💡 Quick Summary (TL;DR):
This guide details three major metal lapel pin processes: Soft Enamel for a dimensional look and best value; Imitation Hard Enamel for a premium smooth finish suitable for VIP gifts; and Offset Printing for complex gradient logos. We recommend Magnet Backings to protect business attire. Primarily made from Zinc Alloy or Brass with durable, rust-resistant plating.
Metal Lapel Pins are not just accessories; they are a symbol of corporate identity. Whether used for employee recognition, brand identification at exhibitions, or commemorative pins for schools and clubs, a high-quality metal badge can instantly enhance group cohesion and professionalism.
