Know what you're ordering
Four kinds of pin. Most companies need one of the first two.
Hard enamel
Colour is filled level with the metal and polished smooth. Feels like jewellery.
Best for long service, executives, awards, retail.
Die-struck
Metal only, no colour. Raised and recessed areas, often in an antique finish.
Best for understated long-service and heritage pins.
Printed
A flat printed image under a clear dome. Handles gradients and photos.
Best for detailed logos that metal lines can't hold.
Who orders pins
Small enough to wear. Big enough to mean something.
Long-service awards
5, 10 and 20-year pins your people actually wear. Hard enamel or die-struck.
Conferences and kickoffs
A pin in every delegate kit, in your event colours, ready for day one.
Graduations and alumni
Graduate pins and alumni gifts for universities and colleges.
Launches and campaigns
Limited-run pins for a product launch, a cause or a brand moment.
Associations and clubs
Member, designation and office-bearer pins that show who belongs.
Races and awards
Finisher and award medals with printed ribbons. See medals below.
Medals
Medals worth crossing a finish line for.
Die-cast medals in your own shape, with 3D detail, enamel colour and a full-colour printed ribbon. Medals are heavy, so we plan them early and ship them by sea or as air cargo. That keeps the price fair at volume.

Included in every price
- Artwork and a mockup from our in-house studio
- Mould making, production and a proof for your sign-off
- A quality check before the pins leave the factory
- Air freight, customs clearing and import duty
- Delivery to your door in Gauteng
Reorders cost less: the factory keeps your mould for two years, so the next run skips that step.
If it doesn't match the proof you signed, we fix it at our cost.
You sign before we make
Every colour gets a Pantone code and every word is checked. Production starts only after your written approval.
A photo every Monday
From deposit to delivery, you'll hear from us weekly with a photo of where your order is. You'll never have to chase us.
One person, start to finish
You deal with us in Johannesburg, on WhatsApp, not with a factory sales desk in another time zone.
Straight answers on timing
Need it next week? China can't do that, and we'll say so and point you to a local option.
Questions
What buyers ask us first.
What's the minimum order?
250 pins. Factories can make fewer, but below about 250 the setup costs make each pin expensive. For medals, the minimum is 500.
How long does it take?
About eight weeks from your brief to delivery for pins: a few days for the mockup, a week or two for the proof and sample, three to four weeks of production, then about a week to fly in and clear customs. Medals take longer because they travel as cargo.
Do I pay before I see anything?
No. The mockup is free. You pay a 50% deposit only after you approve the design and the quote, and the balance on delivery.
Can I see a real sample first?
Yes. We share a photo of the first physical pin before full production starts, and we can meet in Johannesburg to show you sample pins and finishes in hand.
Are customs, duty and delivery included?
Yes. The quote is the landed price in rand: production, freight, customs duty, clearing and delivery. VAT is added on our invoice.
Why China and not a local supplier?
Custom pins are made in moulds, and the specialist factories that do it well at scale are in China. Local suppliers often import them too. Ordering ahead lets us give you factory quality at a better price, with our checks in between.
Can I reorder the same pin next year?
Yes, and it costs less. The factory keeps your mould for two years, so a reorder skips the setup and goes straight to production.
