Number and Letter Lapel Pins Look Their Best Using Cut-Outs
Posted by Lapel Pins Plus | Tuesday November 2nd, 2010 | Topic: Lapel Pins
Some customers know it by name, while others do not, but that does not change the fact that cut-outs are a favorite among many lapel pin users. Those that are familiar with this design extra always want to know whether or not Lapel Pins Plus offers cut-outs. Likewise, we are always happy to announce that “Yes, we do.”
Why Choose to Cut-Out
Other individuals, that do not know much about lapel pins or their customizable options, might wonder what makes cut-outs so special. Well, no one can explain that better than a premier lapel pin maker like us.
Cut-outs are a great way to add creativity and uniqueness to your custom pins. They add character to the pin design by bringing out some of the design’s subtle details. Not to mention, with our state-of-the-art software and production equipment, cut-out lapel pins are easy to create.
When creating a cut-out we actually cut and remove part of the mold. Doing this creates open spaces in the finished lapel pin. Lapel Pins Plus also offers the option of using cut-outs on either the entire pin design or just a portion of it. The cut away method works well on lapel pin designs that emphasize numbers and letters.
The creator of the gold lapel pin featured here decided to use cut-outs in the entire pin area. Though the lapel pin design consists solely of letters, using cut-outs gives the pin more definition. Imagining this pin without the cut away areas make it easy to see how drastically its presentation was enhanced by the visible spaces in-between and within the letters.
Creating the Perfect Cut-Out
In order to make sure that your cut-out pin will look its absolute best, it is important that its area be big enough. As a rule of thumb, your cut out area should be 3/16” or larger to achieve the desired effect.
