- Raise funds for nonprofits
- Reward volunteers and students

What Makes Soft Enamel Pins Different?
Soft enamel pins feature raised metal lines that separate individual enamel colors. The enamel is slightly recessed below the metal surface, creating a textured appearance that many customers prefer.
This manufacturing process allows for:
- Vibrant color reproduction
- Excellent detail
- Durable construction
- Affordable pricing
- A classic custom pin appearance
Soft enamel pins are often chosen when customers want maximum visual impact while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Soft Enamel vs. Hard Enamel Pins
While both styles are excellent choices, there are some important differences:
Soft Enamel Pins
- Raised metal borders
- Textured surface
- Vibrant appearance
- More economical
- Excellent detail reproduction
Hard Enamel Pins
- Smooth polished surface
- Jewelry-quality appearance
- Extremely durable finish
- Premium look and feel
Many organizations choose soft enamel pins because they offer outstanding value while still delivering a professional appearance.
