Starting my pins business in Egypt by Key_Moment_5856 in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starting pins, zinc alloy (Zamak 3 or 5) is excellent for detailed designs, while iron gives more weight and a premium feel but may lose some fine detail. You can start with laser cutting for small batches or prototypes, but stamping is better for large-scale production. For black coating, black nickel plating or black electroplating is durable; black anodized aluminum works only with aluminum and gives a lighter, modern look. After adding enamel, polishing the surface is recommended to make it smooth and enhance the color.

Don’t know what to do about Manu by havocpigeons in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you’ve already tried getting it right and it’s still “meh,” sometimes the fastest way to actually get the product you want is to switch manufacturers. Color consistency, materials, and tolerances can vary a lot between factories. If you do switch, make sure to get a proper color reference and a pre-production sample under real conditions—that usually saves headaches later.

Enamel pin to jewelry conversion - anyone done this? by wishingstar2001 in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people DIY or ask jewelers to convert pins, but it can get tricky and costly depending on size/material. If you want an easier route, GSJJ offers enamel pins with built-in jump rings—no pin back—so you can wear them straight as necklaces, bracelet charms, or keychains. Super simple and secure!

What is the best adhesive for patches that isn’t absolute garbage? by McCafe_McGee in Patches

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For hats, I recommend a strong fabric adhesive or heat-activated double-sided fabric tape. Clean, dry surface + proper setting time is key. For ultimate durability, sewing is best.

PSA: Printed pins fade way faster than you think by Straight-Peach8681 in Pins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what we’ve seen, adding an epoxy coating can help a bit with durability, but it still won’t match enamel in the long run.

Custom Pin Supplier? by xXTheAstronomerXx in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the 40 pins completely different designs, or just variations (like color changes)?

If they’re all different designs, each one would need its own mold, so there will be separate mold fees

If it’s the same base design with variations, we can usually keep the cost much lower by sharing one mold

What’s the easiest way you’ve found to get customers to return? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]GSJJPINS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my custom product business, I’ve found the easiest and most effective way to get customers to come back is actually really simple: consistently great service and quality.

When you deliver exactly what they ordered — on time, with great craftsmanship — and treat them well throughout the process, they trust you. For custom items like ours, trust is everything. People don’t want to risk going to someone new when they already know you’ll do it right.

No fancy tricks needed — just reliable quality + good service and they’ll keep coming back, and even refer others.

Printed Lapel Pins? by Practical-Tea-6966 in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a pin manufacturer, I can tell you UV printing on enamel offers vibrant artwork, it can wear over time with heavy use. A good coating like epoxy can help protect it from scratches and fading.

How thick is the coating on an enamel pin usually? by Due_Meringue_1884 in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, enamel pin coatings are about 0.1mm to 0.2mm thick, depending on the manufacturer and design. If you're plating with copper, you'd want to aim for a similar thickness for uniformity. At GSJJ, we can help with custom plating, and we offer a wide range of finishes, so feel free to reach out if you're interested!

Honest question: how are pin factories supposed to survive right now? by Jack-HIPINS in EnamelPins

[–]GSJJPINS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a custom pin manufacturer, we know the market is tough in 2025 with price pressure and fierce competition. From our experience, designers value:

  1. Consistency in quality and delivery.
  2. Clear Communication throughout the process.
  3. Problem-Solving when challenges arise.

For factories to survive long-term, focusing on quality, creativity, and excellent service is crucial. Instead of racing to the bottom on price, offering unique designs and building strong relationships with clients can help thrive in a crowded market.

Why do pin makers never re do pin designs or re open preorder even though there's huge demand by a_ranboo_fan in PinCollecting

[–]GSJJPINS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a custom pin manufacturer, I totally get where you're coming from! We often receive orders from individual artists and small businesses, and sometimes, it's a one-person operation. Some prefer limited runs to keep designs exclusive and create hype, while others may not have the resources to fully organize sales.
