How Is This Type of Pin Made?
Also known as Screenprint Pins, Silk Screen Pins are crafted without metal borders around each individual color. To begin, a technician applies a smooth base coat to the pins. Then, they press each color through a fine screen, one at a time, using a roller. After each application, they allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding.
We create the artwork with precise dimensions to ensure accurate reproduction, especially when replicating logos or detailed designs. Once we apply all the colors, we add a protective epoxy coat. This final layer gives the pin a glossy finish while protecting the surface from scratches and fading.
How Durable Are Silk Screen Pins?
In terms of durability, these Pins are slightly less robust than Soft Enamel Pins. While the epoxy coating provides a solid surface, the pin backs can break under rough handling. However, with normal use, the protective layer ensures they remain vibrant and attractive for a long time.
Who Uses These Pins?
Silk Screen Pins are a favorite among corporations and sports teams, particularly for use as trading pins. They are ideal for those who require or prefer exact dimensions in the artwork, such as for brand logos or intricate designs.
They also appeal to individuals who prefer a smooth, polished finish without raised metal borders between colors. In addition, these pins offer an economical option, as they are generally more affordable than other pin styles.
Lastly, Silk Screen Pins are perfect for designs that require bright colors with sharp contrasts. They work especially well for clear, legible text, making them an excellent choice for promotional events, team branding, or commemorative purposes.
By combining affordability, precision, and a sleek look, Silk Screen Pins remain a popular option for both businesses and sports teams looking to make a lasting impression.
