Hard enamel pin

Great callout—hard enamel does cost more, but the upgrade is visible and tactile. Here’s why it’s worth it: Finish feel: Enamel is filled flush with the metal borders, then polished to a smooth, glassy surface—no raised edges when you run your finger over it, unlike soft enamel’s textured border. Durability: The enamel is baked thicker and polished, so it resists chipping, scratching, and fading way better. Perfect for collectibles you’ll keep for years, or pins you wear daily.

Absolutely—unique shapes are totally doable for hard enamel, even complex ones like a dragon with layered wings. The process uses a custom die to cut the metal base, so as long as your design has clear, defined edges (no super flimsy, paper-thin parts that would break during production), we can make it happen.The only tiny caveat: Super delicate details (like a dragon’s eyelashes that are too thin) might need a slight tweak to make sure the enamel adheres properly. Our designers will free to adjust your sketch to keep the vibe intact while making it production-friendly. No extra cost for that, by the way.

Most factories (including us!) have a hard enamel of 100 pieces—perfect for your Kickstarter needs. Smaller orders (under 100) are possible, but the per-unit cost jumps a lot because we still have to make a custom die (the tool used to cut the metal shape).Pro tip for Kickstarter creators: If you hit a stretch goal and can bump to 200 units, the per-pin price drops by ~25%—worth building into your campaign rewards!

Standard hard enamel production takes 10–14 business days (longer than soft enamel, since the polishing step adds time), plus 3–5 days for shipping. 4 weeks is plenty of time—even with a buffer for design approvals or minor delays.If you’re cutting it closer (like 3 weeks), we offer a rush service for a small fee—we can trim production to 7–8 business days and ship express. Just keep the design simple (avoid 10+ colors or ultra-fine details) to speed things up.

We live for rough sketches—ODM is our bread and butter! Whether you have a doodle on a napkin, a digital sketch with messy lines, or just a description (“a cat wearing a wizard hat with stars”), our in-house designers will refine it for free.Here’s how it works: We’ll send you a digital mockup with the exact size (we recommend 1.25–1.75 inches for hard enamel—perfect for details), color matching, and metal finish options. You can ask for unlimited revisions until you’re 100% happy—no design fees, no hidden costs. We only charge once you approve the final mockup and place the order.
