Hard Enamel lapel pins are created by filling the recessed areas of a metal, die-struck pin with a high quality enamel. The pins are then baked at very high temperatures to melt the colored mixture. After the firing process, the pins are sanded flush with the metal lines that divide the colors. Finally the surface is polished smooth giving the pin a lustrous and professional finish. Soft Enamel lapel pins consist of a metal, die-struck base pin injected with Pantone color-matched enamels. The pins are then cured at a low temperature giving an embossed effect that can be felt by running your finger over it. There are many metal platings available including gold, silver, copper and antique.
Make sure that your lapel pin is properly positioned and securely fastened to your clothing so it will not spin or fall off as you move throughout the day. This is especially important if you are wearing a patriotic flag pin. If the flag pin is upside down or crooked, it could offend some people. Remember to remove your lapel pin from your suit or clothing each day. If a lapel pin is left in certain fabrics for an extended period of time it could leave an unsightly permanent pin hole. Most importantly, enjoy wearing your lapel pin.
