and Custom Pin Plating

Pin plating options cover the base metal on die struck, diecast, and soft enamel items. Hard enamel and cloisonné need a high-polish finish. The usual custom pin plating choices are high polished gold, high polished silver, and black nickel.

Regarding BRONZE plating: Polished bronze plating is bright & shiny and has a look similar to, but not as yellow as gold plating. If looking for a brownish bronze color, select Antique Bronze or Antique Copper plating (depending upon your preference).

Pin Plating Option Questions

Which pin plating options work on hard enamel?

High-polish finishes. Hard enamel and cloisonne do not take antique, rainbow, or anodized aluminum. Soft enamel, die struck, and die cast use the wider chart.

Does custom pin plating cost extra for gold or antique?

Polished gold, polished silver, black nickel, antique plating, and PMS dyed plating add $0. Dual plating is $0.35 each plus $25 setup.

I want a brown bronze. Which plating is that?

Not polished bronze. Polished bronze is bright and closer to gold. Use antique bronze or antique copper for a brown look.

Can I put two metals on one pin?

Dual plating, shiny metals only (gold, silver, copper, black nickel). Not colored metallic plating.

Where is the shiny color chart?

On the shiny colored metallic plating page. That finish is nickel or silver base only.
