Die-Struck Pins vs Soft Enamel Pins
The main difference is color. Die-struck pins use an all-metal raised-and-recessed surface, while soft enamel pins fill the recessed areas with color.

Pins FAQ
Explore metal relief, artwork limits and finish options to see whether die-struck construction suits your design.
When should I choose die-struck instead of enamel pins?
Choose die-struck for an all-metal design with raised details and recessed texture. Enamel pins add filled color areas; die-struck designs rely on metal contrast.
Can die-struck pins have rounded, three-dimensional relief?
Standard die-struck pins use stamped, two-level detail. For rounded, multi-level designs, our 3D Metal Relief uses zinc alloy casting rather than the same stamped construction.
Which design details need adjusting for die-struck pins?
Fine lines, tiny lettering and narrow gaps need enough space to remain clear in metal. Depending on the final pin size, detailed artwork may need enlargement or simplification.
Which metal finish will make my design stand out?
Polished raised details contrast with recessed textures, while antique finishes darken recesses. Choose the finish for the contrast you want, not just the metal color.
Can die-struck pins include cutouts or individual numbering?
Cutouts can create open areas, subject to artwork review. Laser engraving can add individual serial numbers, dates or lettering in suitable metal areas.
How should I protect the finish on die-struck pins?
Die-struck pins suit regular wear and display. Use a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasives, prolonged moisture, perfume and household chemicals to protect the metal finish.
