What exactly is a trading pin? How is it different from regular custom pins?
Trading pins are a type of custom pin designed specifically for collecting and swapping—most commonly used at sports tournaments (like Little League, soccer cups), comic cons, or school events. Unlike regular pins that focus on aesthetics alone, trading pins are usually bolder, more thematic, and built to stand out in a collection. They often have unique features like danglers, glitter enamel, or dual plating to make swapping more fun. Plus, they’re made in larger batches (100+ pieces) to fit team/club needs.
Can I customize trading pins with my team’s logo, mascot, and even player names?
Absolutely—personalization is what makes trading pins fun! We can add your team’s logo front and center, sculpt a 3D mascot, print player numbers/names on the back (or even the front for a personalized touch), and include tournament details (like event name, year, location) on the border. Pro tip: For team swaps, make a small batch of “special edition” pins with the captain’s name or a championship logo—they’ll be the most sought-after pins at the event.
How long does it take to make trading pins? We have a tournament in 5 weeks?
Standard production time for trading pins is 10–12 business days, plus 3–5 days for shipping. 5 weeks is plenty of time—even with design approvals and minor revisions. If you need them faster, we offer a rush service for a small fee: we can finish production in 5–7 business days and ship them express. Just make sure to approve the digital mockup within 24 hours to avoid delays.
Can trading pins have special features like danglers, sliders, or glow - in - the - dark enamel?
Yes! Special features make trading pins way more fun and valuable for swaps. We offer danglers (small extra pins attached by a ring), sliders (moving parts like a soccer ball that slides across the pin), glow-in-the-dark enamel (charges in light, glows at night), and even sound chips (for a small premium). The only limit is your imagination—just note that complex features add a bit to the cost and production time. Pro tip: Glow-in-the-dark pins are a hit at night games!
Can trading pins be made in different shapes?
Absolutely! Trading pins can be made in almost any shape you want—there’s no limit to creativity, which is part of what makes them fun for collecting and swapping. Common shapes include classic circles, squares, and rectangles, but you can also go for custom shapes that match your team, event, or theme: think team mascot shapes (e.g., a lion, eagle), sports equipment (e.g., a soccer ball, baseball bat), event-related shapes (e.g., a trophy, tournament venue outline), or even unique abstract designs. The only small catch is that super intricate, ultra-thin shapes might need a slight tweak to ensure durability (so they don’t bend or break during swapping). Our designers will help adjust your shape idea for free to keep it looking great while being sturdy enough for tournaments.
