Lapel
pins are made from methods and materials like enamel, offset printed,
silkscreen, die struck and photo-etched. In the photo-etched lapels, the
image is transferred from the negative of a photograph onto the surface
of the metal. Using acid it is then etched, cleaned and then colored.
If many colors are used on the emblem, the coloring is done one at a
time by hand. It is then baked for 12-15 minutes at 450 F, after which
it is cut into the required shape and polished. Of course custom made
lapels are expensive, but when ordered in bulk will be less expensive.

are highly polished with a smooth finish and the logo and text are
clear.
