The silkscreen process offers the best solution for your pin when your designs require precise, color-on-color detailing. Generally speaking, silkscreen printing is also named as solid color printing and each block or area with only one color involved. Silkscreen printing can be made as many colors as your wish and the colors can be matched with nominated Pantone numbers. Same as offset printing, we’ll print your motif on the metal and then die cut each piece.
Whenever your order is shipped, a shipping advise will be sent to you the same day with all the information concerning this shipment as well as the tracking number.
Offset printing is also named 4 color process printing (Cyan / Magenta/ Yellow & K-Black), no matter how many colors involved in the art, we charge the printing set up fee for 4 colors if there is no metal border left on the edge or 5 colors if metal border is necessary on the edge, the extra one is for white background color. Generally speaking, if the pins must be made by offset printing, there should be no PMS numbers instruction because we will use CMYK to present the colors. Offset printed lapel pins are perfect for designs that contain gradient colors. We’ll print your motif on the metal and then die cut each piece.

Imitation hard enamel is invented in early 1990 and also named Soft cloisonne or synthetic cloisonne. It would be filled into the stamped metal first, and have polishing and electroplating afterwards. It is hard to tell the difference between real hard enamel and imitation hard enamel colors, but if you stab the color parts with knife point, imitation hard enamel colors will get visible marks, however real hard enamel colors won't because hard enamel colors are as hard as tiles.

Yes, but there are several strong technical aspects that make the process of combining Iron and Synthetic Enamel very costly and fairly incompatible.
First, Iron is the cheapest material and is commonly used to get a product of a lower quality at a inexpensive price. On the other hand, Synthetic Enamel is the colouring material of the highest quality. Obviously, the combination of the two is contradictory.
Secondly, let's focus on the technical aspects:
On one hand, Iron is a very dense material. As moulds used to process stamping are made in high tensile steal, it is very easy to damage the mould during process. As a consequence, iron cannot be stamped very deeply at risk of damaging the mould.
On the other hand, Synthetic Enamel requires deeper recess. The deeper, the better. Why? Because the polishing process is different from Soft Enamel. Items processed with Synthetic Enamel are polished with stone. Polishing with stone gives the shiny aspect and levels the colors with the "cloisons" (Cloisonne) to make them even by removing the excess paint. For this reason, the use of Synthetic Enamel requires heavy stamping.
Finally, polishing items coloured with Synthetic Enamel requires rinsing with water to remove particles and protect the item from heating. As a result, the iron tends to rust and give unsatisfactory results.

The CMYK printing is based on 4 colors of reference: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. But the high definition of this process relies on the fact that these 4 colors are printed on a “white” background. In the case where the printing fits exactly to the outside cutting, the white colour covers the whole surface. But if a metal boarder must appear, we will need an additional frame to define the surface to print in white, which will be smaller than the outside cutting.
The most accurate way is with a pair of calipers, especially if it's a smaller spring. The next best is a sliding rule.
Please call us and we will endeavor to resolve the situation, by either refund or re-make.

Need multi color imprints design? Dye sublimated lanyards are for you! Dye sublimation technology uses heat sensitive paper to transfer print onto the lanyards that can carry fine lines, intricate logos and multiple colors on the fabric. Another advantage of dye sublimation over hot stamping and screen printing is that the imprint does not sit on the surface of the material, but gets transferred into the material. So it is less likely to become scraped and worn.
The starting lanyard material for dye sublimation is always white polyester. The "ground" or base lanyard color as well as the imprint are applied during the transfer "sublimation" process. It should be considered for anyone who requires more than one imprint color on both sides. The choice of fabric colors is virtually unlimited, and it is the best choice for photo quality and no-edge printing. Also it's not that expensive as you may think it to be, it can be the most economical method for multi-color imprints on large quantities.
Our dye sublimated lanyards are available in 5/8", 3/4", and 1" widths at our standard 36" length. Due to the set-up requirements dye sublimated lanyards tend to have higher minimum purchase quantities than the other imprint methods, typically around 100 pcs. And we can not supply rush service, which usually needs 7-10 days for production.

First of all, Silkscreen and Offset printing do not refer to the same colour guides. Silkscreen printing is done refering to the Pantone (or HKS) color reference. On the other hand, Offset printing refers to the CMYK color reference.
Secondly, the two processes are used for different purposes; Silkscreen will be used for artworks with non-gradient printing, while Offset printing will be used for artwork with gradient colors printing (example: a photo picture)
Thirdly, the painting colors used for Silkscreen printing is thicker than the one used for Offset printing. Offset printing uses painting colors that are more liquid to get thinner grain and detailed definition.

The major differences between these three colouring materials will be in terms of aspect and quality:
Synthetic Enamel: will probably be the best material to render bright and flashy colors. Furthermore, the process used enables to give a shiny aspect. Finally, the colors will be leveled even with the metal boarders. The front-side surface of the item will be totally flat.
Hard Enamel: distinguishes itself from Soft and Synthetic Enamel. In its primary aspect, Hard Enamel is in powder. It liquefies whenever it is baked. Although the colors will not render as well as Soft and Synthetic Enamel, Hard Enamel will last hundred of year without changing or being scratched.
Soft Enamel: is generally used for products of lower quality. It can be recognized easily, as the colors will be in recess compared to the boarders. The boarders will distinctly appear on a first plan.
