The Benefits of Using Silk Screen Images on Custom Lapel Pins

Silk screen printing, commonly used on t-shirts, hats and bags, can also be used to increase the appeal of your custom lapel pins. The well-known design method achieves this by adding its own touch of something special.

Richly Layered and Boldly Unmatched

Using the silk screen method, colors are laid over the raised areas of soft enamel and die struck lapel pins.On cloisonné pins, the silk screen is actually laid over the paint area allowing for a wide variety of interesting designs.

With the colors being layered, your custom lapel pin design is given a richer and cleaner appearance. The major benefit of this process is that we can achieve the tiniest of details which cannot be done with traditional stamped designs. The primary reason for this is the fact that we do not have to outline the silk screen color with metal.

Emphasizing the Details Has Not Been Easier

For example, the lapel pin you see here is one lapel pin that has used silk screening to enhance the final product that was delivered to the customer.  Because the silk screen is laid over a painted surface, we know that this is a cloisonné lapel pin with silk screening. Notice the boldness of the green and blue colors, how the details along the edge of the handprint appear crystal clear and sharp.

The lapel pin above makes it obvious how well silk screen printing captures fine details.  For this reason, it is best to use the process on customized pins that consist of several design features and small details, like military emblems and state seals.

Though silk screen offers a high level appeal in terms of a pins appearance, the truth is any one of our pin styles can be used to create a one-of-a-kind and outstanding lapel pin.
