Custom Die Struck Pin Questions
What are custom die struck pins?
Custom die struck pins are solid metal pins created by stamping a hardened steel die into metal under high pressure. The design is formed entirely in the metal itself - there is no enamel or color fill.
How do die struck pins differ from enamel pins?
Die struck pins have no color fill. The design is expressed only through raised and recessed metal. Soft and hard enamel pins add colored enamel into the recessed areas.
When should I choose die struck instead of enamel?
Choose custom die struck pins when you want a pure metal look with no color. They work well for classic recognition pins, military-style designs, and any project that benefits from a high-end metallic appearance.
Are die struck pins more durable?
Yes. Because they are solid metal with no enamel, die struck pins are extremely durable and hold up well to heavy daily use.
What plating finishes are available?
Multiple plating options are available, including polished, antique, and other metal finishes that highlight the raised and recessed detail.
Do die struck pins work well for detailed logos?
Yes. The high-pressure stamping process captures fine lines and textures cleanly. We review every design and will suggest adjustments if needed for the best metal detail.
Is there a minimum order for custom die struck pins?
There is no strict minimum. A single sample is available, so you can order the quantity you need. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities.
Do you provide free artwork?
Yes. We prepare free digital artwork for all custom die struck pin orders and will refine line weights so the raised and recessed areas form correctly.
