What Are Hat Pins Used For?
Hat pins serve a similar purpose as lapel pins. They can be worn to show support for a team or group, raise awareness for an important cause, or simply to decorate an outfit. The designs vary in colors, shapes and sizes depending on who the hat pins are made for, but ultimately, each custom pin is designed to help tell a story.

Designing Thoughtful Hat Pins Tailored to the Occasion
Creating custom pins is an excellent way to express yourself without words. At Pin Depot, we have a wide range of artwork and designs that you can choose from to help tell your story. Whether it’s a set of military hat pins for veterans, or personalized little league baseball trading pin for the big game, we will be able to create the perfect design for you.
Because most hat pins are exposed to the sun for an extended amount of time, one of the greatest methods to make your design stand out is to choose the proper plating technique. Under any light source, high-polish gold and silver pin designs gleam with distinction, giving your artwork an eye-attracting effect that will prominently show against the backing fabric of a hat. Black metal pins or antique metal pins may get lost in the cloth's surface if they're attached to a dark garment.
If you want your design to really stand out, go for glitter enamel. Traditional soft enamel pins are great for versatile and bright designs, but glitter enamel will help certain parts of the artwork pop even more. Glitter is perfect for a variety of different hat pins, like band or festival pins.
Because many music venues and shows occur outside after dark, adding blinking lights into the design of band hat pins or festival pins will ensure that your design is still visible even after the sun sets. While a blinker is an interesting method to create a distinctive design, keep in mind that due to the blinker mechanism on the back, the pin will be somewhat heavier than usual. If you attach it to a cap with thin fabric like a bucket hat, this can cause the pin to droop forward.
When it comes to a hat pin, one of the best methods to make the design distinctive is to include unit emblems, service medals, or notes about the weapons soldiers were trained to use. Air Force, Army and Navy pilots sometimes wear full 3D pins in the shape of their aircraft they were trained to fly. 3D artwork provides an unrivaled level of depth and detail, but 2D artwork is ideal for anybody looking to create a design with a unit emblem imprinted in the middle.
The 1st (and Most Important) Step to Create Your Custom Hat Pin
If you're interested in ordering custom hat pins from us, simply fill out a free quote form on our website. In the form, be sure to mention what type of pin you would like, as well as any thoughts or ideas you have for custom artwork. You can also let us know how many pins you need and which attachment option (if any) you would prefer. We will then get back to you with a custom design and quote for your review and approval in less than 48 hours.
Next, when selecting a backing for your hat pin, the post-and-clutch attachment is usually the best option for most hat pins, but if you're concerned about the clutch impacting how the hat sits on your head, a safety pin attachment may be your best bet. A magnetic backing will keep the pin in place without piercing through the thicker cloth if you intend on attaching a pin to the bill of a hat.
If you need help picking the best custom option for your design, our team will be more than happy to assist you. In addition to free artwork, we also offer complimentary revisions; simply reach out to us if there's something you'd like to tweak in the design. And once everything looks perfect from your perspective, we can finalize the order.
