Looking to make your custom pin pop? Here are five ways you can create a custom pin design that’s sure to be a hit with your customers, clients, employees and fans:

1) Create A Die-Struck Pin

When you’re going for a classic, timeless look and feel, nothing beats a customized die-struck pin. The simple elegance of these all-metal pins makes them look and feel far more expensive than they actually are, making these pins distinctive and highly collectible.

2) Use Distinctive Colors

Thanks to advances in silk screening and offset printing technologies, it’s easy to turn your full-color designs and images into your very own custom pin. These technologies allow you to make highly complex designs using your company logo or graphic that’s guaranteed to look amazing. Our design team provides digitally-drawn proofs that are as close to reality as possible, so you can see exactly how your design will come to life.

Consider designing a pin that incorporates the same colors used in your branding materials, as this is a great way to create brand awareness and boost brand loyalty.

3) Enhance Your Custom Pin Design With Dual Plating

Dual-plating is another great option you can use to enhance the look and appeal of your custom pin. This process combines two plating options to give your pin a rich, two-toned look, which makes for a final product that looks and feels far more expensive than it actually is.

4) Add Specialty Plating

Let’s face it, shiny things stand out, and that’s especially true when it comes to pins!

Our rainbow metal plating gives your pin an incredible iridescent finish with a subtle gradient of color, while our colored metal plating lets you add a single PMS iridescent color to your pin. Both options make even the most basic of pin designs pop!

5) Level-Up Your Pin With Add-Ons

For a pin that truly pops, take a look at the add-ons we offer here at Galaxy Design Squad. Glitter flakes are a great way to make any enamel-painted pin shine, while our glow-in-the-dark color fill option is truly a head-turner. You can also add a wide variety of gemstones to your pin to create a three-dimensional look, while our spinner, slider and bobbler pin style motion elements are real eye-catchers!
