Most of the gold you come into contact with every day is plated or filled with gold, rather than pure gold. This is because gold-plated items are more durable than pure gold items and are, of course, much cheaper to make.
In addition to its upscale appearance, gold is also highly regarded for its resistance to oxidation and fading. Gold plating is available in either antique or high polish. This plating is most popular with the U.S. Army and Coast Guard. Antique gold-plated pins have a higher contrast that can improve the visibility of fine details such as text. High polish gold adds a touch of elegance to your pins and makes them look expensive. Both options use 24K gold.
Like gold, silver plating is available in both antique and high polish options. Antique silver is most similar to antique pewter and gives your pins a sense of age and durability. These pins are less likely to show scratches or dents over time. Meanwhile, high polish plating gives your pins a high mirror-like sheen. These pins can feature darker text or a sandblasted metal background to add the needed contrast to show finer details. High polish and antique silver plating are very popular with navy and corporate clients.
People often prefer silver or gold over copper, but copper gives a unique and classic look to pins. Each pin is plated with copper and then polished to a beautiful bright red sheen. Choosing a contrasting color helps create a distinct silhouette within the overall design. Another option is to have the pin itself be made of copper and then polish it to a high sheen. Antique bronze far outshines high polish copper in popularity because high polish copper looks a bit pink, almost like rose gold.
Black metal conveys strength and durability in a unique way that is different from other pins. While other pins often have a generic metallic sheen or high polish look, the matte finish of black metal allows these pins to instantly stand out. Black metal also works well with brighter colored paints and designs. While this is not technically electroplating, as the unique finish is achieved through a powder coating process, you can choose this option in addition to the traditional electroplating options.
Nickel plating is something everyone should be familiar with, as it is commonly used to coat household products such as doorknobs, tableware, and shower fixtures for enhanced decorativeness and wear resistance. For premium lapel pins, our nickel plating options include Antique Nickel and Black Nickel.
Looks very similar to a rustic bronze color, which gives the pin a very durable look. The recessed areas are filled in slightly darker, which really helps to distinguish the details on the pin. The antique process slightly darkens all metal areas on the pin, giving the pin an overall soft sheen.
Gives your custom pin a finish that is closer to a highly polished bronze color. Dark finishes can appear brighter and lighter in color while giving a more classic metallic look than black metal plating. Just like with highly polished gold, silver, and copper plating, glare can be a problem.
We also offer a variety of different colored metals for your pins. With the colored metal option, you can apply a base color to your pin so that your logo or custom color will shine through once it is painted or otherwise applied to the pin. This is a powder coating option, just like black metal.
For a more psychedelic look, you can choose our rainbow metal plating options. This effect is achieved when the pin is plated with certain reactive metals (most commonly aluminum, steel, or titanium) and exposed to extreme heat. The result is a rainbow of colors on the surface of the pin.
If you can't choose just one, we also offer multi-plating options. On standard-sized pins, multi-plating is usually limited to two different plating techniques to create a natural contrast and a highly unique look. While triple, quad, or more plating combinations are more commonly used on large, oversized pins, they can also be implemented on your standard-sized pins. However, in general, multi-plating increases production time and requires close attention to detail based on your artwork.
Also, keep in mind that some plating options cannot be combined. For example, the process of applying powder coating colors to the pin results in a pin that cannot withstand the traditional precious metal plating process.
As with any choice for your custom pin, you can always ask if you are unsure which option is best. Our art and sales team members are well-informed and know how to make the most of your unique pin design. If you have a plating idea that is not listed here, please let us know and we will do everything we can to make it happen!
