Product Overview
Sometimes, less is more. Die Struck Lapel Pins offer a sophisticated, jewelry-like appearance by using only metal. Without colorful paints to distract the eye, the focus remains on the quality of the engraving and the shine of the plating. This is the standard style for high-ranking officials and corporate “Years of Service” pins (e.g., 10 Years, 20 Years).
The “Sandblast” Contrast Since there is no ink, how do we make the logo visible?
-
Raised Areas: Polished to a mirror-like shine.
-
Recessed Areas: Treated with a “Sandblast” texture (matte/grainy look).
-
The Result: The light catches the shiny parts and is absorbed by the matte parts, creating a clear, two-tone metal effect.
Plating Options (The Look)
-
Shiny Gold/Silver: Bright, blingy, and prestigious.
-
Antique Finish (Highly Recommended): We apply a dark “wash” over the metal (Antique Gold/Silver/Bronze). This darkens the deep crevices, making the text and details pop out with high contrast. It gives a vintage, historical look.
