Lapel Pins
A lapel pin is a small, discreet pin worn on the lapel of a suit, jacket or uniform. We make them slim (1.2mm thick), small (12-25mm) and offer magnetic backs that don’t pierce fabric — preferred by hospitality and corporate clients.
What makes a great lapel pins.
Lapel pins differ from promotional pins in three ways: smaller, slimmer, and dressier. The base metal is usually brass with a high-grade gold, silver or rose-gold plating that won’t tarnish under daily wear.
Magnetic backs are increasingly preferred for hospitality and uniform programs — they hold securely through normal motion but don’t leave a permanent hole in the fabric. The trade-off is they cost about $0.40 more per pin than butterfly clutch.
For boardroom-tier executive gifts we recommend hard enamel on rose-gold-plated brass, presented in a small black velvet box — total perceived value around $25-50 retail at our $1.50/pc cost.
