Custom Soft Enamel Pins
Custom soft enamel pins keep enamel below raised metal borders, producing a tactile texture and visible depth. This process suits bold outlines, separated color areas and artwork that uses the metal linework as part of the design.
- Surface: Raised metal above recessed enamel
- Best for: Bold outlines, separated color areas and artwork that uses visible depth
- Project-specific approved plating
- Butterfly, rubber or approved attachment
- Individual bag or approved backing card
For a soft enamel order, pricing depends on the artwork, finished size, quantity, plating, attachment, packing and delivery destination. For bulk soft enamel pins, list each design with its quantity, finished size, colors, plating, attachment and packing requirement.
Recessed enamel with raised metal linework.
Soft enamel keeps the metal outlines physically higher than the filled color cells. The recessed enamel and raised plated lines create tactile texture and visible depth, making this process suitable for artwork that depends on bold outlines, separated color fields and a dimensional face.
Hard enamel is polished level. Soft enamel deliberately keeps the height difference, so the linework becomes part of both the appearance and feel of the finished pin. Fine details, narrow color areas and small text still need to remain workable at the intended finished size.
Use metal linework to create visible depth.

What are custom soft enamel pins?
Custom soft enamel pins place enamel in recessed color cells below raised metal borders. The height difference creates visible depth and a tactile surface.
Which designs suit soft enamel pins?
Soft enamel suits artwork with bold outlines, separated color areas and metal linework that should remain visible and tactile. Choose hard enamel when the design needs a completely level face.
How are soft enamel pins different from hard enamel pins?
Soft enamel leaves the metal lines above the color. Hard enamel is filled and polished until the enamel and metal borders finish at the same level.
Which production details matter for a soft enamel order?
Send artwork that identifies the finished shape, size, recessed color areas and raised linework, along with plating, attachment, packing, quantity and delivery destination.
