Custom Recognition Pins

Custom recognition pins mark service, membership, ceremony, and cause. Metro Pins builds them for employee milestone programs, military units, nursing schools, fraternity and sorority chapters, and awareness campaigns. The pin is meant to be worn after it is given, so the finish and the mark have to hold up.

Custom employee recognition pins are ordered for years of service, promotions, safety awards, and retirement. Most programs keep one logo and outline, then change the year, stone, or color as people hit the next milestone. Hard enamel is the usual finish when the pin should look like jewelry. Soft enamel and die struck are used when the budget or the artwork calls for them. Send the logo, quantity, and date through our design request form and we will prepare artwork and pricing.

What kind of pin to get?  Custom recognition pins are almost exclusively hard enamel pins, soft enamel pins, or die struck pins.  Die struck UV print is the better choice when the art has fine detail or the date is close.  Compare hard enamel and soft enamel pins.

About Custom Service Pins

Years of service pins, award pins, and employee recognition pins for milestone programs. Hard enamel is the usual finish. Year numerals and gemstones can mark 5, 10, 15, and later. One mold can possibly cover several years when only a stone, color or UV printed numeral changes.
