Customer Reviews
We were very excited to receive our pins! Their customer service department was excellent to work with and incredibly helpful as we tweaked our pins to their final design.
Julie Rivera
Had a great experience with PinMaxx making my business’s custom pins. The entire process was so simple, and the customer service I received from Ashley was top notch! Once the design was swiftly approved, they were put into production and arrived at my door so fast. Excellent product, prices, and service. I’d be very happy to work with them again.
Sophia Jerez

Sophia Jerez
Great experience! Our group had a tight deadline and we asked to adjust our logo slightly for our event… and they nailed it! We had great feedback from other groups regarding our trading pins, which were a hit. If we ever have to create pins again, we won’t look anywhere else. Our rep Ashley was great.
Kyle Page
PinMaxx was incredibly responsive, patient and supportive in ensuring that we got our lapel pin "just right" and in the look and style that we wanted. Even with the time difference (we are located in Hawaii), Scott always responded in a timely and prompt matter, better than I could have imagined. Per piece, the items were affordable, and the delivery was quick as well. We anticipated a later receipt date, and it came almost 5 days earlier! What a pleasant surprise. And, along the way, Scott continued to communicate with us.
Jody Shiroma
I was blown away by how great PinMaxx was! The customer service was great- they gave guidance on what would look good and work well. They were super responsive and helpful. No question was left unanswered. I received my pins so fast also! I was very happy with my experience and would definitely order from them for all of my pin needs!

We are getting rave reviews on the first day about our lapel pins from PinMaxx. They came out great! It will improve our customer loyalty and the clients love them. They are proud to be a Wellness Warrior and have great health through our program! Thanks PinMaxx!!!
Jim Bowe
...I couldn't be happier with the experience. What started as a single design quickly turned into four different designs and they handled every change quickly and professionally. Their communication was timely and they were quick to respond to emails, made adjustments to the designs exactly as requested, and kept me updated at every step from confirming the order to tracking the delivery. The final pins look fantastic, I highly recommend.
Sarie Aguirre
Super pricing, quality and service - including very fast delivery! Excellent follow-up and customer service too. It was a pleasure working with them!
Tiffany Ervin
The PinMaxx team is really amazing...quick responses and accurate communication. I am 100% satisfied with their service.
Alex Moreno
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!
Raul Uriarte, Jr.
Killed it on our hockey trading pins. Worked with us and got two designs done on semi short notice and delivered on time.
Paul Steinke
Great customer service, fast response time and was able to make changes for what I wanted in a timely manner. Highly recommended.

Sue Montroy
I’m indeed very satisfied with the work that has been done with our new lapel pins! The job done has been absolutely astonishing!!
Derrick Williams
Scott was very helpful. Kept communicating with me, and also kept perfecting the changes that we made.
Yvette Yanez
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
Scott worked tirelessly to get our World Series pin just right. They are fire!!! Will definitely be back!!!
Robert Klepac
Scott was super helpful! Communication was fast. I needed the pins quick and I got them before the expected date! The pins were beautiful!!!! Super happy. Will be using them every year!
Jessica P.
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.
Keela Haigler
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!

The Appeal of All-Metal Design
Die struck pins rely entirely on the interplay between polished raised elements and textured recessed backgrounds. Without painted colors, the design emerges from the metal itself, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that works beautifully for formal recognition and professional applications.
Why Organizations Choose Custom Die Struck Pins
Personalized die struck pins deliver several distinct advantages:
- Timeless appearance: The monochromatic metal finish never looks dated and maintains a professional character across decades of use.
- Exceptional durability: Solid metal construction without fragile enamel fills means these pins resist chipping and wear under regular handling.
- Budget-conscious pricing: Die struck pins cost the same as soft enamel pins while offering a more refined, all-metal appearance.
- Streamlined production: PinMaxx’s proof-based process provides a smooth, transparent experience from concept to delivery.
- Versatile applications: These pins are ideal for service awards, military insignia, corporate logos, fraternity pins, government badges, and commemorative pieces.
Common Uses Across Industries
Organizations across multiple sectors rely on die struck lapel pins:
- Corporate recognition: Honor employee milestones, service anniversaries, and achievement awards with substantial pins that feel valuable and permanent.
- Military and government: Create regulation-compliant insignia, unit identification pins, and ceremonial items.
- Educational institutions: Design graduation pins, scholar society recognition, and alumni association badges with classic appeal.
- Clubs and associations: Produce membership pins, leadership identification, and organizational emblems that members wear with pride.
Metal Options and Finishes
We create die struck pins from brass, copper, bronze, or iron base metals. Standard plating options include gold, silver, and antique variations. Antique finishes create an aged appearance, while polished finishes offer bright, reflective surfaces. Black nickel provides contemporary contrast.
Die Struck Pins vs. Enamel Alternatives
Soft enamel pins feature recessed enamel color fills surrounded by raised metal borders, creating textured, colorful designs. Hard enamel pins have smooth surfaces where enamel and metal are level, producing a polished, jewelry-like finish. Die struck lapel pins eliminate enamel entirely. The design exists solely through raised and recessed metal areas. This creates an understated, professional look that many organizations prefer for formal recognition programs.
