Pins FAQ
Explore soft enamel texture, design limits, color matching and coating options to choose the right finish for your pin.
How does soft enamel differ from hard enamel?
Soft enamel has recessed color and raised metal outlines, creating a textured surface. Hard enamel is polished level with the metal for a smooth finish.
Which design details need adjusting for soft enamel?
Enamel colors need separate areas defined by metal lines. At the final pin size, tiny text, narrow gaps or crowded details may need enlargement or simplification.
Can soft enamel pins include gradients or photographic details?
Yes, with a suitable added process such as UV Printing. Standard enamel fill creates solid color areas; printed details need review for placement on the textured surface.
How closely can soft enamel match my brand colors?
We use Pantone references to match enamel colors as closely as the process allows. Supply color codes rather than relying only on how the artwork looks on screen.
Can I add special effects to selected soft enamel areas?
Glitter, glow, translucent or pearl finishes can accent selected areas. Compatibility and any clear resin layer depend on the effect and may change the surface feel.
Should I choose soft enamel with or without Epoxy Coating?
Leave it uncoated to retain the raised metal and recessed color. An optional clear epoxy dome gives a smoother, glossier surface; it does not turn it into hard enamel.
Are soft enamel pins suitable for regular wear?
Yes, soft enamel pins suit regular wear and display. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasives, prolonged moisture, perfume and household chemicals.
