Project Overview
The pin was created for a client from the Witchxing Studio and is a perfect example of how HIPINS brings art and craftsmanship together. The characters on the pin are carefully designed with vibrant UV printing and hard enamel techniques. The raised gold metal plating adds a premium look and feel, giving it a sophisticated finish.
Materials and Techniques
- Hard Enamel + UV Printing:
The pin uses hard enamel as its primary material, known for its durable, glossy finish. This is paired with UV printing, allowing for detailed, vibrant designs that truly pop. The UV printing method is particularly effective for capturing fine details, such as the intricate facial expressions and clothing textures seen in this piece.
- Gold Plating:
The pin features a raised gold metal plating, which adds dimension and richness to the design. The gold finish complements the UV print and enhances the overall aesthetic, ensuring the pin stands out.
- Rubber Clutches:
To ensure comfort and safety when worn, this pin comes with rubber clutches. These provide a secure grip while being gentle on clothing, making it ideal for both casual and formal wear.
- Size:
At 3.5 inches in height, this is a larger, eye-catching pin that is perfect for showcasing detailed artwork. Its size makes it a statement piece while remaining practical for wear on jackets, bags, or other accessories.
- Packaging:
For safe delivery, the pin is packaged in a PVC bag with a bubble wrap insert, ensuring it reaches the customer in perfect condition. This packaging method also highlights the professionalism and care HIPINS puts into every order.
The Design Process
Creating a custom pin involves a careful process of design refinement, material selection, and production techniques. For this project, the design was initially crafted by Witchxing Studio and then fine-tuned with HIPINS’ team to ensure the final product was exactly what the client envisioned. The design underwent multiple iterations to perfect the UV print colors and the gold metal finish.
The UV printing process allows for incredible detail on the design, capturing small highlights, shadows, and textures that wouldn’t be possible with traditional methods. This ensures that every small detail, from the character’s clothing patterns to their expressions, stands out in vibrant color. UV printing is also more durable, resisting fading or peeling over time.
Customer Feedback
Our client, Witchxing Studio, was thrilled with the result, expressing appreciation for the high level of detail and the rich, bold colors. The raised gold metal finish gave the pin a luxurious feel, while the UV printing ensured that the artwork was perfectly captured. The combination of hard enamel and UV printing made this pin a stand-out piece that will surely delight collectors and fans of the studio’s work.
The pin was designed for fans who appreciate not only the artwork but also the craftsmanship behind each pin. It’s not just a collectible item; it’s a piece of art meant to be worn and admired.
FAQ
- What is the difference between hard enamel and soft enamel?
Hard enamel pins have a smooth, glossy finish where the enamel is polished to a flat, hard surface. Soft enamel, on the other hand, has a raised texture that is more tactile and is generally more cost-effective. The hard enamel finish provides a more durable, glossy appearance, making it ideal for high-quality designs like this one.
- Why is UV printing used in custom pins?
UV printing is used because it allows for detailed and vibrant designs that are durable and resistant to fading. It is particularly useful for achieving sharp details, which is essential for artwork that includes intricate features or small elements.
- What is the benefit of raised metal in a pin design?
Raised metal, like the gold plating used in this pin, adds dimension and a more premium look to the pin. It creates depth and makes the design visually striking, giving it a high-quality feel. The raised metal areas are also often plated to further enhance their visual appeal.
- Are rubber clutches secure enough for pins?
Yes, rubber clutches are widely used in the pin industry and offer a secure fit while being gentle on clothing. They prevent the pin from slipping off while providing a soft grip to avoid damaging your clothes.
- Can I get a custom pin in different sizes or shapes?
Absolutely! At HIPINS, we can create custom pins in any size or shape you desire. Whether it’s a small, intricate design or a larger statement piece, we can help bring your vision to life.
