Whether you’re ordering for a brand launch, a school club, a music release, or a corporate event, custom enamel pins in Singapore are one of the most versatile and collectible branded items you can produce. This guide covers everything: types, pricing, MOQ, and exactly how to order from Patch&Bagel.
What Are Custom Enamel Pins?
Enamel pins (also called lapel pins) are metal pins filled with coloured enamel, finished with a backing pin or butterfly clasp. They’re durable, collectible, and instantly recognisable as premium merch. The two main types are hard enamel and soft enamel — and the choice matters.
Hard Enamel vs Soft Enamel Pins: What’s the Difference?
Hard Enamel Pins
Hard enamel pins are polished flush — the metal lines (called metal trapping) sit level with the filled enamel, giving the pin a smooth, glass-like surface. They have a premium, jewellery-like feel and are more resistant to scratches and wear. Best for: professional logos, corporate events, collector pieces.
Soft Enamel Pins
Soft enamel pins have raised metal lines and slightly recessed enamel fill, giving the design a textured, dimensional look. They’re slightly more affordable and allow for very vibrant colour fills. Best for: pop culture designs, character artwork, bold graphics with lots of colour variation.
| Feature | Hard Enamel | Soft Enamel |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | Smooth & polished | Textured & raised |
| Feel | Jewellery-like | Bold & graphic |
| Durability | Very high | High |
| Best for | Logos, corporate, collector | Illustrations, pop culture |
