When You Need Your Pins Yesterday, Signature Pins Has You Covered
Here at Signature Pins, we are committed to being the best custom pin maker available. In our eyes, that means providing the highest quality products and fast, easy service. The events and gatherings that our custom products are created for sometimes pop up last minute, making it seem almost impossible to have a set of custom lapel pins designed, produced and created in time. However, with our rush service, it’s more possible than you may think.
When we talk about rush pins, we aren't referring to the fraternity or sorority pins used during rush week every year. Rush pins are custom lapel pins made in the shortest amount of time possible. Our turnaround time is generally 10 days or fewer for our normal die struck, hard enamel or soft enamel pins. However, if you need even faster service, our rush pins can take as little as three days to produce and one day to ship. When you need pins fast, rush pins are always the way to go.
How the Rush Pin Process Works
Everything about the rush pin process is designed for speed. Our regular turnaround time of 10 days or fewer is faster than the rush service offered by most custom pin makers, so cutting that turnaround time in half took careful consideration. What we came up with is a quick and easy design process that results in beautifully detailed pins available in less than a week.
There are a few important things to know before getting started on an order of rush pins. First is knowing what type of lapel pins you will be receiving and the custom options that will be available. To keep things as fast as possible, all of the rush pins we create have offset printed artwork.
Offset printing is the best option for re-creating photorealistic designs with perfect accuracy. Instead of pressing artwork into a blank piece of metal with a custom mold, a photograph is offset printed, transferred onto a blank pin, and sealed in place with epoxy. While hard and soft enamel pins require extra time to construct a unique mold, offset printed rush pins only need a photograph to be formatted and transferred onto freshly minted pins.
The size and shape of rush pins are customizable as well. Square, rectangular and circular pin shapes are available in a few different sizes. We chose these sizes because they’re the most common among custom lapel pins, and because no matter what kind of offset image a customer has in mind, one of these options will suit the design.
Once you’ve selected a photograph you would like to use for the offset printed design and one of the pre-selected pin sizes, our art team will set to work on a digital proof for your approval. If everything is to your liking, let us know whether you prefer a butterfly clutch or a rubber clutch for attaching the pins, and then we can finalize your order.
Production takes three to five days, and with overnight shipping, the pins will arrive before the week is out.
Prices, Pros and Cons of Rush Order Lapel Pins
While rush pins are the best option for anyone who needs pins on the fly, there are a few drawbacks. First, there are not as many custom options available for rush pins as there are for our standard pins, and, second, shipping is not included. Rush pins also come with a flat plating fee of $100 per design.
Between the plating fee and the cost of shipping, rush pins can be on the expensive side of things. But when getting pins fast is your number one concern, it’s impossible to beat the quality and customer service provided by Signature Pins. All of our products are backed with a 100% quality guarantee, so you can rest assured that the custom pins you receive will meet the highest quality standards in the industry.
Our company is committed to providing the best service possible and helping every client meet their deadline. It’s for this reason that we designed the rush pin ordering system in the first place. As you begin your own order of rush pins, these are the most important things to keep in mind:
Pros:
- Get your pins in half the time with three to five-day production!
