1. What Exactly Are Die Cast Pins?

Die cast pins are custom-made pins created by injecting molten metal into molds under high pressure. This process allows for intricate details, unique shapes, and complex 3D designs that other pin types can’t easily replicate. They’re ideal for pins requiring fine detail and cut-out sections.

2. What's the Difference Between Die Cast and Die Struck Pins?

Both sound similar but differ significantly:

  • Die Cast Pins: Great for complex, three-dimensional designs with intricate cut-outs.
  • Die Struck Pins: Made by stamping designs onto metal, ideal for simpler designs with fewer details.

Choosing between them depends on your design complexity and preferences.

3. What Materials Are Used in Die Cast Pins?

Typically, die cast pins are crafted from zinc alloy. This material is popular because it:

  • Captures intricate details clearly
  • Offers high durability and corrosion resistance
  • Provides a substantial feel and polished finish

4. Can I Add Color to My Die Cast Pins?

Absolutely! Die cast pins can include enamel colors to highlight design elements. You can also choose from different plating options like:

  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Antique finishes
  • Black nickel

Adding color helps your pins stand out, making them memorable and visually appealing.

5. How Long Does Production Typically Take?

Production for die cast pins usually takes around 2-3 weeks after finalizing your design. Complex designs or larger orders may take slightly longer. At PinProsPlus, we work efficiently to ensure your pins arrive on time without sacrificing quality.
