Okay. I jumped right into this feet first. I was skeptical and a little scared even after I sent the 50% down payment. But today I got the photos of the pins and I'm super excited to be getting them soon! You are the sh!t! Best information on the internet for finding a pin maker. Thank you....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!
That's awesome to hear! So glad it worked out :)
How did it go?
@@taylorstep1413 It went great. I got my pins and they're perfect.
@@AFateSoTwisted congratulations!
pro trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
I wasn't even thinking about making enamel pins and was just curious about the process. Your video was so helpful and informative it makes me want to try! You make the process seem so much easier than I thought, great job!
Wow, that's awesome. Thank you!
This is the best video I've seen so far on this subject. You explain it so well and easy to understand. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
Thank YOU!
Your video is still very helpful and informative, 3 years later.
One thing I do when deciding pin size, is to paper print the design at various sizes. It gives me a better idea of what works best. Sometimes I even trim them down and place them on my shirt, to see which gives the best visual appeal.
i just want to say thank you this was beyond helpful and even years later!!!
amazing! I've read the article and seen the video. I could hardly find good videos that explains pin production. This definitely helped a lot!
You're a life saver, you answered questions I didn't have yet!! Awesome Video!
Yessss
Thank you for the video and blog post. Great info for someone like me that wants to start but doesn’t know how and doesn’t want to get ripped off by picking the wrong manufacturer.
This is excellent content. I have watched several videos of annoying pin designers to tease you about how to make a pin but never ever share info on manufacturers or the actual steps to take to get a pin made. Subscribed.
So glad you like it :)
Thanks for this video. You help me out a lot and I like the way you are very precise and to the point. Great video!! 👍🏽
Extremely good video. Thank you😊
I've been sitting on my first design, and just overthinking everything (as per usual). this helped me out a ton. Thank you so much!!
Hell yeah dude just do it. It's all about just putting your stuff out there and learning from the experience,.
So true, duder. That first step is always the hardest though haha. Words of encouragement like that make it alot easier. Thanks again!
So helpful, thank you 👏🏻🌷
That was super informative!!! Thanks so much for posting this🙏🏾
Awesome. Thank YOU for watching :)
Thank yoy so much for the information it means a lot
Thank you!
Helpful thanks
Thanks dude! Very helpful. Also love the stache man. ✌😎
Haha thanks dude!
Your video is great! what is the size to design enamel pin in adobe illust. Is it A4 to draw it?
Awesome Thanks!!
Great info! Do you have any rule of thumb on how much to expect per pin costs for wholesale?
Thanks so much, now to design them :)
THANKS PIN LORD
"how to make pins"
"contact a pin factory"
what sound effect did you use to make the text transitions? I feel like I've heard it on an anime before. I'm getting flashes of my childhood, but can't remember where its from.
its the Hana-Barbera swirling star logo :)
Thanks for doing this video!!! I can now do some BTS enamel pins lol. It helped me alot 💜💜💜
Thank YOU for watching
the 100unit minimum requirement is per design or can i have different designs to meet the 100unit requirements ?
Hey boss!! This is SUPER USEFUL!!! Thank you so much for making this content. I've been researching pin design like mad and finally came across something perfectly answering all my questions. You're the bomb!
Bonus question: I know they're usually okay with PDF's, but do you think I could go the extra mile and deliver an .ai vector file?? Would that make it easier for them to bring cost down or do you think it wouldn't really matter.
Thanks!!

Hello! I’m not sure if you respond to comments, but I was wondering if you have experience in knowing how many pins to bring to sell to a convention? For example, a venue like Anime NYC?
Also, do you have any info on card stock you use to attach the pins to when selling?
Do factories allow you to make color variants within the same batch? For example if I wanted 100 units of the same pin, but I want 50 of them red, 25 of them blue and 25 of them yellow, do they do that?

