  • Size and Material: The pin measures 118mm and is crafted from zinc alloy with gold plating, offering a polished and elegant finish.
  • Color Palette: A diverse selection of PMS colors was used, with a focus on subtle gradients, raised metal under translucent enamel, and sandblast textures for added depth and contrast.
  • Attachment and Packaging: The pin includes two rubber clutches for secure attachment and is packaged in PVC bags with bubble wrap for protection.
  • Special Details: Features intricate details, including:
    • Transparent enamel under 1365 PMS.

    • Raised and recessed metallic elements to highlight the design.

Communication Process

The collaboration process was a testament to our client-centric approach. During production, the client provided specific feedback, which we implemented promptly:

  1. Color Adjustments: The client requested changes to specific color elements:
    • PMS 7410 and 472 sandblast areas were changed to PMS 1365.
    • PMS 7410 gradients were adjusted to PMS 600 with a pearl finish (no swirl).
    • Certain areas without sandblast were also updated to PMS 1365.
  2. Timely Updates: Our team maintained clear communication at every step, providing progress updates and visual proofs to ensure alignment with the client’s vision.
