Why Choose Offset Print Pins?
Offset print pins reproduce detailed, full-color artwork directly onto the pin surface, making them ideal for designs that contain gradients, shading, fine lines, small text, or photographic details. Unlike traditional enamel pins, the artwork does not need to be separated by metal borders, allowing smoother color transitions and greater freedom for complex visual designs.

Pins FAQ
Explore image clarity, printed color, custom shapes and coating options before choosing offset printing for your pin.
When should I choose offset printing instead of enamel?
Choose offset printing for photographs, gradients, shading or continuous artwork. Unlike enamel fill, the printed image needs no metal dividers between colors.
Will fine details and small text print clearly on my pin?
Clarity depends on both the original file and the finished pin size. Send the highest-quality artwork available; tiny text or dense detail may need enlargement or simplification.
How closely can offset printing match my brand colors?
Offset printing uses CMYK, with Pantone references as color targets rather than exact spot colors. Colors are matched as closely as printing allows and may differ from a screen.
Can the pin shape follow the outline of my artwork?
Yes. The metal base can follow a custom outline. The cut line, narrow points and attachment position need review so the shape works at the finished size.
How does Epoxy Coating change an offset printed pin?
An optional clear epoxy dome gives the printed surface a smooth, glossy finish. Choose it for a domed profile and changed surface feel instead of an uncovered print.
How should I clean and protect the printed surface?
Use a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or rough rubbing. Keep the pin away from prolonged moisture, perfume and household chemicals, including when epoxy-coated.
