When it comes to custom pins, many clients ask us a very common question:
“Can one design only be made into a single type of pin?”
The answer is: absolutely not.
Many clients are excited to see how a single design can transform into different types of Pin that can showcase their brand.
Utilizing a single design across various Pin types allows for creative flexibility and maximizes visual impact.
This is a very common concern, especially for brands, organizations, and collectors who want to maximize the impact of their artwork. The good news is that your creativity is never limited to a single form. In fact, one design can evolve into multiple pin types—each with its own unique style, texture, and purpose.
At HIPINS, we believe a single design has unlimited potential. The same artwork can be applied to different pin types, styles, and finishes, allowing you to choose the best match for your brand identity, event, or collection. Let’s explore the most popular types of pins you can create from one design.
1. Classic Enamel Pins
Timeless and versatile, enamel pins remain the most popular choice. With sharp outlines and vibrant colors, they bring your artwork to life in a polished and elegant way. Perfect for branding, giveaways, or personal collections.
2. 3D Relief Pins
When your design needs more dimension, 3D relief pins offer depth and sculptural detail. Logos, emblems, or characters become striking metal artwork that feels tactile and visually powerful. This style adds a premium touch to any collection.
3. Printed Pins
For complex graphics, gradients, or photographic elements, printed pins capture every detail. Unlike enamel or relief, this process allows your original design to remain fully intact—ideal for art pieces, portraits, or detailed illustrations.
4. Epoxy-Coated Pins
An epoxy dome gives your pin a smooth, glass-like surface while protecting the artwork from scratches and wear. This finish not only makes the pin more durable but also adds a sleek shine, making it perfect for souvenirs and everyday use.
5. Commemorative Pins & Medals
Printed Pins are ideal for capturing intricate artworks that reflect your unique style and message, making every Pin special.
Want to turn your design into something truly meaningful? Commemorative pins or coin-style medals are an excellent option. They can feature double-sided artwork, antique textures, and fine engravings, making them highly collectible and symbolic for events, anniversaries, or milestones.
6. Dual-Function Pins
A single design can also be adapted into versatile accessories. Imagine your artwork as a magnetic pin, a keychain attachment, or a lanyard piece. This gives your design new life beyond a traditional pin, combining practicality with creativity.
Commemorative Pins hold significant value, often celebrating special events that resonate with collectors.
