Photo / Screen

Photo screen pins (also known as screenprint, offset print, silkscreen or photo-etched) are the most versatile. To recreate a design exactly, a photo screen pin is best choice.

Photo screen pins allow a logo or design to be recreated, down to the smallest detail, without the need for fine gold or silver metal separating lines around each of the colors.
