Wish I could take a video camera around one of those factories in China to document the full process. I believe there's some videos out there of people hand-making enamel pins, though they're obviously not of the same polish as what you'd get from a factory.

It would be really cool to document that part of the process.

Right now I'm outsourcing. But I rather be able to edit my own vectors to get my designs exactly how I want rather than having to try to explain it to a freelancer. Although my factory said they could do it, but again, I rather do it myself to get in all the details myself I know I want. As well as designing my own cards. This was very useful though. Thanks

There certainly is! Inkscape is a free vector application you can use to do vector drawings. I have limited experience with it, only having touched it many years ago to do some SVG work, but it's well maintained. Definitely worth a look! I totally understand your need to directly do the corrections as I myself wouldn't want to pass it over to the factory or a third-party designer. You can get it here, Inkscape: inkscape.org/en/

There's definitely some additional costs involved, such as having the factory mail the pins to the intermediary first, then to myself, but Pin Game Strong is very generous I would say and doesn't affect the cost as much as other third party companies do. I compared with some others and found them to be much higher in cost. Though it is certainly beneficial to secure a contact with a tested and trusted factory to optimise costs.

No problem at all. I used Pin Game Strong because I was under a very tight deadline and I didn't have previous experience with the process, so having someone to take you through it was nice. In future, with time as a luxury, I could do minimal (probably 100 pieces) test runs with other factories to gauge the quality and consistency. Many people making pins will avoid divulging their factory since if it were publically known, the factory could be inundated with orders, which they would meet by compromising quality for everyone. Hence, many people with good factories keep them secret out of fear of this happening.

That's a great question! Acrylic charms should be just as possible as pins. You'd locate them similarly to finding a factory for pin making (finding one on Alibaba). The company I used for these pins is also looking to expand into making acrylic charms, so you might want to check them out: alchemymerch.com/acrylic-charms/ But do bear in mind the current situation in China affecting factories and their ability to work. Hopefully that gets back to normal soon, but it might introduce a delay if you needed anything immediately.

The free program I used to draw the pins was Krita (krita.org). You can use that to do 2D artwork, ideally with a drawing tablet. While not absolutely required, converting your work to vector can be helpful, and Illustrator was used for that. But the person I used for these pins, Pin Game Strong, will provide this vector conversion service for you if you're not able to do it yourself, I believe.

@NeverDot
@NeverDot 6 жыл бұрын
The average pin cost depends on your order quantity. Check out the price sheet on Pin Game Strong (link in description) and get out your calculator to see where the sweet spot is for you. If you can score a direct link to a factory, you might be able to get the prices down to $1 USD per pin. I've not gone that route yet myself yet. Shipping is actually fairly decent. For me, located in Canada it ran about $60. Pins are fairly compact and you can fit quite a lot in a relatively small box. Molds I believe were about $50 each. You can check out the extras on the Pin Game Strong price sheet near the bottom. Other factories might also offer neat extras like chains, glitter, printed areas, etc.

whats the general MSRP price difference between soft and hard enamel pins?
@NeverDot
@NeverDot 6 жыл бұрын
I used Pin Game Strong and they have a price sheet on their site which you can check out to compare volumes and types. Going from that though, you can see hard enamel pins run between 10-25% more. I never felt it was such a great gap that it forced a decision either way, but if your primary driver is cost savings, soft enamel is of course the way to go. Some people like the more textured feel of soft enamel, which really brings out the physical feel of the design, while others are really attracted to the nice smooth finish of hard enamel pins which has a professional, elegant sense to it. The MSRP, however, tends to ignore this base cost difference, probably since it's not huge, and I would expect either type of pin to run in the $8-14 range.

@@amandine512 Most U.S. (or other country) pin makers are usually acting as middlemen to factories in China. I wouldn't dare to say the U.S. is completely without such factories, but I'm not aware of them. But then again, I don't live in the U.S., so that wouldn't help me much compared to China.

You can make them yourself

I could possibly make one myself, at much worse quality. But I couldn't make a batch of 200+ identical ones of high quality myself and build a business around it and still have time to re-enact the War of 1812 using ONLY vegan pizza slices as soldiers. Life is short, pizza gets cold! Oh shoot, the Hawaiian pizza is winning! NOOOOO!

Not so much how to make them, but how to get them made. I suppose making them is not an easy process then, but at least the title could be more truthful to what you're showing. I suspect it has something to do with wanting more views. I don't see why a title "How to get enamel pins made" would be a bad thing, because anyone who might want to actually know that might skip over your video and maybe you're losing viewership that way.

It is indeed more difficult to make them oneself than to get them made. As I was already generally aware that people were making enamel pins in factories, not by hand, I was searching for how to make them in the way I saw them being made by others. Not finding a comprehensive video, I made one myself covering my experiences with it and titled it what I had been searching for in the hopes it would help others in the same situation. It seems to have been the right choice for most people. Sorry to have failed in your case though. I hope you find how to make them by hand, if that's what you're after.

@@NeverDot I understand, I'm not trying to complain too much about the title and the content not matching so much, but don't you think you may get more viewers if your title is more specific to what you are communicating? Like "How to have enamel pins made ( designed by you )" or something like this. In my effort to see if I could make these by hand and seeing that's it's pretty impossible, your video is very informative and it is something a viewer, seeing that making them by hand is pretty much impossible, will eventually turn to as the next step to getting some pins made. I'm simply just saying if you change your title or edit it a bit, you won't really get complaints and people will find out that coming to your video will be the next best alternative, seeing that they won't be able to make them themselves. It's a good video to me now learning and now knowing that I will have to find a manufacturer if I want quality pins made using my own designs. I know what you mean though, it is kind of like making them yourself when you are the person designing them, but it does cause a bit of confusion and, as you can see by some of your comments, it makes people a bit upset when they think they are being slightly fooled into viewing a video they weren't looking for at that time. The thing they are missing is it will be a good video to come back to when they discover it's what they will need. So maybe, in a way, none of our complaints are really fair when the truth is discovered, being this is the only way a most of us will be able to make them by only being able to contribute the design part of the process.

@@JiM-SWEET-art Thank you for your comment! I really do appreciate it. I certainly never expected it to be misleading, but probably because I'd never imagined creating these by hand, after having seen so many people making them on Instagram. Not once did I see a hand-made one, so the thought people would want to create such things directly never crossed my mind. In fact, hand-made products like that would seem to fit the "charms" category more than "pins". I also never imagined this video would get more than a couple dozen views. Its current popularity has quite stunned me, so I'm going to leave it alone as my first successful video. I've done subsequent pin videos where I do take into consideration these comments and try to make clearer the specific focus of that video to help better set people's expectations. I've got another pin video coming up this week, so you'll be able to judge my video titling progress there.

@@NeverDot Cool. I also do appreciate the video. Yeah my nephew was talking about these pins over the weekend and he said this guy he was talking to made them and I was wondering, how can he make these? Maybe there was a way of making them that was somehow simple to do having the right materials or something. Now I'm sure he does it the same way, it's the design part is what they mean and then they are manufactured. Well, good talking to you and I'm gonna try doing something like this. I also might try making my own in another way using wire, glue and enamel paints. See how it comes out. Take it easy.

Sorry! It's intended for creators familiar with people doing them with factories and so focuses on the design side of things.

The actual factory where they make them is about 9,380km away and my camera's extension cord is only 30cm long, so I had to use someone to assist. I feel like they didn't go to the factory either though. Maybe some day!
