Enamel pins are staging a powerful comeback, ready to assist you in creating a significant impact and making a bold statement. And enamel pins are taking the spotlight in this trend.

Soft enamel pins are a popular form of lapel pins crafted with a distinct manufacturing process. First, the design is engraved onto a metal base, typically znic alloy. Then, soft enamel, which has a relatively lower viscosity, is carefully filled into the engraved recesses.

During the subsequent baking process, the enamel hardens, yet it retains a slightly textured surface due to its nature. This texture, along with the smooth blending of colors, gives soft enamel pins a unique aesthetic. They are often lower cost – effective to produce compared to hard enamel pins, making them an appealing option for businesses, organizations, and collectors looking for an affordable yet high – quality promotional or collectible item.

Hard Enamel Pins

Hard enamel pins are a premium class of collectible and promotional items. They start with a precisely engraved metal die, usually made of zinc ally or brass. High – quality enamel, which is more viscous than its soft counterpart, is then applied to the recessed areas.

The pins are fired at high temperatures multiple times. This process results in a smooth, glass – like finish with sharp, well – defined edges. The colors on hard enamel pins are vivid and retain their luster over time. Due to the intricate manufacturing process and superior materials used, hard enamel pins often command a higher price point, making them a symbol of luxury and durability in the pin – making world.

Soft vs. Hard Enamel Pins: Key Differences

Creating your first custom enamel pin is fun. But before you get into color choice, artwork, or backer design, you have an important decision to make: مينا ناعمة المينا أو المينا الصلبة.

What’s the difference between hard and soft enamel? The biggest difference between hard and soft enamel is the finished texture. Soft enamel pins have raised metal edges that give them texture, are less expensive, and offer more design flexibility. Hard enamel pins are smooth and shiny, more durable, and take longer to make.
