Why Choose Soft Enamel Pins?

At The Monterey Company, our passion for lapel pins goes beyond the conventional — it's an art form we've been mastering for over thirty years. Among the myriad of options we offer, soft enamel pins hold a special place in our repertoire and in the hearts of our clients.

Why do soft enamel pins capture such admiration? The answer lies in the meticulous craftsmanship that breathes life into every custom pin. Our skilled artisans layer each design with precision, transforming simple concepts into exquisite accessories that add a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.

While our portfolio includes an array of pin types, from the sleek lines of metal die-struck pins to the polished finish of cloisonné pins, it's the soft enamel pins that consistently capture our clients' affection. The secret to their allure? A meticulous process where enamel paint is applied to the recessed areas of the design, creating a vibrant contrast against the raised metal lines. This technique not only ensures that colors remain vivid and distinct but also highlights the intricate details of the design, making each pin a custom-crafted masterpiece.

Discover the difference that three decades of dedication to craftsmanship can make with The Monterey Company's soft custom lapel pin. We also urge you to check out our custom hard enamel pins.

How Are Soft Enamel Pins Made?

Crafting soft enamel lapel pins requires a special process.

  • The making of a soft enamel lapel pin starts with the custom making of a die in order to strike a logo onto it. This die is put into a milling machine and used to accurately cut the logo into a sheet of stamped metal, creating raised parts (known as all-metal edges) that stand out from the main surface while still being somewhat recessed.
  • The next step: colored enamel is applied to into these recessed areas, going up to 75% of the depth so that when the pin is finished it has a textured feel thanks to its unique coloring. This also does away with the otherwise smooth finish.
  • The last step in the process is to plate them. For soft enamel pins, most people prefer gold or silver but someone who likes dark colors may choose black nickel ( darker than chrome). The raised surfaces get polished to perfection and any stamped details are filled up using paint so it looks good from every angle! The three different finishes that are available for this style of lapel pin include a matte finish, an antique finish, and a shiny plating. The antique finish gives more detailing and a retro appearance which makes the smaller text readable, as well as faces standing out. And you would have rightly guessed that our antique finish enamel pins custom are the most desired product.

What's the difference between soft and hard enamel pins?

Soft enamel pins and hard enamel pins are like the yin and yang of the enamel pin world. Soft enamel pins have that cool textured, 3D vibe with raised metal edges and dips of color, perfect for fancy designs and lots of colors. But they might get a little roughed up over time.

On the flip side, hard enamel pins are all about that smooth, glossy finish, where the color is flat and flush with the metal. They're tough cookies, great for solid colors but not so hot with tiny details. Soft enamel pins are budget-friendly, while hard enamel pins are built to last. So, which one's your pin soulmate? It's all about your style and plans for rocking those pins.

They have raised metal edges rather than smooth ones, which makes them easily distinguishable by feel - but don't let their affordability fool you; prices for these little guys vary depending on how many you buy! If your plan is only to purchase 100 pins (as an example), then pricing will be much lower when buying 1k units. The price for 100 would cost around $2.65 vs $1.20 per 1000 quantities.
