Cloisonne: Cloisonne or 'Hard Enamel' as it is formerly known, was first given to
the Chinese by Central Asian missionaries in the 14th century. The Chinese practiced
the art of making cloisonne lapel pins and developed it to a high standard

Imitation Hard Enamel Imitation hard enamel invented in early 1990 is also named
Soft Cloisonne or Cynthetic Cloisonne. It has replaced parts of the hard enamel
pins because of similarity to hard enamel, lower cost and faster delivery time.
Silkscreen printing and offset print
Soft Enamel: The soft enamel style is the most popular type of custom made lapel
pin because it offers brilliant colors and raised metal detailing.
Die Struck: A die is used to stamp an impression onto a copper or iron sheet. Copper
has a slight advantage over iron since it is a softer metal. This means when
struck with the die, copper lapel pins typically have sharper images than their
iron counterparts.
Silkscreen: This process of silk-screening a lapel pin allows special logos to be
used without the need for the fine gold or silver metal line around each color
on the pin.
Offset Printed: Pin Promotions offers Offset Printed Pins when your design requires
fine lines and details in a specific color range rather than in metal, or when
your image is a painting or photograph
Photo Etched: Photo etched lapel pins offer the greatest flexability in design and
color choice. And they are best suited for higly detailed and complex designs.
