Creating lapel pins that look and feel the way our clients want them to is one of the services that Signature Pins is happy to provide. Customers who frequently order custom lapel pins from us have become very familiar with the different styles and personalization options we offer. Knowing exactly what kind of pins they want makes the ordering process even easier.
For new clients who are not as familiar, learning about our wide assortment of styles reveals many unique opportunities. When we respond to requests from first time customers, we are often asked, “What are die struck lapel pins?” We hope answering this question will help client’s become more familiar with this popular style.
How Are Die Struck Lapel Pins Made?
Die struck lapel pins are created by an all metal process and can have a classic, aged look or sparkle like a shiny new penny. Often described as handsome and regal, die struck pins can range from a sandblasted to an antique gold, silver or copper finish.
Crafted from iron, brass or copper, cutting molds of the lapel pin design are made separately prior to the plating process. The raised surfaces in the pin design are polished to add definition and depth in recessed areas.
This style of pin is used in many different ways but are commonly created as years-of-service and employee award pins. A few other ways in which die struck lapel pins have been used are:
As a fundraising item or tool for organizations and clubs
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of a business or corporation
For wear as part of employees’ uniforms
To signify induction into a Hall of Fame
In commemorating and or paying tribute to special people and events
