• What is hard enamel pins?

Custom hard enamel pins, also known as  cloisonné-style pins and they have a smooth and polished surface. The enamel is level with the metal edges of the pin and is hand polished to a glossy, almost jewel like finish. This meticulous production process brings out the real colors of the enamel, making the pin look more elegant and of higher quality. It’s a great way to display logos, animals, flowers, or any other business-related or cute enamel pin design. Both in terms of quality and price, custom hard enamel pins are great for branding or personal use.

• The differences between Soft Enamel Pins and Hard Enamel Pins.

The key difference between hard enamel and soft enamel lies in the textures. Hard enamel pins have a smooth, flat, and shiny finish, while soft enamel consists of raised metal with recessed enamel areas.

In soft enamel, the metal plating is done before the filling with enamel. If you're looking at a rainbow-plated, black painted, or an antique metal finish for your pin, the soft enamel would cater to your need.

Conversely, after filling the hard enamel with color, the surface is ground down to be polished smooth, flat finish. With this grinding process, hard enameling may be best fitted for original metal color plating since certain metal finishes can be incompatible.

Soft enamel pins are baked once all the colors are applied, while hard enamel pins are baked after each color is added individually.

• What Makes Hard Enamel Pins a Great Choice?

Custom hard enamel pins have a polished, smooth surface made with the finest metal plating for durability. With several rounds of baking, these pins are also exceptionally strong. Founded on their charming concept, Hard Enamel pins can be used at formal events, especially for corporate logos, brand identity, organizational signage, awards, and recognition, while adding a high class into any occasion. A variety of creative custom shaped hard enamel pins are also available and encouraged.
