Pin on Pin is a layered pin-making technique where multiple metal pieces are stacked and permanently attached to create a three-dimensional effect. Instead of a flat, single-layer pin, Pin on Pin allows for separate elements—like logos, characters, emblems, or text—to be elevated above the base design. This gives the pin both visual and physical depth, making it more engaging to the eye and to the touch.

Each layer can be produced using different colors, finishes, or even materials. The result? A pin that looks complex, polished, and premium—perfect for those who want more than just the basics.

How It’s Made: A Layered Process

Creating a Pin on Pin pin is more complex than a standard enamel pin—but the result is worth it. Here’s a simplified version of the production workflow we follow at Hipins:

1. Design & 3D Modeling
   We begin with your artwork or idea. Our in-house design team creates a layered digital mockup showing how each component will stack and interact.
2. Mold Creation
   Each layer requires its own mold. Our factory uses high-precision CNC and die-casting to produce molds that ensure perfect fit and alignment.
3. Base & Layer Production
   Base pins and top pieces are cast or struck separately, often using materials like copper, zinc alloy, or iron, depending on the design’s complexity.
4. Plating & Surface Treatment
   We offer a wide range of finishes—gold, silver, antique brass, matte black, rainbow anodized, and more. Each piece is plated individually before assembly.
5. Color Filling
   Soft or hard enamel is filled into recessed areas. This step is often done separately for each layer to preserve clean lines and color separation.
6. Assembly
   Layers are fixed using rivets, welding, or industrial adhesive, depending on the design’s needs. We ensure zero movement and perfect alignment.
7. Final Polishing & QC
   The fully assembled pin is polished, cleaned, and inspected. Our team performs multiple quality checks to guarantee consistency across the order.
