Frequently Asked Questions

What is your minimum order quantity? The minimum is 50 pins per design. Smaller runs are possible but include a surcharge.
How long does production take? Standard production is 20–27 business days after proof approval. Stock‑shape rush service delivers in 7–12 business days.
Which artwork formats work best? Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are preferred for optimal clarity. High‑resolution PNG/JPEG (300 dpi) also works for printed or etched designs.
Do you provide design help? Yes—our in‑house design package is $150 and includes up to three revisions plus a digital proof for approval.
Can I combine different platings in one order? Absolutely. Dual or mixed plating is available for a small upcharge—just mention it in your quote request.
What attachment should I choose? Butterfly clutches are standard. Choose locking or screw‑backs for heavier pins, or magnets if you prefer not to pierce fabric.
Will I see a proof before production starts? Yes. We email a digital proof for your sign‑off. Production begins only after approval.
How are the pins packaged? Each pin ships in an individual poly bag by default. Upgrade to custom cards, velvet pouches, or gift boxes for enhanced presentation.
Do you ship internationally? Yes—worldwide via insured courier. Delivery times and costs vary by destination.
What factors influence the final cost? Quantity, pin size, plating type, number of enamel colors, attachments, packaging choices, rush fees, and design services all affect pricing.
