Lapel Pins 101
A lapel pin is a small metal pin worn on clothing, often on the lapel of a jacket, attached to a bag, or displayed on a piece of fabric. Lapel pins can be ornamental or can indicate the wearer’s affiliation with an organization, brand, or cause.
What Are Lapel Pins?

Overwhelmed by these beauties?!
Having trouble deciding what type of Lapel Pin you need?
We can help!
Here at IDProductsource,
we offer 4 different kinds of lapel pins:
1. Die Struck Lapel Pins

Lapel Pins (except the Offset Printed) start as a highly detailed Die Struck metal blank that may be used as is without any additional colorfill. Our high-quality, top-notch metalwork on these pins makes them especially great for business logos!
2. Soft Enamel Lapel Pins

Soft Enamel Lapel Pins are the most versatile, and widely used lapel pins in our lineup. These pins have a textured, recessed surface leftover from the die-struck process, that is left to adhere the enamel in place.
They are seen as the traditional pin, with their high-quality metalwork and finish, as well as with the bright and vibrant PMS-matched colors. These pins will be a real winner for your clients!
3. Hard Enamel Lapel Pins

Hard Enamel Lapel Pins are known for their classy, stylish, and jewelry-like smooth finish. These pins have a polished surface that provides the desired professional feel. The enamel may be PMS color-matched for the perfect, elegant finished product!
4. Offset Printed Lapel Pins

Offset Printed Lapel Pins are capable of producing intricate designs with outstanding quality which cannot be produced by traditional production methods. These pins are Full-Color Digitally Printed, which means they are perfect for complex, highly detailed, and/or gradient-based artwork!
Now that you’ve picked the type of Lapel Pin that you’re looking for, all you need is
the backing of your choice and it is as easy as that!
