Graduation Pins: Celebrating Growth
For Rite of Passage and Personal Accomplishment
Graduation is a major milestone in an individual's life. Whether it's graduation from high school, military basic training, the Police Academy, college or any other type of training, completing your instruction and earning your place in the graduating class is an accomplishment that deserves recognition.
Custom graduation pins are a fantastic way to commemorate the event, recognize graduates' accomplishments, and pay homage to their future endeavors.
Show Your Pride with a Custom Graduation Pins
Don't know what gift to give the graduates in your life? A custom lapel pin is both memorable and meaningful. It's a way for them to show off their accomplishments with pride.
It's time to celebrate those who have graduated! Here at Pin Depot, we can help design custom graduation pins that commemorates this event. These pins will be something new alumni can treasure for years to come.
After the graduation ceremony, students begin a new adventure, but with a custom-made graduation pin, they'll always have a physical reminder of their accomplishment no matter where their journey takes them.
Custom graduation pins are a special way to commemorate this achievement and mark the transition into adulthood. Each pin is a symbol of all that a student has accomplished and everything they have yet to experience.
Pins are a popular way for schools, clubs and student organizations to show their colors, traditions and courses of study. Some people prefer shield-shaped pins displaying a coat of arms, while others choose to design a unique mascot pin. No matter the case, graduation pins are a celebration of achievement that graduates can wear with pride.
How to Wear Lapel Pins for Graduation
It's also critical to know where the pins will be attached to your graduation regalia before beginning a custom design. Because not every company has a set style or method of wearing a pin for graduation, this step may be a bit of an obstacle. So, where do graduation pins go?
The placement of graduation pins is typically left up to students, although some schools have their own traditions. Some people prefer to attach their ceremonial pins to their graduation cap, however one of the finest methods to ensure that your pins are visible to people and in photographs is to attach them to your tassel.
Graduation pins can also be attached directly to your robes or capes along the collar if you don't want to put them on your cap but don't want to wear a separate stole, scarf or ribbon either.
Before you buy your college graduation pins, it's always a good idea to contact the school and inquire about the correct placement for these types of pins. For example, nursing graduation pins are usually awarded during pinning ceremonies that take place before the actual commencement ceremony. Once you know where on your clothing the pins will be placed, then you can begin to think about factors such as size, shape, and type of attachment method.
Because a graduation cap has plenty of surface area available, graduation cap pins can be bigger in size, and the hat itself is less likely to be overly weighted down by a larger pin. Our average pin length is 1.25 inches, but we've produced enormous pins as big as 3 inches that make a huge impression even from afar. If you're going to attach your lapel pins to a tassel, ribbon, or stole, keeping things simple is best: use an average size.
While most graduation pins feature school emblems, there are other ways to make your pin design more eye-catching. Custom shaped pins can be designed to better represent the graduate's accomplishment and what graduation means to them, making the gift even more sentimental. For example, medical school and nursing graduates often receive pins in the shape of a caduceus, while university students may receive mascot-shaped pins.
Some fun and extra special ways to design your graduation pins are in the shape of a graduation cap with tassel shaped danglers or diploma scrolls with the year of graduation inscribed. Release the power of your imagination and come up with even more interesting designs during the design and revision process!
Custom shaped pins are often the favorite of fraternities and sororities as well. Although the artwork for a fraternity or sorority pin will typically include the chapter’s Greek letters, each pin is still designed to be unique. Gemstones may be used to differentiate between pins awarded to graduates and alumni, club officers and new pledges.
Giving a college graduation pin to your student is not only a fantastic way to celebrate their accomplishments, but also ensure the gift design is personal, customized and memorable. With unique options like shapes or combinations of colors and features, your graduate will be sure to love and appreciate this thoughtful present.
