Glow in the Dark Enamel

for Pin, Coins, Medals, etc

Below are images that show the daylight/night appearance of our available glow-in-the-dark powders that we add to PMS enamel colors.  Click image to toggle light/dark views.

The final color of the PMS enamel will be impacted depending upon which glow-in-the-dark powder color we add and how much of it is added. We use our experience to determine the correct mixture, but it is a determination that is impacted depending upon who is working on it for that particular batch. This can result in hue changes from batch to batch (minor or major) and should be considered when ordering glow in the dark pins or glow enamel.

Because there is an element of variation that can occur between batches making the exact same thing, it may be preferable to you to order the total number of items you want the first time you order (vs ordering lesser quantities in multiple orders).

So when choosing an area for "glow-in-the-dark" treatment...

  1. Pick the base PMS enamel color for the area.
  2. Pick the number of the glow in the dark powder color to add.
  3. Glow powder will change the color of the base PMS enamel.
  4. Consider how those two colors may interact and adjust color choices accordingly.
  5. Only submit your order with the understanding that you will not know the exact look of these glow areas until you see them.
  6. Understand that if you reorder the exact same thing, there will likely be batch-to-batch variation.

Glow in the Dark Pin Questions

How do glow in the dark pins get their glow?

Glow powder is mixed into a PMS enamel fill. You pick the base enamel and the powder number. The mix changes the daylight color of that fill.

Will my glow enamel match a prior order?

Not exactly. Mix amount is judged per batch, so hue can shift. Order the full quantity in one run if match matters.

How much does glow in the dark enamel add per piece?

$0.20 per glow color per piece. List the PMS color and powder number on the design request.

Is glow powder #8 still available?

No. Glow #8 was dropped on 01/19/23. Use another powder number from the chart.

Can I see the night look before I order?

Click the chart to toggle day and night. Use the slider example below it. The finished fill still varies by batch, so treat those views as a guide, not a match proof.
