Is This University Enamel Pin Durable for Long-Term Wear?

Yes. This enamel pin is professionally manufactured with die-striking, enamel filling, and epoxy coating. The zinc alloy base is lead-free and nickel-safe. The Carolina Blue enamel and white logo/text are heat-cured for chip resistance. The polished silver frame is electroplated and lacquered for tarnish protection.

Physical Properties

Durability Highlights

· Die-struck metal base ensures sharp detail — The UNC columnar pillar emblem with book icon, "UNC" text, and "KENAN-FLAGLER BUSINESS SCHOOL" lettering are all precision-engraved into the die before enamel filling, producing clean, crisp lines and perfect registration.

· Polished silver frame adds professional contrast — The bright reflective silver border frames the Carolina Blue enamel beautifully, creating a premium business school look suitable for professional and academic settings.

· Epoxy dome coating protects the enamel surface — A high-clarity epoxy layer covers the entire front surface, adding a glossy protective shield that resists scratching, moisture, and everyday wear.

· Butterfly clutch is securely welded — The metal post on the back is silver-soldered to the back plate. The rotating clasp with detents allows secure fastening and easy removal.

· Lightweight and flat — At approximately 5 – 8 grams with a slim profile, the pin sits cleanly on suit lapels, blazers, and lanyards without sagging.

What is the MOQ for a custom university lapel pin?

 MOQ is 100 pieces for a new design with a new die. For existing templates with text/color changes, 50 pieces.

Can you replicate my schools official seal exactly?

 Yes. We can reproduce official university seals, crests, and logos in enamel form. Send us your artwork in vector format (AI or EPS) at 300+ DPI for the most accurate reproduction.

Can the pin be made with a textured or matte finish?

 Yes. We offer matte finish (no epoxy dome, soft enamel texture visible) as an alternative to the glossy epoxy dome. Matte finishes give a more vintage, understated look.

 Pantone 542 C (Carolina Blue) is a standard enamel color. We match your schools official Pantone color code for accurate reproduction.

Can I order mixed colors for different departments in one batch?

 Yes. Combined multi-color orders (Business School Blue, Law School Red, Medical School Green) are welcome as long as the total quantity meets production MOQ.

Can the pin include a year or individual name?

 Yes. We can add graduating class year, individual names, or department titles to the pin design. Additional text may increase the pin size slightly.

What if I need an urgent order?

 Express production is available. Rush orders can be completed in 5 – 7 working days with an additional rush fee. Contact us for urgent delivery.
