Airplane Lapel Pin Buying Guide

Consider Size: When choosing an airplane lapel pin, please consider the size of the pin first. Pins that are too small may be invisible or add flair to an outfit, while pins that are too large may be too heavy or not have enough room to wear them. So start by finding the right lapel or collar size for the garment you want to wear it with.

Choose the Right material: Airplane brooches can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, enamel, and plastic. Metal pins are usually the most durable and of the highest quality, while enamel pins come in a variety of color options and designs. Plastic pins are the least durable and usually the cheapest. You can decide according to your own preferences and the material of the clothes you want to match.

Find the Right Design: Airplane lapel pins come in a variety of designs, from realistic depictions of airplanes to more abstract, caricatured designs. Think carefully about which type of design best suits your personal style or the occasion you’ll be wearing the pin.

Check the Quality: When choosing an airplane lapel pin, look for high-quality workmanship from the pins manufacturer. Pins should be well made with no visible flaws or blemishes. The clasp or fixture should also be secure and easy to use.

Check Prices: The price of an airplane collar pin may vary depending on material, design and quality. Set a budget of what you can afford and look for pins that fit within your budget before you start shopping. Keep in mind that a higher price does not always guarantee higher quality, so be sure to determine the quality of the pins before purchasing.

Consider the Type of Aircraft: As mentioned earlier, aircraft lapel pins come in a variety of designs, from commercial aircraft to military and vintage aircraft, and there are many options beyond that. You’ll want to consider the type of aircraft you want to feature on your pin, then choose a pin that accurately depicts the aircraft and its unique characteristics. Of course, it can also be customized according to your own preferences.

Look for Customization Options: Some airplane lapel pins can be customized with your name, initials or other information, and you can also customize them for friends and family. This is a great way to personalize your pin and make it unique. When choosing a pin, look for customization options and consider adding your own personal touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to make soft enamel lapel pins

To create soft enamel lapel pins, begin by designing your desired artwork. Once the design is ready, a mold is made by etching the design onto a metal plate. The metal base, usually brass or copper, is then cut into the desired shape and plated with finishes like gold, silver, or nickel. 

Next, each recessed area of the design is filled with enamel paint, using a small brush or syringe. Afterward, the pin is baked to cure and solidify the enamel. Once cooled, the pin undergoes a polishing process to create a smooth surface and enhance its visual appeal. 

A pin backing or fastener is attached to the back, and a thorough quality check ensures a flawless outcome. The result is a soft enamel lapel pin with vibrant colors, textured details, and a professional finish.

What are soft enamel pins?

Soft enamel pins are a type of lapel pin that features a design with recessed areas filled with colored enamel paint. The term “soft” refers to the texture of the enamel after it is baked and cooled. Soft enamel pins have a slightly raised metal outline around each colored section, creating a dimensional and textured appearance.

How to make hard enamel lapel pins

Create a mold of the design, etching it onto a metal plate or using a digital printing method. Apply enamel paint to each recessed area, ensuring it fills up to the metal surface. Allow the enamel to dry before polishing the pin to remove excess enamel and create a smooth surface.

Bake the pin to harden the enamel and achieve a glossy finish. Then, grind and buff the pin to ensure the enamel is level with the metal surface. 

Finally, attach a pin backing, such as a butterfly clutch or rubber clutch, to complete the hard enamel lapel pin. The result is a durable, high-quality pin with a polished appearance and vibrant colors.

What are your lapel pins made from?

We use a range of metals to produce our pins. The most popular kinds are made of brass, steel, and zinc. The base metal is determined by the type and form of pin.

What metal plating options do you offer for your pin?

We provide standard platings in gold, silver, and copper with every order. We also provide improved antique finishes that give your pins a worn appearance.
