Custom Military Pins

Custom Military Pin Questions

What counts as a custom military pin?

A pin made to branch, command, or years-of-service art. Custom unit pins and unit crest pins fall in the same group when the design is a company, squadron, ship, or platoon mark.

Can you reproduce an official unit crest?

We manufacture from the artwork the unit submits. Use marks the command is authorized to reproduce.

Hard enamel or soft enamel for custom unit pins?

Hard enamel if you want a flush, jewelry face. Soft enamel if raised metal lines should stay visible. Both are common on custom military pins.

What size should a unit crest pin be?

Most custom unit pins are 0.75" to 1.25". Go as small as 0.50" only when the crest is simple.

Should we order pins or challenge coins?

Pins go on a jacket or cap. Coins are handed as a challenge piece. Many commands order both from the same art. See our custom challenge coins page if you need the coin.

Is there a minimum order?

No strict minimum. A sample is available on most styles. One larger run is cheaper than several small command orders.

How do we start?

Send crest art, branch or unit name, size, quantity, and needed date through our design request form. We return artwork and pricing.
