    Posted 3 days ago

    Does anyone have a vendor or two that they can recommend to make custom or semi custom enameled pins?

    David and Josh, thank you for the recommendation. 

    Kurt, there are many enamel processes for lapel pins. For color filling there is soft enamel, resin poly enamel, true cloisonné and a hybrid of an overlay of UV printing over the enamel for areas of your design where a metal border between colors may not work. If you have sample artwork we would be honored to look at it and quote you. You can email it to us at your convenience. Vince@cataniainc.com

    If you look at the three items in the attachment, that is the UV print overlay with soft enamel while the Georgia pin is soft enamel.
