Custom Lapel Pins › Offset Print Pins
Custom offset print pins from Metro Pins deliver full-color designs with smooth, detailed finishes. These printed pins (also called photo screen pins) are a strong choice when your artwork includes gradients, photographs, or fine detail that enamel cannot capture as cleanly.
Photo screen pins are the most ideal and popular type of pins for trading.
They are widely used by teams. They are inexpensive, and they look great.
They are especially appropriate if you want a design with complex detail.
Compare photoscreen & soft enamel pins
Photo screen pins are ideal for complex logos, photos and designs that incorporate gradients (color fading).
We will either create this pin using a photo etched plate or printing directly onto the base
metal using an offset print process, depending upon your design.
Both processes hold more detail than any other pin. Almost any artwork can be produced on a photo screen pin.
2.00" and larger pins have two 8mm spur nails on the back, while smaller pins have one.
Note: Photoscreen pins are printed using CMYK color process which isn't as vibrant as the RGB color you will see on your computer screen or phone.
Full-Color Offset Print Benefits
- High-quality, full color appearance
- 0.8mm stainless steel - heavier than aluminum/tin
- Flexible design - photos, gradients, complex logos
- These pins allow the most detail and color
- Easy to convert existing logos for use
- Price is the LOWEST and fastest to make!
Disadvantages of Offset Print Pins
- Pin still feels somewhat lighter than soft enamel, but not cheap - good pin
- Colors are not as vibrant or bright as soft enamel or the computer/phone screen
- Not as durable as soft enamel pins - backs can break with rough handling

Custom Offset Print Pin Questions
What are custom offset print pins?
Custom offset print pins are metal pins printed with full-color artwork, then covered with a clear protective epoxy dome. They reproduce photographs, gradients, and fine detail more accurately than traditional enamel fills.
Are offset print pins the same as photo screen pins?
Yes. Photo screen pins is the name we have used for years for this process. The production method is offset printing onto metal, so both terms describe the same product.
When should I choose offset print instead of enamel?
Choose custom offset print pins when your design includes photos, soft gradients, small text, or complex color transitions. Soft and hard enamel are better for bold solid colors and raised metal lines.
Is there a minimum order for custom offset print 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 offset print pins include free artwork?
Yes. We prepare free digital artwork for every custom offset print pin order and will adjust the design as needed for clean printed results.
How long does production usually take?
Standard production and shipping is typically within 30 calendar days. Rush production with 15-calendar-day delivery is available for an additional charge.
