Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom die struck pins?
Die struck pins are metal pins made by stamping your design into a metal sheet, creating raised and recessed areas for a classic, all-metal look.
How are die struck pins made?
A steel die (mold) is made from your design and used to strike (stamp) metal under pressure, forming the pin.
What metals are used for die struck pins?
Common options include brass, copper, iron, and zinc alloy, each offering different weight and finish.
Can die struck pins include enamel color?
Yes — while classic die struck pins have no color, you can add soft or hard enamel fills if you want color accents.
What finishes are available?
Finishes include polished gold, silver, copper, antique plating, black nickel, and more.
Is sandblasting available?
Yes — recessed areas can be sandblasted to enhance contrast and depth.
Can I use gradients or photos?
Traditional die struck pins don’t use color gradients; printed or offset pins are better for photo-realistic designs.
Is there a minimum line thickness?
Most factories require a minimum line height to ensure detail holds up under die striking.
What artwork file do I need to submit?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for clarity, but high-resolution images can also work.
Should small details be avoided?
Yes — very fine lines or tiny text may not strike cleanly; simpler designs tend to work best.
Should text be outlined or filled?
It’s best to outline text in metal rather than rely on tiny color fills for readability.
Can I add color?
Traditional die struck pins are metal only, but color fills are possible if requested.
What finishes are available?
Options include polished metal, antique plating, matte, sandblasted finishes, and more.
Can I get antique look pins?
Yes — antique gold, antique silver, and other antiqued platings are popular.
Can I choose texture options?
You can select sandblasted or textured recesses for contrast.
Can I mix finishes in one order?
Usually yes — different finishes can be applied to different designs.
Die struck vs die cast — what’s the difference?
Die struck uses stamping for a classic metal look, while die cast uses molten metal injection for complex shapes.
Die struck vs soft enamel — which is better?
Soft enamel adds color and texture; die struck is more minimalist and classic.
Die struck vs hard enamel — which lasts longer?
Hard enamel is very durable with a smooth finish; die struck focuses on metal contrast.
Do die struck pins cost less than enamel?
Usually yes — fewer steps and no color fills can lower cost.
Are die struck pins simpler to design?
Generally yes — no enamel color separations make setup easier.
Are die struck pins better for text-heavy designs?
Are die struck pins better for text-heavy designs?
How do I clean die struck pins?
Use a soft, dry cloth — avoid chemicals.

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.
