What Are Custom Die Struck Pins?

Custom die struck pins are metal lapel pins made by stamping your design into a metal die, creating raised and recessed areas with no enamel color fill. The result is a clean, all-metal look where contrast comes from sandblasting the recessed areas against the smooth, polished raised surfaces.

Starting at 100 units with 7-10 business day production and free shipping to the US, die struck pins are the top choice for corporate logos, military insignia, government seals, and formal recognition awards where a classic, understated metal finish is preferred over color.

Die Struck Pin FAQs

  • Answer

    Die struck pins are all-metal pins with no enamel color fill. Your design is stamped into the metal, creating raised and recessed areas where contrast comes from sandblasting the recessed surfaces against the smooth, polished raised areas. Soft enamel pins use the same die-struck metal base but add colored enamel into the recessed areas, creating a vibrant, multi-colored look.

    Die struck pins are ideal when you want a classic, formal metal appearance — perfect for corporate logos, military insignia, and awards. Soft enamel pins are the better choice when your design needs color.

  • Answer

    Die struck pins are popular for designs where a refined, all-metal look is preferred over color. Common uses include:

    • Corporate branding: Company logos and employee recognition pins with an elegant, professional finish
    • Military and government: Unit insignia, rank pins, and commemorative service pins
    • Awards and honors: Achievement pins, years of service pins, and membership pins
    • Formal events: Gala pins, fundraiser keepsakes, and ceremony pins

  • Answer

    Our minimum order for custom die struck pins is 100 units. Larger orders lower your per-unit price — check our pricing page for volume discounts. Production typically takes 7-10 business days, and we include free shipping to the US.

  • Answer

    We offer 9 plating options for die struck pins: high polished gold, high polished silver, copper, black nickel, black metal, antique gold, antique silver, antique copper, and dual plating. Antique finishes are especially popular for die struck pins because the antiquing process highlights the recessed detail in your design, adding depth and a classic, vintage feel.

  • Answer

    Die struck pins are designed to be all-metal with no enamel color. If your design requires color, we recommend our soft enamel pins or cloisonné pins instead — both use the same die-struck metal base but add colored enamel fill. You can also explore offset printed pins for full-color photographic designs.
