Soft Enamel Custom Trading Pins - A Great Balance Of Performance And Price

Custom lapel pins are available in a variety of styles to suit just about any budget and performance need. By far the most popular style for trading pins is soft enamel.

Trading pins are enormously popular in youth sports, especially youth league baseball. The custom pins trade by the thousands at games and tournaments across the land every year.

Soft enamel custom pins are the most popular choice for trading pins because they offer a high-quality look and a long-lasting, durable design. The die-struck designs create ridges and valleys that are filled by hand with colored enamels. Much like more expensive cloisonne lapel pins, the die-struck style allows for outstanding color separation. The pins look like costly cloisonne, but can be purchased at a significantly lower cost.

Unlike other styles, soft enamel offers a rugged pin design that can stand up to repeated carrying and trading, and the occasional rough handling that young players can subject them to. They are scratch-resistant and don't fade.

Soft enamel pins have become so ubiquitous in Little League Baseball that they almost qualify as legal currency at the annual Little League World Series, held each August in Pennsylvania. Thousands of players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators join in the pin trading frenzy each summer.

Of course, soft enamel pins don't fit every need or budget. Any reputable supplier of custom trading pins will offer several styles. Offset digital printed and photo etched pins can be the solution for teams on a tight budget or those that need to reproduce a photo image. Others may choose cloisonne, die-struck or silk-screened custom pins.

Soft enamel trading pins offer an outstanding balance between price and performance that hits the sweet spot of trading pin design. They can be crafted to represent just about any team in any sport.
