  1. 0:00Custom soft enamel pins: color set below raised metal.
  2. 0:05First, fit. Raised metal lines wall off each color, which sits recessed below them. That suits solid color blocks and bold outlines; gradients may need a printed pin.
  3. 0:16Second, judge it at actual size. Art that looks clear zoomed in can crowd at pin scale, so check the smallest text on a printout.
  4. 0:27Third, match finish and backing to wear. Gold, nickel or black nickel shift the look. Shown here: a butterfly clutch. Other backs are confirmed on the proof.
  5. 0:38Fourth, epoxy is optional: a clear dome smooths the surface but softens the relief. Approve a full proof of size, colors, plating and posts, then lock it before production.
  6. 0:50Here's a look inside our factory. We engrave a steel mold, cast the metal blanks, then fill enamel color by color, for finished pins like these.
  7. 1:02Up close: recessed color, raised lines, clutch back.
