Photochemical machining (PCM) or Photo etching is a chemical milling process. This process can produce highly detailed pieces of artwork with very fine accuracy. Photo etching is a cost-saving method compared to stamping, punching, laser or water jet cutting.
Photo Etched Pins are perfect for highly complex designs(without shadows or gradients). They also come with a wide range of available color selections. Additionally, these pins weigh less than other types of pins because they are made thinner. This can be a benefit for larger pin designs! Alternatively, if you wish to add shadows or gradients to your design, we suggest looking into offset printed pins.

We ask that you give as much detail as possible in an effort to help our designers to better envision your idea.
For last minute orders, we recommend Photo Etched or Silk Screen pins, as these are produced much more quickly than other options.
Soft Enamel fillings add to production time, so please be aware that this can affect your receiving date.
