Printed Pins
Printed pins are used when an organization or company wants a full colour process. Used heavily in the corporate field, this pin is inexpensive when ordered in large quantities. Using a photo negative process, the image is transferred directly to the base metal. An epoxy dome is added to give the pin a bright sheen and additional protection. Printed pins are great for conventions, large scale promotions and fund raisers.

Manufacturing Process (click here)
How a Printed Pin is manufactured.
The first step in the manufacturing process is to cut the out the shape of the pin. A master 4' x 6' sheet is put into a stamping machine where the shape of your pin is cut out. These blanks are then burnished so that the coloured inks will adhere to it. The design is then printed onto the metal and the clear coat is applied to protect the printing. The pin now heads for plating. The back fastener is then added and the pin is packaged. The finished product is fantastic as colours jump off the pin.

Serialization
Making each pin unique is a sure way to have your pins become a collectors item. One of the best ways to do this is to individualize each pin with its own serial number. This identifies to the collector how many have been produced as well as which pin they have in their collection. (eg 1/200, 2/200, etc.)
Including serialization increases the value of your pin and creates a limited edition pin.
Price:
$0.11 per pin
Gemstones

Add a green stone or Emerald to your existing pin to signify five years of service or special service to a specific committee.
