How Die Striking Creates a 3D All-Metal Pin with Premium Detail

Die striking is a precision manufacturing process where your custom design is stamped into solid metal under immense pressure, similar to minting a coin. The result is a pin with raised and recessed areas that create a tactile 3D relief of your logo, crest, or artwork.

We polish raised surfaces to a mirror-bright shine while applying a textured or sandblasted finish to recessed areas for contrast. This interplay of light and shadow produces an elegant, sophisticated look that cannot be achieved with flat printing or enamel fills.

Gold, Silver, and Antique Bronze Finishes for Corporate and Military Use

The plating finish you choose sets the tone for your pin's entire personality. Polished gold delivers a modern, premium feel ideal for executive branding and high-achievement awards. Polished silver offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic suited for tech companies and professional associations. Antique bronze or antique gold provides a distinguished, time-honored look favored by military organizations, government agencies, and heritage brands.

We apply each finish to the die struck base after stamping, giving you full control over the final appearance while maintaining the intricate detail of the original design.

Ideal for Service Awards, Military Insignia, and Commemorative Coins

Die struck manufacturing is the preferred choice for applications where understated elegance outperforms bold color. The same precision process we use for pins also produces commemorative challenge coins, making it easy to create a matched set. Common applications include:

  1. Years of service recognition programs with tiered plating finishes.
  2. Corporate anniversary milestones celebrating company heritage.
  3. Military unit challenge coins, government agency badges, and law enforcement emblems.
  4. Professional association and fraternal organization membership insignia.

Our USA facility captures fine lines, small text, and intricate logo details with exceptional precision. We provide a digital proof approval on every order to guarantee accuracy before production begins.

Choose die struck when you want an elegant, all-metal look without color.
