Hard Enamel Pins / Epola / Imitation Cloisonné

custom hard enamel pin Hard enamel pins are arguably the highest quality pins available. Sometimes called 'epola pins' or even 'imitation cloisonne', hard enamel pins are a long lasting and durable choice for corporate pins, convention pins, event pins, fraternity pins, sorority pins or political pins.

Hard enamel pins are die-struck pins with color applied using a small brush or needle. Thin metal lines separate each of the colors on your pin. Hard enamel pins are heated to a high temperature and then polished, creating a bright, smooth, hard enamel finish. For an embossed look where you can feel the texture of the design, select soft enamel pins instead.

Compare: hard enamel vs. soft enamel pins

Hard enamel polished pins (aka, die struck pin w/hard enamel), are one of the highest quality pins available. Hard enamel has brilliant colors, metal separated detailing, great durability with a polished smooth and hard finish. 2.00" and larger pins have two 8mm spur nails on the back, while smaller pins have one.
