We have been asked this question a few times lately so we thought we would address it in today’s blog. The term “soft enamel” actually refers to the type of paint that is baked into the lapel pins. All of our pins are made out of solid metal and measure 1.2 mm in thickness. They cannot be folded and are not soft even though their name leads you to think that.
Soft enamel lapel pins tend to be one of our biggest sellers because of their 2D appearance, superior craftsmanship, and rich detail. Not only are these items personable and sentimental, they are also very versatile. Businesses, organizations, schools, church groups, and clubs use this type of lapel pins for many different reasons.
The Difference Between Die Struck Lapel Pins and Soft Enamel Lapel Pins
While we are on the topic of soft enamel pins, we would also like to address the difference between die struck and soft enamel. Basically, they are the same type of pin except the soft enamel pin has color fills. The die struck pin is plated in gold, silver or copper and has no color fills at all.
Knowing details and terminology is beneficial in many ways because it can help save you money. Here’s an example for you to consider. Let’s say that you have a pin design and you want 100 pins featuring your logo to be filled with color and 100 pins with no color at all.
At Lapel Pins Plus, you get to take advantage of the quantity 200 price break and not have to pay any mold or setup fees. Because the design is the same, we can make part of the order die struck (no colors) and the other part soft enamel (with colors) which allows you to take advantage of the savings.
We want you to be satisfied with your order. That’s why we make you a part of the process from start to finish. In addition to a full color digital proof which you must approve before we send your order to our production department, we also provide you with free artwork and free shipping.
