CUSTOM SOFT ENAMEL PINS
Color you can feel.
Built for bold ideas.
Raised metal lines hold each color slightly below the surface, giving soft enamel pins visible depth, crisp separation, and a tactile finish made for expressive artwork.
WHY CHOOSE SOFT ENAMEL
A finish with a clear point of view.
Depth you can see
Metal lines sit above the color, creating a physical rhythm that makes simple shapes and strong outlines feel intentional.
Bold artwork reads clearly
Separated color areas, solid fills, and confident lettering translate especially well into this construction.

Soft enamel is usually the lower-cost enamel construction in the same size, quantity, plating, and backing.

DESIGN FIT
Artwork that belongs in this finish.
Soft enamel works best when the artwork benefits from contrast and texture. It rewards clean shapes, visible metal dividers, and a color story that can be understood at pin scale.
Merchandise and event pins
Bold art and tactile color give collectible pieces a lively, approachable character.
Teams, clubs, and communities
Strong emblems and readable lettering stay clear while the recessed color adds dimension.
Illustrative brand artwork
Logos with large color fields and deliberate outlines gain depth without needing a perfectly flat surface.
HOW IT IS MADE
Built one controlled layer at a time.
The digital proof confirms the shape, metal lines, colors, and wording before production. The manufacturing process then creates the surface that defines this style.
The metal form is created
A custom mold defines the outside shape, raised outlines, lettering, and separated color areas.
Color is filled below the lines
Enamel is placed into each recessed area and cured while the surrounding metal remains visibly raised.
The pin is finished and checked
Plating, backing, color placement, and overall appearance are reviewed before packing and delivery.
What makes soft enamel feel textured?+
The colored enamel sits slightly below the surrounding metal lines. Your fingertip can feel those raised dividers across the face of the pin.
What artwork works best?+
Bold vector-style artwork, separated solid colors, and readable outlines are ideal. Very small gaps, photographic detail, and continuous gradients may need simplification or a printed construction.
Is soft enamel less durable?+
Soft enamel pins are made for normal everyday use. The recessed color is surrounded by raised metal lines. The choice between soft and hard enamel is usually more about visual character and surface feel than a simple durable-versus-fragile distinction.
Will I see a proof before production?+
Yes. We review the artwork and provide a digital proof showing the shape, metal, colors, and specifications before production and payment.
