Custom Printed Pins- UV Print, Offset Print & Full Color OptionsCustom printed pins from Metro Pins deliver full-color designs that enamel alone cannot always match. Choose from UV print, offset print, and related full-color styles so your custom printed pins match the artwork, not the other way around. Free artwork and free shipping are included. Why Choose Custom Printed Pins?Custom printed pins are the right call when your artwork needs full color, photographs, gradients, or more detail than enamel can separate cleanly. UV print puts that color onto die struck metal with raised and recessed detail. Offset print (photoscreen) is ideal for flatter full-color designs and is produced much more quickly than enamel or UV print, which makes it a strong option when timing matters. Custom Printed Pin Styles
DIE STRUCK UV PRINT PINS:
Full-color UV ink printed onto die struck metal and cured with ultraviolet light.
Best when you need photos, gradients, or complex color on a pin that still has raised and recessed metal detail.
A strong choice when traditional enamel would force design compromises. Deluxe Offset Print Heavy Offset Print Photo Enamel Hybrid Custom Printed Pin QuestionsWhat are custom printed pins?Custom printed pins are metal lapel pins that use a printing process for full-color artwork. Metro Pins offers UV print on die struck metal, standard offset print, deluxe and heavy offset options, and photo enamel hybrid pins that combine enamel with a printed insert. What is the difference between UV print and offset print?UV printing applies inkjet ink cured with ultraviolet light and can follow raised and recessed detail on die struck pins. Offset print is typically used on flatter metal surfaces for photos, gradients, and complex logos. Both deliver full color; the base metal structure is the main difference. When should I choose UV printed pins?Choose UV when you want full color on a dimensional die struck pin, or when the design has gradients, soft transitions, or more detail than enamel can separate cleanly. Simple two- or three-color designs often still look better in enamel. When should I choose offset print pins?Offset print pins are a strong fit for photographs, gradients, and detailed logos on a printed metal surface. Deluxe and heavy versions add thickness and a more substantial feel when you need more than a standard photoscreen pin. What is a photo enamel hybrid pin?A photo enamel hybrid pin combines soft enamel color with a smaller full-color printed insert. Part of the design is classic enamel; part is print, so you can mix solid enamel areas with photos or fine detail in one pin. Is there a minimum order for custom printed pins?There is no strict minimum. A single sample is available on most styles, so you can order the quantity you need. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities. Do you provide free artwork?Yes. We prepare free digital artwork for custom printed pin orders and will recommend the process that best matches your design before production starts. How do I start a custom printed pin order?Submit your artwork, preferred style if you have one, quantity, and timing through our design request form. We will confirm process options, pricing, and schedule.
