Photo Etched Lapel Pins:

An Economical Solution

When you want a look similar to soft enamel pins or Cloisonne pins, but with a more economical price, photo etched lapel pins are an excellent solution. Made from a thinner plate of metal that is suitable for etching, these pins offer the advantages of color with the affordability many budgets require.

An image of your design is transferred from a photographic negative onto the surface of the metal. Your design is then etched into the brass using an acid-reaction process. All the acids and other impurities are carefully rinsed off. The indentations are then filled with the enamel colors. Colors are inserted by hand, one at a time, using different sized syringes. The sheet of metal is then fired at 450°F until cured.

Pins are then cut out of the sheet according to your custom design. Non-colored (raised) sections of the pin are then plated to a shiny gold finish. An optional epoxy protective coating (dome) can then be applied to protect the color enamels from fading or cracking over time.
