Enamel Pin Manufacturing - Types of Pins
-
Hard enamel pins: Hard enamel pins, also known as cloisonné pins, are made by filling recessed areas of a metal pin with enamel and then baking it to harden the enamel. These pins have a smooth, polished finish and are known for their durability and high-quality appearance. They are a good choice for intricate designs and fine details.
-
Soft enamel pins: Soft enamel pins, also known as impression pins, are made by filling recessed areas of a metal pin with enamel and then baking it to harden the enamel. The surface of the pin is then sanded down to give it a textured, slightly raised appearance. These pins are more affordable than hard enamel pins and are a good choice for designs with fewer details.
-
Die-struck pins: Die-struck pins are made by using a die to stamp a design onto a metal pin. These pins have a high-quality finish and are a good choice for intricate designs and fine details. They are more expensive than soft enamel pins but are also more durable.
-
Printing pins: Printing pins are made by printing a design directly onto a metal pin. These pins are the most affordable option but may not have the same level of detail and durability as other types of enamel pins.
