How to Choose a Custom Pin Style

When it comes to designing a custom pin, your first step is settling on a pin style. This means what material your pin will consist of, what manufacturing techniques you want to apply, and the added features that you want to include. While much of this is a matter of stylistic preference, there are a few material guidelines you should keep in mind.

The expert team at Galaxy Design Squad recommends these steps to choose how you want to approach your pin creation:

Set Your Design Preferences

Your first step in ordering custom pins is understanding some basic goals. For instance, how large do you want your pins to be and how many do need? These are some of the simplest questions to guide your order, so they’re a good place to start.

Choose a Pin Material

The different types of pin material include soft enamel, hard enamel, metal Die Struck (no color), and other various customizations. Each of them has its own advantages like Soft enamel pins have raised metal lines and recessed colors, while Hard Enamel pins have a smooth jewelry like finish to them. However, another feature to take into account is the speed at which you need a delivery. Die Struck pins are by far the fastest, as no color needs to be applied.

Choose an Art Style

Depending on the type of art that you want to include on your pin, you’ll want to choose a unique style that speaks to your brand, your goal, or your objective. Some types of art are more vibrant and colorful, while others are more subtle or more realistic. If you’re trying to replicate a photograph on your pins, then picking out an Offset Printed (photo realistic Pin) will get you better results. If you’re not sure which art style is best for what you want, the art team at Galaxy Design Squad can help you navigate through your options.

Pick Out Your Extra Features
