Cloisonné Pins

Cloisonné pins are one of the best ways for you to leave a lasting impression with your clients, customers, employees or fans. Cloisonné gives your logo or art design a gorgeous high gloss finish, allowing small details and lettering to stand out. Cloisonné (or hard enamel) pins are the top choice for our customers because they offer a smoother and shinier appearance than both die struck and soft enamel. Although they are similar, cloisonné stands out from soft enamel because of its glossy finish and smooth, high polished metal areas.

Custom hard enamel pins work great as merchandise, as a giveaway item, or simply as an attention getter for your brand. They are hand polished to an intense reflective finish that communicates high quality and a sense of style. Their stylish look is what gives Cloisonné lapel pins their ‘High value corporate’ aesthetic. Cloisonné pins can also function as years of service awards for employees. Paired with presentation boxes or custom card stock, they make excellent commemorative gifts that your employees can wear with pride.

How are Cloisonné Pins Made?

Promotional pins are considered the starting point when it comes to custom pin designs. While simple, promotional pins are a great way to share your logo or brand with others. A more creative approach you can take is using custom pins as collector's items that showcase your artistic talent. Whether it's a simple logo or a complex art piece, a great enamel pin always starts with a striking design.

Even if you have no art or design skills, Pin Depot can help! Our staff of artists and designers have years of digital art experience, and are more than happy to assist you in the design process. If you’re not confident in creating your own enamel pin designs, you can always send us your ideas in the form of written notes or even a small sketch. We even take doodles on a napkin! You would be shocked to see how capable our team is at bringing your ideas to life!

Once you approve your design, a unique mold is created. The mold is then used to strike sheets of brass, creating deep impressions of your design details, while leaving raised metal outlines. These outlines hold each enamel color fill in place. The recessed areas are filled using a colored hard enamel powder, which completely covers the raised metal outlines. The pins are then fired at high temperature in a kiln, in order to melt the hard enamel powder. From there, the pins are buffed and polished so that the enamel is level with the raised metal. This ensures that the raised metals are mirror finished, and that the surface of the pin is smooth to the touch.
