These styles are when the pin design is stamped into metal and the color is painted in. This method is the least expensive but also is subject to showing wear and tear. The colors can flake off over time so we suggest putting an epoxy dome on it. This will protect the paint and make the pin last longer. It is the most commonly used method.

Hard Enamel Pins
The hard enamel pins are stamped in the same way as the soft enamel pins but the colors are poured in. They are a powder that melts in the kiln. Because the hard enamel pin color is made of a glass like substance, then fired, it won’t flake.
