Embossed Soft Enamel pins
Soft enamel
lapel pins are the least expensive and the most popular pins on the market. Soft enamel is also a die struck pin with an enamel fill. Instead of being heat treated, the paint air-dries which causes slight settling. This creates a unique, multi-dimensional look because the paint is at a lower level than the metal borders. Instead of feeling smooth, the pin has textured ridges.
Soft enamel pins are still excellent in quality, but are more flexible for customers' needs and budgets. Typically used for schools, promotional items, trading pins, sports memorabilia, organizations and nonprofit groups,
soft enamel pins make up nearly 70% of pin production.
