1. 0:00Die struck pins turn your emblem into metal relief.
2. 0:05Check artwork at actual size: thin strokes close up and small counters fill in. Keep open space around detail, and confirm line and gap sizes in the quote.
3. 0:16Pick the finish for legibility. Antique keeps small text readable; mirror polish can glare. Map raised, recessed and edge zones.
4. 0:27A large pin can spin on one post; a second post holds it. Butterfly clutches suit most programs; locking clutches suit repeated wear.
5. 0:38Approve a physical sample: it shows plating tone and relief depth a proof cannot. Agree die ownership and reorder terms in writing, before tooling starts.
6. 0:50Tell us your size, quantity and finish.
7. 0:55Send your artwork for an itemized quote.
