Custom 2D Pins VS Custom 3D Pins
When choosing custom pins, it’s important to understand the difference between 2D and 3D pins. While both are high-quality, collectible pins, they offer distinct visual effects and applications.
Features of Custom 3D Pins:
- Sculpted 3D Look: Raised and recessed areas create realistic depth.
- Clear Details: Intricate designs and text pop.
- Flexible Finishes: Works with enamel, UV printing, or polished metal.
- Premium Quality: Jewelry-like finish perfect for awards, recognition, and collectibles.
Summary of Differences:
- 2D Pins: Flat, simple colors, great for logos and large, cost-effective orders.
- 3D Pins: Dimensional, detailed, perfect for awards, commemoratives, and premium gifts.
Choosing between 2D and 3D pins depends on the look, detail, and impact you want to achieve for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom 3D pins?
Custom 3D pins are metal badges with raised, sculpted surfaces that add depth and texture, giving designs a three-dimensional look.
How are 3D pins manufactured?
3D pins are made using molds created from your design. Metal is pressed into the mold under high pressure for precise, dimensional detail.
What metals are used for 3D pins?
Common metals include brass, zinc alloy, copper, and iron — chosen for durability, detail, and plating quality.
Can 3D pins include color?
Yes — 3D pins can feature soft or hard enamel color fills while preserving dimensional detail.
Do 3D pins require a mold?
Yes — a custom mold is produced once per design before mass production.
Can complex designs be 3D?
Yes — high-resolution detail is possible, but very fine details may require slight simplification for best results.
Can 3D pins have special effects?
Yes — sandblasting, textured areas, and polished highlights enhance visual depth and contrast.
What finishes are available?
Gold, silver, black nickel, antique plating, matte, polished, and more.
Can 3D pins have enamel colors?
Yes — soft or hard enamel fills are popular choices.
Can 3D pins be double-sided?
Yes — double-sided pins show different artwork on each side.
Can 3D pins be glow-in-the-dark?
Yes — glow features and specialty effects can be added.
3D pins vs enamel pins — what’s the difference?
3D pins have sculpted surfaces, while enamel pins are flat with color fills.
3D pins vs die struck pins — which is better?
Use 3D for dimensional detail and depth; use die struck for classic metal contrast.
3D pins vs printed pins — which shows photos better?
Printed pins are better for photos; 3D pins shine on sculpted logos.
Are 3D pins more expensive?
They can be slightly pricier due to mold detail, but they offer premium value.
Do 3D pins show text better?
Yes — raised text stands out clearly in 3D.
Are 3D pins more durable?
Yes — solid metal construction gives durability and longevity.
Can 3D pins include color like enamel?
Yes — soft/hard enamel works well with 3D surfaces.
Can text be raised or recessed?
Yes — 3D pins allow raised, embedded, or recessed text elements.
What’s the recommended size for best detail?
Typically, 25–50 mm is ideal for clear 3D dimensional effects.
Should I avoid gradients?
Yes — gradients are best suited for printed pins; 3D pins use solid color fills.

These pins look SO good! So impressed with the quality of the pins but also with their customer service... they quickly reached out to let me know know my file was not correct, quickly turned around a proof, and even sent a notification email to keep my out for their arrival.

I am a 3rd grade teacher at a Christian school who created a yearlong character-building program for my students called "Footsteps in Faith." The capstone is a special award pin, the Faith Walker pin, given at the end of the year to celebrate their growth and journey. I came to Vivipins to bring it to life.
From the very first interaction, the service was outstanding. My representative, Zoey Mitchell, was patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting every detail right. We went through multiple rounds of proofing, and she guided me through each step with warmth and professionalism. I never felt rushed or like just another order.
As a teacher on a budget, I especially appreciated that there is no minimum order requirement. The pricing was very reasonable, and I never felt pressured to order more than I needed.
The shipping was impressively fast, especially considering this was a fully custom order (enamel pin and backing). When the pins arrived, I was overwhelmed in the best way. The hard enamel colors are absolutely vibrant and rich, even more stunning in person than in the digital proofs. Each pin came already attached to a beautifully designed backing card and individually wrapped, a level of care and presentation that made something already special feel truly extraordinary.
My students are going to be so surprised and delighted when they receive these at the end of the year. Vivipins helped me turn a heartfelt idea into something tangible and beautiful they will treasure.
Zoey and the Vivipins team have earned a customer for life.

Zoey has been great to work with! I reached out not really having any idea what I needed, and she walked me through the whole process and patiently answered all of my questions. We ended up having a tight deadline, and they were able to meet the deadline. We will definitely be ordering from Vivpins again.

Omg, I am absolutely OBSESSED with how this custom patch turned out for my little guy, Ramir! The blue-on-black stitching is so clean and crisp, way better than I expected. Super high quality and looks just like the mock-up. Highly recommend!
