WHICH TYPE OF PIN DO YOU PREFER?
SOFT ENAMEL
Soft enamel pins are a popular type of lapel pin that feature a raised metal surface with recessed areas that are filled with colored enamel. The enamel is typically air-dried, which results in a slightly textured finish. Soft enamel pins are a great choice for designs with fine details or color gradients, as the recessed areas allow for more precise color placement. These pins have a slightly lower production cost than hard enamel pins, making them a popular choice for promotional products or large orders.
HARD ENAMEL
Hard enamel pins, on the other hand, have a smooth, polished surface due to the application of multiple layers of enamel that are heated to high temperatures. This results in a more durable and long-lasting pin, with a high-quality, jewelry-like finish. Hard enamel pins are often referred to as cloisonné pins, as they use a similar production method to traditional Chinese cloisonné enamelwork. These pins are ideal for designs with bold colors and strong lines, and are a popular choice for collectible pins or high-end jewelry pieces. Although they are more expensive to produce than soft enamel pins, the premium finish and durability of hard enamel pins make them a worthwhile investment.
