Three Types of Dynamic Pin Structures That Bring Your Design to Life

Three Types of Dynamic Pin Structures That Bring Your Design to Life

In the world of enamel pin manufacturing, structural innovation is reshaping how pins are designed, displayed, and experienced. Unlike traditional static pins, dynamic structure pins introduce a new level of interactivity, making them a favorite for brand merchandise, anime IP collections, art toys, blind box series, cultural gifts, and corporate giveaways.

Today, we’ll explore three of the most popular and creative dynamic enamel pins:
Spinner Pins, Moving Pins, and Spring Pins. Each offers unique advantages in design, functionality, and visual impact.


Spinner Pins

Spinner pins feature a rotatable component within the pin structure. This spinning part can be located in the center, on the edge, or incorporated symmetrically—giving designers plenty of creative flexibility.

When gently spun, rotating elements like logos, magical symbols, or decorative accents come to life, providing both visual interest and tactile engagement.

Best for designs involving:

  • Rotating logos or double-layered motifs
  • Characters, symbols, or spell effects
  • Dynamic visual elements for anime or gaming merchandise

Key advantages:

  • Smooth rotation and durable attachment
  • Multiple connection options: rivets, screws, double-layer designs
  • Compatible with various surface treatments like soft enamel, epoxy, or metal stamping

Moving Pins

Moving pins integrate functional structures such as sliders, swinging charms, or rotating arms, allowing specific parts of the pin to move manually or naturally. These interactive details tell stories, enhance the design depth, and elevate the overall pin experience.

Imagine a sliding train, a rotating star, or a dangling accessory—each brings its own narrative and engagement to the piece.

Common structures include:

  • Sliding tracks for left-right or up-down movement
  • Dangling charms with free-hanging joints
  • Interconnected parts with rotating mechanisms

Ideal for applications such as:

  • Story-driven, multi-character designs
  • Action or scene transitions
  • Blind box collectibles, interactive cultural pins

Spring Pins

Spring pins include a bounceable element, typically located at the top of the pin, connected by a mini spring. With a gentle press, the component moves up and down or wobbles slightly—creating an unexpected and fun tactile effect.

The spring strength and bounce level can be customized based on the design. These pins are perfect for quirky, animated characters or novelty concepts.

Highlights of spring structure:

  • Available in various spring tensions for different bounce effects
  • Secure structure using rivets or multi-layer construction
  • Durable and stable even in small parts or detailed layouts

Common use cases:

  • Bouncy character heads
  • Wobbly animal ears or decorative elements
  • Creative brand giveaways or event merchandise
