Soft Enamel Pins VS Hard Enamel Pins
Choosing soft enamel or hard enamel pins is all about:
● Finish texture: Soft enamel pins have a textured finish with raised metal edges. Hard enamel pins have a flat and smooth finish.
● Method: Metal plating for soft enamel pins happens before the enamel is applied. That allows unique metal finishes and more line and visual details not applicable to hard enamel pins.
● Visual appeal: The raised edges of soft enamel pins have a unique visual appeal compared to the hard enamel’s clean-looking standard finish.
● Production cost: Soft enamel pins are slightly cheaper to make.

Thinking Custom Lapel Pins? Here’s Why Hard Enamel is the Best Option
Hard enamel pins (also known as cloisonné pins) offer a jewelry-quality finish. They are die-struck, overfilled with colored enamel, and polished to create a smooth, flush surface. Unlike soft enamel pins, they do not have a textured feel. Sometimes referred to as hard enamel badges, these jewelry-quality pins can be affixed anywhere, like a collar, backpack, or lapel. When you choose WowCustomPins as your (hard enamel pin manufacturer), you can also order magnetic backings for uses where the traditional nail/clutch will not do the trick.
Depending on the size of your custom enamel pin or custom pin order, the enamel will either be filled by hand or machine. For bulk orders of more than 5,000 pieces, they’ll often be filled by machine to achieve a fast turnaround. Keep in mind that especially small details can be tricky to see on hard enamel pins; consider soft enamel or print-on-demand pins if your design is intricate. For example, if your design is a photo, you would be better suited to order printed pins.

· Quality Just Like Jewelry: Customers who opt for hard enamel pins want the best in every aspect. The art and technique of making hard enamel pins are the same as when making jewelry and other items like decorative vases. That’s why they have an extra eye appeal that everyone loves.
· Durability in a Smooth Glossy Finish: When making hard enamel pins, a die is used to strike the metal base before cutting the shape of the pin. Powdered glass, turned into a paste, is used to fill recessed areas of your design before baking the pin at high temperatures, allowing the color to harden and temper evenly. Once the desired effect is achieved, the pin is polished to give it a smooth and glossy look. This entire process is also what makes hard enamel pins more durable.
· Giving Value to Your Corporate Identity: Hard enamel pins are around 20% thicker than other types, giving them a professional look and perceived higher value. This executive look makes them great promotional items, delivering a unique corporate identity. Hard enamel pins are also your best choice when value and quality are the most desired features, as with exemplary service recognition pins or keepsake anniversary pins.
· Quality Before Cost: Many customers shy away from hard enamel pins because they’ve heard they cost more than soft enamel pins. While that is true, you should consider that more work is put into creating hard enamel pins, giving them better quality. Nonetheless, WowCustomPins saves you the trouble of choosing between quality and affordability. We deliver your order at the most pocket-friendly cost.

Frequently asked questions
A hard enamel pin is a type of enamel pin where colored enamel is filled into the recessed areas of the metal design and then polished flat so that the enamel and metal edges are completely smooth and even.
The colors are added layer by layer, then baked at a high temperature to harden.
After baking, the pin surface is polished until both the metal and enamel are perfectly level.
Hard enamel pins are durable, scratch-resistant, and have a premium, high-quality feel.
Enamel itself is hard once it dries and bakes — whether it’s used in soft enamel pins or hard enamel pins.
The difference is in the surface texture, not the actual hardness of the material.
Soft enamel pins:
The enamel sits lower than the raised metal lines.
You can feel the metal edges if you touch the pin (textured surface).
Hard enamel pins:
The enamel is polished flat until it’s even with the metal.
The pin feels smooth and solid on top.
Hard enamel is a type of colored material (usually a resin or glass-based pigment) used to fill the recessed areas of metal pins. After it’s applied, it is baked at high heat until it becomes solid and hard, then polished smooth so it’s level with the metal.
It’s also called “cloisonné” (especially in traditional jewelry and high-end pins).
Once hardened and polished, it creates a glossy, smooth, and very durable finish.
It’s scratch-resistant, long-lasting, and looks super professional.
No, enamel is not as hard as steel.
While enamel becomes very hard and durable after it’s baked, it’s still not as strong or tough as steel.
Steel is a metal — extremely strong, tough, and flexible under pressure.
Enamel (whether soft or hard enamel) is more like a hard, glassy coating — strong against scratches, but it can chip or crack if hit really hard.
No, hard enamel is not metal.
Hard enamel is a colored, glass-like material (made from powdered glass or resin) that is baked and hardened inside the recessed areas of a metal pin.
The pin base is made of metal (like iron, brass, or zinc alloy).
The hard enamel is the smooth, colorful part that fills the design.
