One of the most prevalent ways of exhibiting your association with a specific organization is by using a lapel pin. Custom pins with captivating designs have now become a feature which most people like investing their time, money, and ideas in.
Even though people in most countries use lapel pins in order to show reverence to a prominent leader or in respect of their homeland, the reasons for which lapel pins are used, differ. Recently, many companies and organizations have started ordering their personalized lapel pin. Custom pins have taken the world by storm once again with sales increasing drastically.
If you want to order your own pins, here are a few things to consider:
Price
Lapel pin prices can vary significantly. When ordering for a company or organization, you can expect the quantity of pins required to be large enough to serve all of the employees or members of the organization. Most manufacturers acknowledge that the cost incurred when ordering hundreds or thousands of custom pins will be very high. As leverage and incentive to customers, prices of custom pins, therefore, decrease considerably if large quantities are demanded.
Prices of custom pins also vary depending on the size of the pin required. It is, however, important to not compromise on the design or size you had in mind in order to get a cheaper lapel pin. If you settle for a cheaper lapel pin than what you know the average price of the pin should be according to the design requirements you have, then it is safe to assume that you will eventually have to place another order very soon as the quality will probably not be at par with the rest.
Time
The time in which you will receive your custom pins is affected by a number of factors, the most significant of which is the number of pins you have ordered. You can usually expect orders to be completed and dispatched within a week if the quantity is less than 1000 pins. Larger quantities may take up to two or three weeks.
Proofread
Typos are one of the most common mistakes when ordering a lapel pin. Custom pin orders are generally received by manufacturers from multiple companies simultaneously and subtle typos may go unnoticed. You should always proofread custom pins in which the text contains the name of an organization or person, since multiple spellings are possible.
Simplicity is the Key
When ordering custom pins, it is important to keep the design as simple as possible. Over-complex designs are not only hard to understand, but also easily forgotten. You should aim for a simple, yet self-explanatory design when making custom pins. Although a cheaper lapel pin may sometimes not be according to your requirements, lapel pins with simple designs often cost less than their intricate counterparts.
With these details, you can ensure that you get great value for your money with the best results when ordering your next lapel pin.
