Why are custom pins so expensive?

1. Made in China: Due to relatively low labor costs and a well-developed supply chain, badges produced in China are generally not very expensive.

2. Materials: If you want to customize badges made from pure gold, pure silver, or other precious materials, the price will certainly be much higher.

3. Mold Costs: Fully custom badges require mold creation, which means customers need to cover the mold fee. At PeaKeen, we will store your mold for three years. If you continue to need and use this mold, we will keep it for as long as necessary. Of course, this mold is exclusively yours, and we will not allow anyone else to use it.

5. Craftsmanship Differences: Badges made with imitation enamel are usually more expensive than those with soft enamel, and soft enamel badges are more expensive than printed badges. Therefore, the price varies depending on the technique used.

This is why they are often used for military badges, police badges, etc. Button pins, on the other hand, are made from stainless iron and plastic, making them less sturdy and more prone to damage over time. Button pins are considered more temporary and may rust or degrade with prolonged use.

3. Craftsmanship: Enamel pins offer more craftsmanship options, including soft enamel, hard enamel, cut-out, 3D, and more (for detailed differences, you can refer to…). Button pins, however, primarily use a printing process.
