Custom Government Pinsfor City Halls & County Offices
What type of custom government pins will you need?Hard enamel pins are the usual choice when a city or county seal should look like jewelry. Soft enamel pins leave raised metal lines and cost less on larger visitor runs. Die struck UV print and photoscreen pins work when the art has a photograph, a gradient, or more color than enamel can separate. If the event date is close, photoscreen is usually the faster process. What pin size will you need? Most custom government pins land between 0.75" and 1.25". A simple seal can stay smaller. A design with a county name, year, or motto needs more room. Size is measured by the greater of width or height.

Offices use them for staff, visitors, and civic events. What are city government pins?City government pins carry a city seal, city hall mark, or municipal logo. Typical buyers are the clerk, mayor's office, and department heads who need pins for staff and guest packets. What are county government pins?County government pins use the county seal or a department mark. Commissioners, clerks, and county agencies order them for recognition and for visitors who want a county souvenir that is not a tourist skyline pin. Are these official badges or issue insignia?No. These are commemorative and recognition pins. We do not make official law-enforcement badges or regulated insignia. Send the seal file the office is allowed to reproduce. Can you reproduce a city or county seal?Yes, when you supply a clean seal file and confirm the office may use it. Fine seal detail reads better on hard enamel or die struck metal than on a very small soft enamel pin. Do you make public service pins for municipal staff?Yes. Public service pins on this page are city and county staff awards, not first-responder stock pins. Years of service, department names, and Public Service Recognition Week marks are common. What size should custom government pins be?Most land between 0.75" and 1.25". Keep a simple seal closer to 0.75" or 1.00". Add size if the county name, motto, or year has to stay readable. Soft enamel, hard enamel, or printed?Hard enamel is the usual jewelry finish for official seals. Soft enamel costs less on large visitor runs. Photoscreen or UV print is better when the art is a photo or has more colors than enamel can separate cleanly. Is there a minimum order for custom government pins?There is no strict minimum. A sample is available on most styles. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities. How do we start?Send the seal file, city or county name, quantity, and event date through our design request form. We will prepare artwork and pricing for review. |
