Specifications

Pin Types & Finish Options

• Soft enamel — the most popular and affordable option; enamel colour sits below the raised metal borders; textured feel; vibrant colours; good for complex multi-colour logos and detailed artwork
• Hard enamel (cloisonné) — enamel is polished flush with the metal surface; smooth, flat, jewellery-like finish; the most premium and durable option; preferred for corporate awards and high-end collector pins
• Epoxy dome — clear resin dome applied over full-colour printed artwork; photographic-quality colour; suited to logos that cannot be achieved with enamel fills alone; scratch-resistant
• Die-struck (no fill) — no enamel colour; design stamped into metal with plating only; elegant, classic, all-metal appearance; used for military pins, award pins, and sophisticated corporate logos

Backing Options

• Butterfly clutch — standard metal clasp; secure and cost-effective; most common for corporate and event pins
• Rubber / silicone clutch — softer, more comfortable to handle; provides extra grip; reduces pin spinning
• Magnetic backing — attaches to any fabric without piercing it; ideal for delicate garments, shirts, and corporate uniforms where holes are undesirable; popular for collar pin use on business shirts
• Safety pin / stick pin — traditional pin backing; used for badges and event passes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lapel pin? What is a collar pin?

A lapel pin is a small decorative pin worn on clothing, typically on the lapel of a jacket or collar of a shirt. In Singapore, these are commonly called collar pins — the terms are interchangeable. They are used for corporate branding, school badges, membership identification, event souvenirs, and fashion accessories.

What is the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel?

Soft enamel has recessed colour areas below the raised metal borders — giving a textured, tactile feel. It's the most popular and affordable option. Hard enamel (cloisonné) is polished flat so the enamel is flush with the metal — smoother, more premium, jewellery-like finish. Hard enamel is more durable and suited to high-end corporate awards and collector pins.

Can I get magnetic backing instead of a butterfly clutch?

Yes — magnetic backing is available and popular for collar pin use on business shirts where piercing the fabric is undesirable. The magnet attaches securely without leaving a hole. Suitable for most fabrics including dress shirts and blazers.

What shapes are available?

Any shape — round is standard, but die-cutting allows any custom shape including your logo silhouette, shield, star, animal, character, or freeform design. Share your artwork and we'll produce a digital proof showing the die-cut outline before production.

What plating options are available?

Gold, silver, black nickel, antique gold, antique silver, antique bronze, rose gold, and dual-tone combinations. Plating choice significantly affects the overall look — antique finishes suit vintage and heritage designs; black nickel suits modern minimalist designs; gold suits corporate and military pins.

What is the MOQ?

Contact us with your quantity, design, and finish requirements for a quote. We supply both small runs and large bulk orders.

How long does production take?

Typically 12–15 working days after artwork approval. Plan orders at least 4–6 weeks before your event to allow time for revisions, approval, and delivery.

What packaging options are available?

OPP polybag (standard), custom backing card with branding, velvet drawstring pouch, or gift box. Backing cards can be printed with your company name, logo, and website — adding a retail-ready look to fan merch and collector pins.

Is GiftHub a GeBIZ-registered vendor?
