Design Questions
How do I start designing my custom hockey pin?
Simply send us your team logo, colors, or even a rough sketch. Our designers will create a digital proof that captures your team’s spirit.
Can I see a preview before my pins are made?
Yes! We always provide a detailed digital mockup for your approval. Nothing goes into production until you’re 100% satisfied.
How many revisions can I request during the design stage?
Unlimited revisions are included. We’ll work with you until your hockey pin design looks exactly the way you want it.
What file formats work best for submitting artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are preferred for the sharpest results, but we can also work with JPG or PNG images if that’s all you have.
How long does the design process usually take?
Most hockey pin designs are finalized within 24–48 hours, depending on revisions, so you can get into production quickly.
Soft Enamel vs Offset Printed
What’s the main difference between soft enamel and offset printed pins?
Soft enamel pins use raised metal lines with colored enamel fills for a textured look, while offset printed pins use full-color printing for detailed artwork without metal lines.
Which style is better for team logos with small details?
Offset print pins are ideal for complex designs with gradients, tiny text, or photo-like images. Soft enamel works best for bold, simple logos with solid colors.
Do both pin types allow custom shapes and sizes?
Yes! Both soft enamel and offset print pins can be made in your preferred shape, size, and plating to match your team’s style.
Which option is more durable for trading and long-term collecting?
Soft enamel pins are slightly more rugged due to their raised metal borders. Offset print pins are protected with an epoxy coating, making them scratch-resistant and durable for trading.
