FINE DETAILING

Die struck pins are a fantastic product and have a bevy of advantages over colored enamel pins. The most obvious is that their lack of enamel coloring makes them cheaper, and quicker to produce, saving you both time and money. Their colorless appearance also gives them a universal appeal, allowing them to match any outfit or uniform. Their inherent lack of color also allows them to attain their appeal as tastes in color change over the course of time. If you are looking for a long lasting, durable product, die struck pins are an excellent option to consider.

10/10 would recommend. They have some of the more affordable prices among competitors and premier U.S.-based customer service. We went back and forth through more than 5 revisions and our challenge coins came out just as expected. Will be coming back!

I recently ordered custom challenge coins from this company, and they truly exceeded my expectations! The design process was seamless, and the final product was of exceptional quality. The attention to detail and vibrant colors made the coins stand out beautifully. Delivery was prompt, and the team was responsive throughout. We were working on a very tight timeline to have a completed product before a significant event. I highly recommend Lone Star Challenge Coins to anyone looking to create memorable challenge coins!

Personalizing Your Die Struck Pins

Make sure your pins stand out for all the right reasons by choosing from a range of lapel pin options. We have different style pins such as hard or soft enamel finishes, as well as an array of plating options and various add-ons. Whether you’re searching for colors and textures that communicate luxury, functionality, or class, we have the plating options for you.

PRO TIP: DON'T LET THE PLATING OUTSHINE YOUR DESIGN!

The drawback to die struck pins is that, without color, polished platings lack contrast and make it hard for you to see the intricacies of your design. To remedy the situation, consider using an antique plating to add some contrast. Besides adding a cool vintage appearance to your pin, it will also make small text more legible, and your design easier to see.

CUSTOMIZE WITH PLATING OPTIONS
If your design is simple, and lacks fine detailing, then polished plating may be the right choice for you. However, like mentioned above, we strongly consider using an antique plating option on die struck pins. The antique finish adds the contrast it’s polished counterparts lack.

Attachments can have both aesthetic and functional roles in the design of your custom pins. For example, if you’re considering getting die struck pins for uniforms or business attire, you may want to go with magnetic clutches. This is because it allows you to wear your pins without poking any holes in your clothes.

FAQS
Die struck pins, also known as bare metal pins, are created by creating a mold, or die, and using it to strike metal blanks. The manufacturer uses a high precision tool that strikes the blanks with immense pressure. After the pins have been stamped, they are plated. Since die struck pins are not colored, they skip this process and are ready to ship after passing a quality check.
The two materials that are typically used in the manufacturing of custom pins are either iron, or a zinc alloy. Iron is the cheaper of the two. It is both heavier, and less malleable. As such, it is not ideal for creating pins with intricate detailing, and the added weight also causes the pins to pull on the fabric it’s adhered to. It is for these reasons that we prefer to use a zinc alloy, as it results in lighter, higher quality pins.
Die struck pins are used for a variety of purposes such as company branding, promotional giveaways, employee recognition, commemorative items, fundraising, and as collector’s items.
Die struck pins are created by creating a mold, or die, and using it to strike metal blanks. The manufacturer uses a high precision tool that strikes the blanks with immense pressure. After the pins have been stamped, they are plated. Since die struck pins are not colored, they skip this process and are ready to ship after passing a quality check.
Die struck pins are typically attached using a post and clutch backing. The post is inserted into the fabric, and the clutch secures it in place. There are other options as well such as magnetic clutches which are fabric-friendly, and negate the need to put holes in the fabric. We also have rubber clutches and an array of other clutch types to choose from.
