What kind of trading pin should you get?99% of USSSA Fastpitch trading pins are typically either soft enamel pins or photoscreen pins. Soft enamel pins let you feel the texture of the pin design on the surface of the pin. Photoscreen pins are smooth and shiny, giving you full color and great detail. About 60% of USSSA Fastpitch world series pins are soft enamel (sometimes called die struck with color added) and the other 40% are photoscreen pins (or some similar printed trading pin type). Compare photoscreen & soft enamel pins What size pin should I order?Don't go too small! Small fastpitch pins are frequently shunned by players. The average USSSA Fastpitch pin size is 1.75". We'd suggest at least 1.50", but no smaller. Be smart when designing too... why spend money on a spinner or a blinking LEDs if you've got an undersized trading pin? Get a good sized pin first, and if your budget permits... go for the extras. Bigger pins are much better than small pins with 'extras'. How many USSSA Fastpitch World Series pins do I need?USSSA Fastpitch pin orders fluctuate based upon the number of teams in the tournament. Plan to have enough pins for each player to trade with each team (plus a couple extras for family). Unsure how many teams there will be? Don't wait for the final team list or you'll pay a lot for rush shipping!!! Just look up last year's team count and add 10%, that will be close enough to the count you'll need. When do I need to order our USSSA Fastpitch Global World Series pins?First get your pin design completed with us. Do it early though... your pin design can wait for you to get your funds ready to order your pins. Don't wait until June to order! 60% of teams order then. Soft enamel pins take more time to make (they are colored by hand), don't wait to long to order. Don't get caught in the traffic jam if you can avoid it. EXPERT TIP: Raise team funds early in the season, or see if someone on the team can make the purchase and reimburse them when you finish your fundraising. Pins can also be sold as a team fundraiser.

Most teams order soft enamel or photoscreen so the pin can be traded all week. When should we order USSSA Fastpitch pins for World Series or nationals?Start artwork once the team is committed to the event. Soft enamel is colored by hand and takes longer. About 60% of teams order in June - rush is available, but earlier is cheaper and safer. How many USSSA Fastpitch World Series pins do we need?Plan one pin per player per team you expect to meet, plus extras for family. If the current team list is not posted, use last year's division size plus about 10%. What size should USSSA Fastpitch pins be?The average USSSA Fastpitch pin is 1.75". Do not go smaller than 1.50". A larger pin trades better than a small pin with extras. Should World Series and nationals pins be soft enamel or photoscreen?About 60% of USSSA Fastpitch World Series pins are soft enamel. Photoscreen is the faster full-color option when the art has gradients or the date is tight. Can you ship USSSA Fastpitch pins to the hotel or complex?Yes. Put the hotel, complex, or home address on the design request along with the date the pins must be in hand. Do you still make USSSA Fastpitch pins for World Series and nationals?Yes. Metro Pins was named Official National USSSA Pin Supplier 15 times and still makes USSSA Fastpitch pins for World Series and nationals teams every season. How do we start an order?Send the logo, colors, quantity, and needed date through our softball design request. We will prepare artwork and pricing for approval. |
