1 Transferring
An image of the design is transferred from a photographic negative onto the metal surface through a sensitization process STEP 2 Etching
An acid reaction process is then carried out to form the design indentation. STEP 3 Rinsing
Acids and impurities are then washed off. STEP 4 Colouring
Soft enamel is carefully inserted by hand, one colour at a time, using different sized syringes. Drying. To prevent defects, a high degree of skill is required in order to keep each colour and the correct amount of enamel in the proper area. STEP 5 Baking
The metal piece is baked at approximately 450F for 12 to15 minutes. STEP 6 Polishing
After the metal board has cooled, the surface is finished by stoning with a carborundum stone until all excess colour has been polished away. STEP 7 Outline Cutting
Cut the metal board in rows. Cut individual designs in custom outlines ( min. metal outline thickness: 0.8mm ). STEP 8 Attachment
Solder attachment onto the back of each piece. STEP 9 Plating
Plating now can be processed. The quality of plating varies with the length of time the metal is soaked in the plating liquid. STEP 10 Epoxy Coating
Clear epoxy is then applied to the surface to protect the enamel from colour fading and cracking. ( Epoxy coating is optional and provided according to customer's requirements) STEP 11 Inspection & Packing
All items are strictly inspected before delivery. Customer's satisfaction is guaranteed.
