Offset Printed Pins
Offset printed lapel pins stand apart from all the other pin styles we offer. While the differences between soft and hard enamel pins are subtle at times, the perfect detail of an offset printed design is recognizable right away. By incorporating a photographic image into your design, offset printed pins capture every aspect of your artwork with unrivaled accuracy.
 
Traditional soft enamel pins and smooth cloisonne pins are excellent choices for anyone looking for a company logo pin or jewelry-quality emblem design, but if you need to capture a person’s likeness or a realistic scene in your artwork, offset printed pins are the way to go.
It’s called “offset” printing because the actual ink of the photograph is not applied directly to the pins. The small photo prints are created on a rubber blanket and then rolled onto the pins. From there, the images are sealed in place with a layer of clear epoxy. At the end of this process, you get a picture-perfect design.

While many of the photo printed lapel pins we help create only have an offset printed photograph making up the design, there are ways to mix and match offset printing with soft enamel or cloisonne designs. This gives you the best of both worlds, resulting in a truly one of a kind pin design.

Mixing Offset Printed Designs with Soft Enamel and Cloisonne

Whether you have a photograph in mind or you need help coming up with a unique design to offset print onto a set of custom lapel pins, we’ve got you covered. While a design that’s entirely lent over to an offset image will have incredible detail, embellishing the artwork with a soft or hard enamel frame can help the design shine even brighter.

Just like a painting or a family photo on the mantel benefits from an intricate frame, so too does an offset pin. Using a soft enamel border around the offset printed photograph is a great way to accentuate the artwork and add labels or emblems that are not included in the image.
Soft enamel designs are well suited for incorporating text or colorful borders, but the jewelry quality and smooth texture of a cloisonne design melds perfectly with the seamless epoxy coating used on photo pins. Choosing between the two is a matter of personal preference, but if you aren’t sure which one you like best, be sure to let us know. Our sales team will be happy to offer advice based on our years of experience, as well as provide more examples for you to peruse.
