0:05 Intro: Welcome to the Customer Resource Center informational video on Die Struck Lapel Pins.

0:11 Die Struck:

• Die-struck lapel pins have the classic lapel pin look, featuring raised and recessed metal

0:20 Dimensions and Textures:

• Die-struck lapel pins are perfect for representing a multitude of sandblasted textures to add extra complexity to your lapel pin.

0:30 Making the Lapel Pin:

• Our lapel pin sizes are measured by their longest side. 

• This lapel pin for example, is 1.5”

0:42 Plating Options:

• Once the lapel pin is die struck into the custom shape to accommodate the requested design, it is then electroplated with a surface coat of metal that you choose.

• There are seven plating options to choose from. Three are available for free, and the other four will require an additional cost. 

• Gold| Nickel | Copper are the three options included in the cost.

• Dyed Black | Antique Gold | Antique Silver | Antique Copper is an additional run charge per pin.

1:17 Backing Options:

• Choice of six backing options

• Butterfly Clutch | Rubber Clutch

• These two options are included in the cost

• Butterfly Clutch, also known as Military Clutch, is the default backing option.

• Rubber Clutch is often used when the back of the pin is going to touch skin

• Safety Pin Backing | Tie Tack Backing | Magnet Backing | Extra Butterfly Clutch

• These backing options incur an additional run charge.

• Safety pin backing keeps the pin in place and prevents it from spinning.

• Tie-Tack backing, commonly known as a jewelry clutch, is one of the most secure backing choices. It is a lock backing that holds the pin in place and can only be removed by releasing the spring.

• Another common backing type is magnet backing, often used to prevent holes in clothing. 

• An extra butterfly clutch is used when the pin is too large or off balance to give it stability.

2:44 Packaging Options:

• All of our lapel pins come individually polybagged.

• Other options are available for an additional cost.

• Acrylic boxes, which are available in a variety of sizes.

• We offer fully customizable backing cards with single or multiple pins attached. Quotes are given upon request.
