Pin type
Spinner pins
A pin built with an element mounted on a rivet so it rotates in place — usually a logo, a puck or a ball.
A spinner is a construction choice, not a component added to a finished pin. It changes the tooling, so it is quoted at its own per-pin price: on one 2.5-inch soft enamel order at 250 pieces, $3.44 per pin standard against $4.09 per pin as a spinner.
The rotating element needs solid metal around its anchor point. Round, chunky, central shapes spin; delicate outlying ones do not.
