Lapel Pins Myths Busted
When it comes to shopping for a lapel pin company, consumers have numerous misconceptions about the process. To dispel the myths associated with designing custom lapel pins, this article highlights the facts and fallacies associated with selecting an appropriate medium.
Fallacy: Cloisonne lapel pins are the only pins, which exude an expensive jewelry like quality.
Dating back to ancient Chinese history, the cloisonne pin has an opulent past. Although, many people consider the cloisonne to be the highest quality pin, it is not always the case. Just as cloisonne pins come with five color options and plating formats, so does the die struck embossed soft enamel pin. However, due in the cloisonne pin's heavy lead content, loss of intricate detailing seen, the die-struck embossed soft enamel appears just as expensive, without the cost.
Fallacy: The photo-etched lapel pin always has a poor cheap appearance.
The production quality of the photo etched pins does not have a cheap appearance. It all depends on the artworks, logos and other insignia. Photo-etched pins are ideal for color-intensive designs. Moreover, once finished in soft enamel finish the vibrancy and sharp details.
FALLACY: All lapel pin companies charge a fee for the set up and the die charge.
On the contrary, since set up is a part of the order process and die charges are step involved in the production, these are extraneous costs. In other words, companies, charging extra fees, are price gouging their customers.
FALLACY: Professionally designed artwork is a prerequisite to placing any lapel pin order.
Fallacy, while the vast majority of pin companies require consumers to prepare the artwork themselves, it is better to shop around for a company that will assist with the imaging. Moreover, providers, who are committed to quality, generally offer complimentary design support.
FALLACY: Since all lapel pin companies provide the same service, it's unnecessary to shop around for a quote.
On the contrary, all pin companies do not provide the same service. There are three consumer shrewd tactics for evaluating a pin company for consumer satisfaction.
1) When shopping online, first verify that the Web site features an actual address. Generally, sites without a business address have illicit business practices, which can lead to inferior quality or even consumer fraud.
2) Next, prepare a list of questions pertaining to the production of the custom pins. In situations where the customer support staff is unable to answer specific design questions, move onto another provider.
3) Finally, disqualify any lapel pin company that refuses to assist with the artwork.
