General

As we’ve been established for over ten years, we’ve earned a reputation as one of the leading pin-makers for design, quality and value.

We’ve made pins for over 1,000 schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, societies, sports teams, municipal programs and blue-chip corporate companies. From Blackbird Clothing and Hacker Stickers to the Rotary Youth Exchange and the Pan African Network, there’s barely a corner of America that’s not worn one of our pins.

You can trust us completely, as no other pin company offers our unique custom designs, service that goes the extra mile, top quality and a Total Satisfaction guarantee.

We’re excited about working with you to create your top quality lapel pins, so ask for a price now using the Quote form or call us on 1-888-746-5013.

Every pin is manufactured to the highest quality and we go to extreme lengths to make sure your pins reach you in perfect condition.

Every order is checked over before it goes out and we carry out spot checks giving random samples a detailed inspection by hand to make absolutely sure you’ll be delighted. However, if you have any concerns at all, please call us on 1-888-746-5013 within 7 days. We would far rather have the chance to put things right than to lose you as a customer.

The first step is to get a price from us, which is free and no-obligation. Just use our Quote Form or call us on 1-888-746-5013.

If you’d like to go ahead, we’ll ask you about the pin you need – who will be wearing it, whether it’s for an event or to sell, what the pin is celebrating or commemorating,  the image you want to portray, corporate colors, and anything else relevant.

Then we’ll create a high quality, unique artwork, and send you a proof so you can see exactly what your finished pin will look like, including any extra enhancements you ask for such as spinners, danglers, or glitter.

From those first design options, let us know which one you like and if you have any amends or other feedback. We will also ask for your corporate logo artwork.

When you and your colleagues are completely happy with the design, simply approve the proof. You’ll also need to confirm how you would like us to package your pins, as we offer a range of options from boxes to bags to presentation cases.

We’ll let you know when your pins will be delivered – usually between 4 days and 3 weeks depending on the type of pin you order. Standard shipping is free, but if you need your pins faster, let us know and we can arrange an overnight courier for a small additional cost.

If you have any queries, we’re always happy to take a call on 1-888-746-5013 or you can get in touch us by email at help@lapelpins.net.

The more pins you order, the lower the price, so we always recommend ordering a few more pins than you need just to make sure. Our minimum order is 100, and you get a saving when you order 500 or more and another discount when you order 2,000 or more. It’s so much cheaper to order all in one go than having to place a re-order.

If you are a large organization ordering 20,000 or more please get in touch to discuss even larger volume discounts and trade ordering terms.

Yes we can. Firstly our price promise guarantee means that you can’t get lower prices anywhere else.

Secondly, when money is tight, we can help you make choices that could save you money without compromising on quality. For example, stock shapes cost less than a cut-out shape, but can look just as good.  Making your pin size a little smaller can also reduce the price, and being more flexible in your timings can also help. Talk to us about your constraints and we’ll do our best to help.

It can seem like a daunting task getting everyone’s agreement. That’s why it’s important to work with a firm like us that specializes in high quality, original design work.

Everything is customized and we don’t use templates, so our experienced designers can provide artwork that keeps everyone happy. We listen carefully to your needs so that we have a good idea of the image your pin needs to project.

We’ll often produce a few different options, and often one of them is the favorite right from the start. If it’s not, we keep on making changes until we get a winner. Then we send you a proof which shows exactly what your pin will look like.

If you don’t need design work, but simply a rendition of your logo, our designers will make sure it’s accurate to the minutest detail.  You can rely on our experience and the fact that  we’ve produced 35,000 different pin designs in the last ten years.
