DIY Enamel Pins Design: Textures

Metal pins without paint offer a whole host of creative choices to the enamel pin designer. Once you leave the color out, you can utilize engraving textures to achieve gorgeous artistic effects!

Engraving Textures

We offers 12 different textures for your custom pin design. CNC mold making technology makes it possible to create a lot of different looks be it in the background of your design or featured front and center. 

You should consider using a background texture when you are trying to create a contrast between art elements. The textures vary from gravel-looking to that of a dulled look. 

The process is cheaper to administer than sandblasting. The difference is that the pattern is engraved into the mold which is then used to stamp out your pin blanks. Textures 1 and 2 resemble sandblasting the closest. The airline pin below, has a stamped texture in the background.
