These pins are die struck meaning a
hard steel die presses the design into the pin. These stamped pins are excellent for those designs which
require a little more detail and a thin border around the outside. Along with photo-etched pins these are our
most popular pins types.

How these pins are made:
STEP 1 Stamping Molding
A steel die is carved from the black and white art. The pins are then stamped out. STEP 2 Outline Cutting
Cutting molds are made separately, then cut to the exact outline of the design. Additional outline cutting molds may be required depending on the complexity of the design. If a center hole or cut-out is required, an additional cut-through mold must be used. STEP 3 Attachment
Solder attachment onto the back of each piece. STEP 4 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 5 Polishing
The metal surface is then polished until it is smooth and shiny. This applies to copper material only. Iron can be polished if required, but this will incur a surcharge. STEP 6 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 7 Cleaning
Excess colour and impurities are then wiped off the metal surfaces. STEP 8 Baking
The metal piece is baked at approximately 450F for12 to 15 minutes. STEP 9 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 10 Inspection & Packing
All items are strictly inspected before delivery. Customer's satisfaction is guaranteed!
