Although it’s February, graduations will be here before you know it. A time when teachers, coaches and administrators look for unique, economical and fun ways to show gratitude and support for everyone involved in making the Class of 2023 the best it could be. Whether in elementary, middle, high school or at the university or technical school level, one of the classiest, most creative and long lasting ways of showing recognition are lapel pins.
There are many choices when it comes to a keepsake or memento to commemorate the end of a school year. But there are few that rise up to the level of a lapel pin. Like the uniqueness of a school ring, the quality material of a lapel pin makes it special. It will last, as a reminder of wonderful memories, long into the future. Certainly the end of the school year is a perfect time to recognize the efforts of students and faculty alike, but keeping these tips in mind will spark ideas throughout the year!
Creating a custom pin is easy and fun, so having a special design or logo made for a special event is a breeze. Whether it’s graduation, homecoming or anniversaries, a lapel pin will make a special event even more special.
Lapel pins are an excellent way to fundraise for various causes, scholarships, new athletic gear, and classroom improvement projects.
Lapel pins with the school’s logo, mascot or special message can be sold or given to faculty, staff, students and Alumni.
Lapel pins can be given as a reward for academic excellence, leadership, community service etc…
Teachers, staff and students can wear lapel pins to promote a social or school initiative, program, or to display their affiliation with a professional organization. Whatever the cause or initiative, from Awareness Ribbons to Years of Service pins, PinMaxx has the solution.
Fraternities and sororities often wear lapel pins for events like pledging, initiation, homecoming, formals and other chapter events. A lapel pin gives students a sense of unity especially in a larger campus environment.
Teachers can use lapel pins to initiate conversation with students and help build relationships. The teacher and student can wear pins that reflect their personal interests, such as favorite sports teams or hobbies, and encourage students to share their own interests.
Lapel Pins are a versatile and cost-effective way for schools on any level to promote school pride, recognize achievements and support their community.

How Can a Lapel Pin Be Used to Show Appreciation to Your Employees? Employees are a company’s most valuable asset. Duh. Sure, anyone in business knows that…or should. But here’s the thing, although we all realize employees should be appreciated doesn’t mean we’re all aware of the opportunities to reward, in small and significant […]
Lapel Pins Have Been a Part of the Law Enforcement Culture for a Long Time. The use of police lapel pins in law enforcement can be traced back to the first known use by the New York City Police Department in 1905. All officers were issued a brass pin that was worn on their lapel […]
The PinMaxx team is really amazing...quick responses and accurate communication. I am 100% satisfied with their service.

Scott was super helpful with my order and got them to me super quick as I ordered last minute. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will use again in the future.
Samantha Terry
What amazed me the most about about them is that from a semi-complex mock up image that I provided them they came back super quick with a quote, some color options, and the best proof render of the exact same design that I had envisioned. They quite literally brought my design "concept" to a reality! I will do business with them again!

Killed it on our hockey trading pins. Worked with us and got two designs done on semi short notice and delivered on time.

Scott took the design that I sent, enhanced it to look even better and sent the file back the same day. He provided me the tracking number as soon as he got it. The pins arrived a day earlier than promised and the quality was far superior to what I had hoped to get from any source. I can be really proud of these pins when I hand them out as part of our awards banquet. I would not hesitate to use PinMaxx again and to highly recommend them to others.
Diana Francis
Ashley was so amazing. The pins are perfect. They make a mock up and revised it as needed before production. Love the finished product. They accommodated us to a tee.
Cindy Dennis

Working with PinMaxx was so easy. I took a picture of the logo with my phone, uploaded it to their free quote. Scott replied within the hour of submitting my request. I requested one revision and he and his colleague, Ashley, responded quickly again. I approved the proof, they sent me the invoice, I paid it and they confirmed receipt and started working on my order. I would highly recommend working with Scott & Ashley at PinMaxx anytime you need a custom made pin. It has been a pleasure working with you and PinMaxx!
Erin Parr
Highly satisfied with the service I received from Scott & the quality of the pins I received. Scott was fast to respond to all questions, edits, & confirming shipping/ tracking. Pins arrived in a timely manner. Highly recommend PinMaxx for all your trading pin needs! Thank you for a seamless process.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I was urgently on the hunt for a company that could get custom pins to us in a few weeks for our USSSA Nationals tournament (softball) pin trading! Ashley was the representative who assisted me in the design and ordering process! She was spectacular; she truly made this daunting taste a breeze! Mr. Hayes is the owner and truly a stand up guy! He went above and beyond for a new customer! I will NEVER use another company for our pins. Their customer service is exceptional. I have NOTHING bad to say about this company and the way they do business! Don't waste your time with other companies and go with PinMaxx, always!
Candace Moore
I needed lapel pins with aproximately three weeks turn around time. After requesting quotes from 8 companies, PinMaxx was one of only two companies who would guarantee delivery by the date I needed them. PinMaxx surpassed the other company's pricing and was much quicker to communicate so I chose them. PinMaxx hands down had the best communication and customer service team of all the companies I shopped from. The pins arrived three days earlier than promised and the quality is excellent.
Melissa Combs
We used PinMaxx for our Nationals Softball Pins this year and they turned out GREAT! It was a quick and easy process to finalize the image and less than 2 weeks to have them in hand...plus the price point was spot on! We will be back again!
Sue Boxrud
Scott, you are amazing! The pins arrived on Monday, my brother was able to pick up and arrive with the package. Thank you & your team!
Ebony Thomas

Thank you for all your help. I’m already recommending you to everyone I know!
