Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are die struck pins, and when would a fashion brand choose them over enamel pins?
Die struck pins have the design pressed directly into the metal with no enamel or color, a sculptural metal badge with clean lines, like a miniature coin or medallion. A high-fashion or minimal-aesthetic brand chooses them over enamel when they want a pin that reads as a design object rather than merch, with the metal finish carrying the design. They start at 25 pieces.
Q: How much do die struck pins cost?
Pricing depends on size, base metal, plating, and quantity, and is shown on the product page, generally comparable to soft enamel. The die tooling is the primary fixed cost; volume improves unit economics. Configure your order to see live pricing.

25 pieces, the same as all pin types. A 25-piece run is great for a limited-edition or membership application, and die struck pins carry strong perceived value at low quantities, with no setup fees.
Q: What designs work best as die struck pins?
Logos with a strong silhouette and clear positive/negative space, bold, graphic marks where the form carries the design, since the relief is the design element. Intricate fine detail reads less cleanly than crisp, graphic shapes. Send your artwork and we'll confirm it suits the format.
Q: Can die struck pins be customized with text?
Yes. Text can be stamped directly into the metal as part of the design, giving a letterpress-like quality in pin form that suits a minimal brand mark. Clean, bold fonts work best; thin-stroke serifs at small sizes may be hard to reproduce in stamped relief. Send your text and we'll confirm legibility on your proof.

Gold, silver, black nickel, antique gold, antique silver, copper, and rose gold. The plating IS the design statement for die struck pins, it's the main variable beyond the relief shape, so choose thoughtfully. Antique finishes are especially popular for a heritage, hand-crafted look.

Q: What's the most elevated-looking plating option for a fashion brand die struck pin?
For an elevated, fashion-forward look, antique gold or black nickel reads most refined, both downplay shine in favor of depth and character, which suits a minimal or luxury brand mark.

Tell us your brand's direction and we'll proof the plating.
