Understanding Custom Pin Pricing Before Getting Started
There are two main factors that determine pin pricing: size and quantity.
Larger pins require more materials, so the price per pin increases as the size of the design increases.
However, larger orders of pins allow you to take advantage of heavy discounts.
We have detailed pricing charts for all the different types of pins based on size and quantity to help you get a better estimate on pricing before starting a design. Standard sizes range from 0.75” to 2.00”, but we can design in any size or shape you need. For pins larger than 2.00”, our sales team will have to create custom pricing for you that includes an oversized mold fee. As far as order quantity is concerned, our minimum order is 100 units.
The average order for 100 soft enamel pins that are between 0.75” and 1.25” is $275 and $300. Soft enamel pins, cloisonné pins, all the other types of pins we offer have unique pricing. On our pricing page you’ll find charts like this one for all the different pin types.
Other factors affecting custom pin pricing that are not listed on our pricing page are design upgrade options. We offer an array of upgrade and premium attachment options that range in prices. If you would like to include upgrades from the list below, our sales team will be happy to create custom pricing for you!
Choosing the Best Pin For The Job
Depending on your budget and your plan for using your pins, there are advantages to each type of pin we offer!
Soft Enamel Pins: Budget Friendly With Vibrant Detail!
These are the most popular and one of the most cost effective options! They’re perfect to use as giveaways, as employee recognition awards, and as tools to build brand awareness at trade shows and marketing events! The average cost for 100 soft enamel pins is about $280.
Cloisonné Pins: Elevated Designs With Jewelry Quality Finish
These pins have a smooth, polished surface that create an elevated sense of value. They are slightly more expensive than soft enamel pins, but they are perfect for businesses in need of highly detailed logo pins or pins to hand out as awards for service and excellence! A lot of artists choose cloisonné when creating collectible pins because of their pristine quality and amazing detail! The average cost for 100 cloisonné pins is around $290.
Die Struck Pins: Rustic Appearance With Classic Appeal
These pins have no enamel colors which allows the metal plating to accentuate the features of your pin design. We recommend antique plating styles for these pins because the reflective quality of high polish metal can obscure the smaller details in a die struck pin design. These pins are perfect for award ceremonies, anniversaries, and club accessories. The average cost for 100 die struck pins is around $280.
USA Made Rush Pins: High Quality Pins With Fast Production
Our American made rush pins are manufactured via a texture printing process that allows for unlimited color gradients and vivid detail. The textured surface is similar to a traditional soft enamel pin, but the production process allows for more detail and faster production! These pins are perfect if you need custom pins fast, or if you need a design with picture quality detail! The average cost for 100 USA made rush pins is around $350 and they will be ready to ship in just 3-5 business days!
