Baseball and softball trading pins come in a variety shapes, sizes, and types. Today’s blog is going to focus on a lesser known type of trading pin that we offer. This type of pin is called offset printed.
With this type of pin, we can print your team logo, player’s names, numbers, or even a photograph right onto the metal pin. We then cover the pin with a thin layer of epoxy to protect the image. When you feel this pin, it will be smooth as glass.
These pins have an advantage to traditional die struck pins because they can show gradients or color fades. You can see the gradient on the pin here if you look at the blue text “Colts”. It fades from darker blue at the top to lighter blue at the bottom.
Another advantage is that we can print tiny details that traditional molds can’t accommodate. If you have a tiny state seal that you would like to include on your pin, offset printing could be the answer. Some customers prefer this type of pin and request it every year.
These pins are solid metal and are plated in either gold or silver. They can be cut to shape just like the pin you see here. This gives the pins more depth and definition.
If you have a photograph of your players, send it our way and we will incorporate it into your trading pin. Visit https://lapelpinsplus.com/. You can also email info@lapelpinsplus.com or call 1-800-252-0904. We’ll be happy to send you a full color digital proof as well as a free price quote.
