Custom trading pins

What kind of pin to get?  For most custom trading pins, start with soft enamel pins, hard enamel pins, or die struck pins.  Photoscreen and UV print are better when the art has gradients or a tight deadline.  Compare hard enamel and soft enamel pins.

Custom Trading Pin Questions

What are custom trading pins?

Custom trading pins are event or club pins made to swap with other teams, chapters, or attendees. They are usually larger than a standard lapel pin and often include glitter, danglers, or extra color.

Which groups order custom trading pins from this section?

Balloon events, Beta Club, cheer, Destination Imagination, Falls Creek Church Camp, motorcycle clubs, Odyssey of the Mind, and ski resorts. More event pages will be added here as they are built.

What process is best for custom trading pins?

Soft enamel is the usual trading look. Hard enamel is smoother. Die struck is all metal. Photoscreen and UV print handle full-color art and tighter timelines.

How many custom trading pins should we order?

Plan one pin per person per group you expect to meet, plus extras for coaches, family, and leftovers. Use last year's event size plus about 10% if the current list is not posted.

Is there a minimum order?

There is no strict minimum. A sample is available on most styles. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities.

How do we start?

Open the event page that matches your group, or send artwork through our design request form. Include the event date and quantity.
