Perfect For

When to Choose Custom Soft Enamel Pins

🏆

Competition Trading Pins

The single most popular pin use in the dance world. Dancers trade soft enamel pins at Showstopper, NYCDA, Starpower, and regional competitions — a tradition that builds community and gets your studio's branding into hundreds of hands.

🎖️

Studio Achievement Awards

Recognise milestones — years of service, exam passes, lead roles, and seasonal achievements — with a pin that dancers keep and display for years. Far more personal than a certificate or ribbon.

🎁

Recital & Showcase Gifts

An end-of-year recital pin is a keepsake gift that parents and dancers love. It commemorates the performance, the season, and the studio — and costs far less than trophies at comparable emotional value.

👥

Team Identity & Spirit

Matching studio soft enamel pins worn on jackets, bags, and uniforms build instant team cohesion. Order them alongside your chenille patches for a complete, coordinated studio branding package.

FAQ

Custom Soft Enamel Pins — Common Questions

What is the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel pins?

Soft enamel pins have a textured, dimensional finish — you can feel the raised metal lines and recessed enamel with your fingertip. Hard enamel pins are polished completely flat and smooth, like fine jewellery. Soft enamel is the most popular option for competition trading and team pins; hard enamel is preferred for studio achievement awards and formal recognition.

How many colours can I have on my custom soft enamel pin?

Up to 8 Pantone-matched enamel colours are included at no additional cost. We match your studio palette as closely as possible using the Pantone Matching System. Share your Pantone, CMYK, or HEX codes and we'll handle the rest.

What size should I order for dance competition trading pins?

The most popular sizes for competition trading are 1" and 1.25". These are large enough to display your design clearly and small enough to trade and wear comfortably on jackets and lanyards. If your design is complex or detailed, 1.5" gives more room for fine elements.

Can I see a design proof before production starts?

Yes — every order includes a free digital mockup reviewed personally by Stacy. Production never begins until you've approved the proof. Unlimited revisions are included at no charge.

What is the minimum order quantity for soft enamel pins?

Our minimum order is 25 pieces per design. This is the standard minimum for custom pin manufacturing due to the die-making process. Volume price breaks apply at 50, 100, 250, and 500 pieces.

Do you ship soft enamel pins to Australia and the UK?

Yes. We offer free express worldwide shipping to the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Contact Stacy for rates to other international destinations.
