What Makes a High-Quality Lapel Pin?

Not all lapel pins are made the same. Whether it’s for a company event, a collector's item, or a gift, quality matters. Here's what to look for when judging the quality of a custom lapel pin: 1. Crisp, Clean Detailing

A good pin has sharp lines, even in small designs. Letters should be clear and not smudged. At Seal Crest, we use die-stamping to ensure every detail is precise.

2. Smooth Enamel Finish

High-quality enamel should be smooth and evenly filled. We offer both hard and soft enamel finishes—each with its own texture and shine, depending on your style.

3. Strong Metal Base

We typically use brass or iron for durability. A solid base means the pin won’t bend or break easily.

4. Good Plating

From gold and silver to antique finishes, plating should be even and resistant to fading. We offer a variety of high-quality plating options for different looks.

5. Secure Backing

The back matters too! A high-quality pin has a secure clasp or clutch so it stays in place, whether it’s on a suit, a bag, or a hat.
