Understanding Mold Costs and Dimensional Pins
Every custom project requires a one time investment in a metal die or mold. Larger pins require larger molds which naturally increase this initial setup cost. If your design requires a three dimensional or 3D effect, a more complex mold is used to create contoured surfaces. These 3D pins offer a high level of prestige for commemorative projects and special awards.
The Enhancement Menu: Level Up Your Brand
While our base pricing covers high quality standards, many organizations choose specialty enhancements to further distinguish their pins. Available upgrades include:
Color and Detail Variables
The number of colors in a design will potentially change the unit pricing for soft enamel and hard enamel projects. For advanced visual interest, we offer special fills such as glow in the dark color, transparent color, vibrant glitter, and iridescent pearl finishes.
Premium Plating and Specialty Finishes
Elevate your design with specialty matte finishes or 24k gold plating for executive awards. For a high end look, we offer two color plating such as silver and gold to produce a dramatic contrast effect that highlights specific parts of your logo.
Advanced Attachments and Accessories
Ensure your pin stays secure with double clutches for larger sizes. We also offer magnetic backings to protect fine suit fabrics and traditional pin backs. For truly unique projects, we can incorporate dangler attachments, slider elements, spinner components, and faux gemstones.
Presentation Packaging Upgrades
The first impression matters. Upgrade your project from standard poly bags to velvet bags, plastic display boxes, premium velvet boxes, or custom branded header cards.
The Bella Forge Advantage
We act as your production partner to ensure every project is successful. Every order includes a full artwork review and digital proofing process to ensure your brand is represented with 100 percent accuracy before manufacturing begins.
