Choosing a Plating

The plating selection for your custom enamel pins is extremely important. It can change the whole look of the pin and take it from classic Americana to modern and edgy. Most custom corporate pins feature our traditional metallic platings of gold, silver, or copper. 

For pin designs with light paint colors or lots of text, we recommend going with the antique versions of these metallic platings to enhance legibility. Modern designs frequently utilized our colored metal finishes though. The most popular is our black metal finish, which makes for a striking lapel pin that features very bold lines.
