How to make Soft Enamel Pins?Step 1: Prepare your pin designTip 1 : Make sure that the linework is crisp and connected.These lines are going to be what separates the colors. These colors are manually poured onto the Soft Enamel Pins so having thick enough and crisp lines are essential.Tip 2 : Make sure that the design is simple enough.Working on something that is 1 to 2 inches in size is hard enough. Having too many lines can make it hard to pour in the colors. Trust me, you don’t want to waste weeks going back and forth with the pin manufacturer doing edits. The simpler the design, the faster they can finish your pins..Tip 3 : Do not use small texts.This will not be readable particularly on a pin that is 1 inch small.Tip 4 : Try to use bold lines and colors if possible.As mentioned, the pins are quite small. Seeing the details from afar is almost impossible if you use thin lines. Muted colors are also less visually appealing. Unless you are working with pastel items, the bolder the colors the better.Tip 5 : Do not use shading on your design.It cannot be captured properly on a pin. You will just be wasting your time because the manufacturer will have you remove those eventually. They will not make Soft Enamel Pins that are not designed according to their specifications. The same goes for transparent colors and gradients. Just stick to solid colors.Tip 6: Make sure that you use the Pantone color matching systemIn order to communicate what colors, you want for your Custom Enamel Pins. Most manufacturers use this system to get the right colors. You don’t want 50 copies of a pin that doesn’t match your original design, right? .ORDER NOW 10% OFFStep 2: Decide Enamel Pins materialHard Enamel PinsHard Enamel Pins offer jewelry-quality design and an incredibly smooth surface, while still being durable and long-lasting. The pins are made from iron metal that has been died struck. The manufacturer adds the enamel before the actual plating is done. And then they polish the surface for several times. Because each color must be added separately, the Hard Enamel Pin tends to be pricier but is more durable. The multiple polishing processes do not allow for highly-detailed designs.
Soft Enamel PinsSoft enamel pins feature a 3D-like surface that includes a textured surface with very fine details. Your design is stamped onto the iron metal. It is then cut to size. Afterward, the badges are attached to the metal plating. The enamel is then added onto the recessed spaces. The pins are baked to harden the enamel. Soft Enamel Pins have bumpy surfaces unless an epoxy coating is applied to it. It allows for more details to be included in your design. It tends to be cheaper too. soft enamel pins image ORDER NOW 10% OFF
