What is the Difference Between Trading Pins and Lapel Pins?

Since baseball and softball season is coming up, we wanted to address a question that is frequently asked by our customers.  “What is the difference between trading pins and lapel pins?”  Our answer is this:

“A lapel pin can be created as a cloisonne, soft enamel, die struck or off set printed style lapel pin.  They usually are created in the size of .75” up to the size of 1.25"."

“A trading pin is usually created in the soft enamel or die struck style only.  They average in size from 1.5” up to 3.0".  The larger pin is better for trading purposes because it allows for the addition of glitter, danglers, spinners, and other sports add-ons."