Thank you for all this information 😍😍😍. What app are you using on your iPad ?
I was looking to just make one. How do I do that.
You can't do only one with a factory but you can try to make it yourself at home. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/BlDoT1ZvZLo/видео.html
You can't make just one enamel one because it requires machinery. Try making a wooden one.
@@Pinlord Don't follow this DIY tutorial, check the comments on the video to know exactly why (the guy used dangerous processes without any protection and a very unhealthy material for the metal part, lead solder (this will give you cancer))
@@SakanaKogane for real. All them lead fumes he was breathing in off the spoon 😂
wow this is super duper helpful thank you so much! if possible could I ask a question? I know what design and I want to order a 1 inch pin. But I am not sure what size canvas to use for my psd. I looked everywhere and I cant seem to find this >.< any help you could offer would be super helpful! thanks so much!
Heyaaa! Awesome. There's no real "standard" for this. Whatever size makes the image look clear is good enough.
Ahhhh I see!!! Thank you so much! You’re a life saver 😃
Don't worry about it, just tell the factory that you want the design to be 1 inch.
High PINLORD! Do you produce magnetic enamel? Enamel without pins?
how to buy soft enamel or how to mix it ?
Does this work if I just want them to myself and not trying to sell some ?? In the future I would but I would like to create some for myself...
Of course, I've also made designs for mysled that I just give out to friends.
where can I get those enamel to buy ?
Big question: Does it matter how big the design drawing you make? Or should it be the same size the pin is gonna be?
Hi there. I know it's been a little while but maybe this will still help. You do not need to make your art the size of the final pin. However, it does help a lot to print samples at home of your desired dimensions. This should give you an idea of what to expect.
do I need to be 18 or a certain age to make those?
I want to know how to make them on my own not factory! Do u have any suggestions ?
Honestly, its very hard to make enamel pins on your own because it requires you melting metal and needing big machinery. If you want enamel pins I'd recommend doing them in a factory. if you want buttons or any other type of pins you'll likely be able to make them at home.
@@Pinlord oh ok Thanks yes I just wanted a few lol... maybe with shrink paper?

Try making wooden pins. Enamel pins need machinery to be made

Are they expensive?
Thanks so much for this.
Important question... how can we tell it's a factory that treats it's employees fairly? Are there international certifications or anything specific to look for?
Hmmm, it's honestly really hard to know even if factories have certificates. The best way is to go to the factory directly and inspect it yourself. The second best option it to ask them to send you certification that they treat their employees fairly and trust that those certifications are good. Most chinese manufacturers these days are now up to standard regulations.
Apart from going to the factory to check it out yourself, you're going to have to rely of whatever certifications they give you. Unless you're an expert it's honestly really hard to know for certain.
Anyone here because he was nice enough to put the link to the video at the beginning of the article 🥺😂
So I’ve been seeing a lot of 3D enamel pendants and they are very detailed with shading. How is that even possible?
do you make figpins this way?
How much does it cost....
What’s up with your stash bro???
YOUR A GOD. THANK YOU.
Thank YOU
How do you make pins from home? What machines do you need?
Spaghet!
I used one of the companies you suggested. Got the quote. Got the invoice. It uses pinlord dot com in its email...which is not the original email. I just can't afford to get ripped off. Have you actually used these companies or how are you associated with them? There is so little useful information out there. I'm stressing over this now. My designs are tied into a book I'm working on.
Who are these people? There are no companies that I recommend that use @pinlord.com. They are definitely not me and not my recommendation.
@@Pinlord It was erichgift. The person who responded used an email that had "pinlord" in it. If you want to message me privately, I can give each you the info. It all seems to be fine though. I'm getting my pins next week.
@@AFateSoTwisted Wow. Crazy! Could you forward me the email at hello.pin.lord@gmail.com? Thank you SOO much!
I was considering using erich. Did you ever order your pins?
SPAGHETT
Oh I thought you mean to actually MAKE the pin
This isn't producing pins. It's a video on how to order them.
Pin me daddy
SPOGET
So you dont manufacture the pin. That sucks.
You need a factory with big machinery to make enamel pins. You can't make them yourself
This aint producing this is sourcing
"How to make a pin... Find a factory and get someone else to make it"?!?!?! I want to make an enamel pin not just tell someone else to make one
Heya! I hear ya. Enamel pins require big machinery to make, but if you have a crafty side and able to melt metals, and create molds, here's a good video that'll show you the ropes: ruclips.net/video/BlDoT1ZvZLo/видео.html. If you can't do that, a factory is the other option. Hope it helps
you need to use search words like cloisonné, enameling or champleve - jewelry smithing. you are talking about making a jewelry - quality product. I have not done it, but if I did the prices would be well above what anything you order.
