indifferentCustom lapel pins can be a great way to honor team members, employees, partners, and donors.
Custom lapel pins can fill various needs and take on many different forms. Companies can use these in many different ways. Popular variations can include employee recognition pins, a recognition pin for service, as well as pins for monetary contributions and contributions of energy, time and resources. Some thought and consideration should be given when selecting custom lapel pins as an appropriate gift. Giving consideration to variables such as logos and insignias, colors, defining icons, and finding a good supplier will help ensure the design of a recognition pin the recipient wear with pride. This is especially true of employee recognition pins and years of service pins. This allows us to show appreciation which is often overlooked. Following the tips below will make it easier for you to select custom lapel pins and employee recognition pins that express a true appreciation of the recipient. Giving the right pin in the right way will provide value and meaning for both the recipient and the giver.
1. Choose a customer service oriented company to make the custom lapel pins. A hurried sales approach won't produce a product worthy of employee recognition pins or years of service pins.
2. During the approval process of a pin proof, remember that size can deceive. The proof should be the same size as the custom made pin. If the pin is too large or small, the proof can be revised to meet your service or employee recognition pins. While a recognition pin does not have to grace the lapel, using lapel as a guide ensures a good fit on most clothing, whether collar or lapel.
3. Employee recognition pins evoke company spirit which means that corporate colors should be thought about if they exist and are important to the image. Advise the sales representative for custom lapel pins when colors need to be as exact as possible. The color match from business cards alone may not be sufficient especially as it relates to getting the right coloring on the enamel.
4. Colors should look good on the recognition pin, not just on the proof.
5. Recognition pin text should be legible and easy to read. The manufacturing process requires the small text to be struck into the metal first during the manufacturing process, then filled with the color.
6. Consider whether epoxy enhances your custom lapel pin design. The epoxy may help to prolong the life of the pin and provides a hard enamel effect without providing too much overhead.
7. Metal finishes vary. While genuine silver tarnishes, a nickel finish works; other options include brass or true gold finishes. A reputable salesperson for custom lapel pins or any type recognition pin can provide you with the advise needed to make the right selection.
8. While attractive, employee recognition pins presented in velvet boxes or bags can wind up costing more than the pins. Consider nice looking, but reasonable, recognition pin boxes.
9. For a special recognition pin, or employee recognition pins for many years of service, gemstones give added significance and meaning.
10. A useful idea is having website or phone information engraved on the backsides of pins, possibly serial numbers to account for each one individually.
