Die Struck Iron

Printed die struck iron lapel pins are made on an iron base with a high grade steel face that's struck to form the design. Striking presses the artwork into the metal, leaving raised lines and recessed sections. Those recesses are filled with bright enamel colours and kiln baked, which gives the pin its lustrous finish. Brass plating over the steel puts a warm shine on the raised metal and frames each colour. There's no set outline here, as every pin is cut to follow the shape of the artwork, from compact pins that sit neatly on a collar to larger badges with room for more detail. All of them come bulk packed for easy handling.

For a not-for-profit running an annual fundraising walk, the result is a pin volunteers keep wearing long after the day. It goes on a lanyard or jacket at the start line and stays there for the next event, and the one after that. Volunteers end up with a small collection showing how many years they've turned up, and newcomers start asking how to earn one.

Most branded die struck iron lapel pins can be printed, and the brass plated lines give each enamel colour a clean edge. For other finishes, see the full range of lapel pins or the antique die struck pins.

Frequently Asked

Which events are die struck iron lapel pins best for?
They are best for presentation nights, conferences, anniversaries and fundraising events where people will wear a pin again. The brass plated steel and kiln baked enamel hold up well on jackets, lanyards and caps over many years.

Are promotional die struck iron lapel pins good for staff service awards?
Yes, they work well for marking years of service because the metal and enamel finish feels like a keepsake. Using a larger size for longer milestones and a compact size for earlier ones gives staff something to work towards.

When do clubs and schools hand out these pins?
Clubs hand them out at season presentations and life member nights, while schools present them to prefects and house captains. A compact pin sits neatly on a school blazer or a club polo without weighing the fabric down.

Do printed die struck iron lapel pins suit corporate anniversaries?
Yes, they suit anniversaries and conferences because the brass plated steel and kiln baked enamel hold up on jackets and lanyards for years. A pin cut to the shape of your logo gives guests a lasting memento of the milestone.
