Die Struck Sandblast

From tiny lapel studs to larger statement pieces, promotional die struck sandblast pins come in a good spread of sizes, all built on a brass base and shaped to your design. Each one is stamped so the artwork stands proud of the surface. Those raised sections are polished to a high shine, and the recessed areas are sandblasted to a fine matte texture, giving the design depth without any enamel. Plating sets the overall tone. Brass, silver and copper are the base finishes, and gold plating is an upgrade for a richer look. Smaller sizes keep things bold and simple, while the larger pins give fine lines and lettering more room to sit cleanly.

Picture a hospital volunteer morning tea, where each long-serving volunteer is called up and handed a small silver pin. She fixes it to her cardigan straight away, and for the rest of the shift patients ask her about it. The polished outline catches the ward lights and the matte background keeps the shape crisp. It's a quiet nod to the years she's given, and it goes on every shift after that.

Most styles can be embossed for an extra raised layer of detail on branded die struck sandblast pins. For pins with flashing lights or a printed photo, see the full lapel pins category.

What Buyers Ask

Which plating should I choose for custom die struck sandblast pins?
Brass, silver and copper plating are the base options, and gold plating is available as an upgrade. Silver and gold give a bright, formal look, while brass and copper bring a warmer, more traditional tone to the pin.

How do I pick the right size?
Start with the detail in your artwork, since fine lines and small lettering need a larger pin to stay distinct. Bold, simple shapes work well on the smaller sizes, which also sit neatly on a shirt collar or tie.

Are promotional die struck sandblast pins a good fit for staff recognition programs?
Yes, silver or brass plating keeps a consistent look across a whole team, and the gold plating upgrade can mark senior or milestone pins. The polished raised design against a matte sandblasted background gives depth without any enamel, so each pin looks formal on a collar or tie.

What should I consider for promotional die struck sandblast pins worn every day?
Think about size and plating first, as smaller pins sit comfortably on shirts and lanyards for daily wear. Silver or brass plating keeps a consistent look across a large team, and gold plating can be saved for senior or milestone pins.
