Overcoming Design Limits: Offset Printed Pins with Epoxy Domes
Enamel pins are designed for bold, solid-color artwork with distinct color separations. If your design includes gradients, shadows, fine photographic detail, or more colors than enamel can accommodate, offset printed photo pins are the right solution. The CMYK printing process handles unlimited colors and reproduces every nuance of your original image with photorealistic precision.
Photo pins are the go-to choice for memorial tributes, team photos, detailed mascot illustrations, scenic imagery, and any logo or artwork that relies on subtle color transitions rather than flat color blocks. The protective epoxy dome seals the printed surface, adding scratch resistance, UV protection, and a glossy premium finish.
How Custom Photo Pins Are Made: CMYK Printing, Die Cutting, and Epoxy Sealing
- High-Resolution CMYK Printing. Your approved image is printed in full color using an advanced offset process directly onto a metal pin base.
- Die Cutting. The pin is cut to your specified shape, whether a standard circle, rectangle, or a custom die-cut outline that follows your image's contours.
- Epoxy Dome Coating. A clear, durable resin dome is applied over the printed surface, sealing the image and providing scratch resistance, UV protection, and a glossy premium finish.
- Backing and Packaging. Your choice of pin backing (butterfly clutch, rubber, or magnetic) is attached, and each pin is individually packaged for distribution.
Custom Photo Pins for Memorials, Keepsakes, and Personal Tributes
Memorial photo pins offer a deeply personal way to honor and remember a loved one. Worn at celebrations of life, memorial services, family reunions, or every day, these pins keep a cherished image close. They also serve as meaningful tribute pieces for organizations honoring fallen members, retired leaders, or community figures.
Beyond memorials, custom photo pins are popular for wedding favors, graduation gifts, pet remembrance pieces, and personalized gifts that carry real emotional significance. Every pin captures a moment that matters.
Artwork and File Requirements for the Sharpest Offset Printed Pin Results
For the best print quality, submit your image at 300 DPI or higher in formats such as TIFF, PSD, PNG, or high-quality JPG. Vector files (AI, EPS) are also accepted and produce the sharpest possible results. Low-resolution images may appear pixelated on the finished pin, so always provide the highest quality file available. Our design team will review your submission and advise if any adjustments are needed before production.
