Custom heavy offset print pins (a.k.a., heavy photoscreen pins) from Metro Pins are full-color printed pins built on a thicker metal base. You get the same photographic detail and gradients, with noticeably more weight and a more substantial feel in the hand.
Heavy offset print pins are over 50% thicker than normal offset print pins and are comparable in weight to 1.2mm soft enamel pins!
All the benefits (full color and great detail) of photoscreen and the hefty feel of soft enamel!
Offset print pins (also known as photo screen, screenprint, silkscreen, offset print or photo-etched) are the most versatile.
To recreate a design exactly, a heavy offset print pin is best.
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 color.
Heavy offset print pins are perfect pins for complex logos, photos and designs that incorporate gradients (color fades).
Almost any artwork can be produced on a photo screen pin.
The final pin has a heavy feel, a smooth and clear epoxy coating and is full color and detail.
2.00" and larger pins have two 8mm spur nails on the back, while smaller pins have one.
Note: Heavy photoscreen pins are printed using CMYK color process which is not quite as vibrant as the RGB color you will see on your computer screen or phone.

Custom Heavy Offset Print Pin Questions
How are heavy offset print pins different from regular offset print pins?
Custom heavy offset print pins use a thicker metal base - about 50% thicker than standard offset print pins. The printed detail is the same; the extra thickness simply adds weight and a more solid feel.
When should I choose heavy offset print pins?
Choose them when you want full-color detail (photos, gradients, complex logos) plus a more substantial pin that feels closer in weight to a soft enamel pin.
Do heavy offset print pins still show fine detail and photographs clearly?
Yes. The printing process is the same as standard offset print pins. The only change is the thicker metal blank underneath the print and epoxy.
Is there a minimum order for custom heavy offset print pins?
There is no strict minimum. A single sample is available, so you can order the quantity you need. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities.

Yes. We prepare free digital artwork for every custom heavy offset print pin order and will adjust the design as needed for clean printed results.
