Frequently Asked Questions
What is a soft enamel pin?
A soft enamel pin is a metal pin where colour is applied in recessed areas between raised metal borders — giving the pin a textured, tactile feel with borders you can feel with your finger. It's the classic "enamel pin" look, the most popular pin type worldwide, and the most common choice for corporate pins, school badges, event merchandise, and collector pins.
What's the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel?
Soft enamel has recessed colour areas below raised metal borders — textured feel, vibrant colours, more affordable. Hard enamel is polished flat so the enamel is flush with the metal — smooth, jewellery-like, more durable but higher cost. Soft enamel is the right choice for most event, promotional, and school uses; hard enamel is preferred for premium corporate awards and collector pieces.
Can I get a custom shape?
Yes — die-cutting allows any shape: round, shield, star, your logo silhouette, a character outline, or any freeform design. Share your artwork and we'll produce a digital proof showing the die-cut shape and colour fill before production begins.
What is the MOQ?
From 20 pieces — making it accessible for small teams, pilot runs, and individual creators. Bulk pricing applies at higher quantities. Contact us with your quantity and design for a quote.
Can I get magnetic backing instead of butterfly clutch?
Yes — magnetic backing is available and popular for corporate collar pins worn on business shirts, where piercing the fabric is undesirable. The magnet attaches securely to any fabric without leaving a hole.
How many colours can I use?
Unlimited Pantone colours — soft enamel can accommodate complex multi-colour logos, gradients (using stippling or dithering), and detailed artwork. We offer Pantone colour matching to ensure brand colour accuracy.
How long does production take?
Typically 12–15 working days after artwork approval. Plan your order at least 4–6 weeks before your event or gifting deadline to allow buffer for revisions and delivery.
What packaging options are available?
OPP polybag (standard), custom printed backing card (retail-ready), velvet pouch, or gift box. Backing cards can feature your company logo, social media handle, or brand messaging — ideal for fan merch and retail pins.
Is GiftHub a GeBIZ-registered vendor?
Yes — GiftHub is a registered GeBIZ vendor and can issue e-invoices for government agencies, statutory boards, schools, and institutional procurement orders.
