Custom Lapel Pins in Alabama
Lapel pins are decorative pins traditionally worn on the lapel of a jacket. There are a few different types of custom pins in Alabama, and each has its pros and cons.
Button Lapel Pins
Buttons aren't exactly lapel pins but are often referred to as such. They are the most commonly used type of pin because they are so inexpensive and versatile. Their production involves printing a picture on paper, affixing it to a pin contraption, and covering it with protective plastic. There are absolutely no restrictions as to what can be put on a button.
Pros: Very inexpensive, Very versatile, Quick production.
Cons: Casual appearance, Less durable.
Photodome Lapel Pins
Sometimes known as offset printed pins, photodome pins are similar to buttons, but are a much higher quality. In this process, an image is transferred to vinyl and mounted to a metal pin. The image is shielded from the elements with a clear acrylic coat and framed by decorative metal. The use of acrylic instead of epoxy, ensures the colors of the image stay true over time.
Pros: Image complexity, No image outlines, Quick production, Durable.
Cons: Casual appearance.
Die Struck Lapel Pins
Die struck pins are created using a pretty simple process. A die, or stamp, of an image is made then used to imprint the pins in Alabama. This creates a raised outline of the desired image on the pin. Die struck pins have a very subtle look making them a good choice for any company or organization.
Pros: Subtle appearance, Inexpensive, Very durable.
Cons: No color, Image restrictions.
Soft Enamel Lapel Pins
Soft enamel pins start out as die struck pins. The difference is, the recessed portion of the pin is filled with the enamel, a type of long lasting paint, and allowed to air dry. The final product has colorful images with raised metal edges.
Pros: Inexpensive, High Quality, Colorful, Durable.
Cons: Image restrictions.
Hard Enamel Lapel Pins
Hard enamel lapel pins are often confused with cloisonné pins, but the process is somewhat less complicated and more customizable. Hard enamel lapel pins are very similar to soft enamel lapel pins. Hard enamel lapel pins in Alabama have a very professional appearance; the metal boarders are still visible, but the paint is level with them creating a polished appearance.
Pros: Highest quality, Extremely durable, Professional appearance.
Cons: Image restrictions.
