<\/figure>\nWhy Most Pin Factories Refuse Small Orders<\/h2>\n
A traditional enamel pin line runs on a fixed setup: one mold, one colour fill station, one polishing batch. Every time the line stops to change a design, the factory loses roughly 40 minutes of throughput. That is why most suppliers quote a 300 to 500 piece minimum \u2014 it is the volume where the setup cost becomes invisible.<\/p>\n
We solved this differently. Our Guangzhou facility runs parallel small-batch cells alongside the main line, so a 20-piece order uses the same molds, the same Pantone-matched enamel and the same QC checkpoint as a 20,000-piece order. You pay a slightly higher unit price to cover setup. You never pay for inventory you cannot sell.<\/p>\n
What “No Minimum” Actually Covers<\/h2>\n
Our no-minimum programme applies to soft enamel pins, hard enamel (cloisonn\u00e9) pins, die-struck pins without colour, offset-printed pins and photo-etched pins. Sizes from 0.5 inch to 3 inch, thickness 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm, in brass, iron, zinc alloy or stainless steel.<\/p>\n
Plating options include gold, nickel, black nickel, antique brass, antique copper, rose gold and matte finishes. Backing choices cover rubber clutch, butterfly clutch, magnetic backing, safety pin and deluxe clutch with a jewellery-style box.<\/p>\n

How Long Does a Small Pin Order Take?<\/h2>\n
Sampling takes 7\u201310 days after artwork approval. Mass production takes 12\u201318 days for orders under 500 pieces. Express air shipping to the US or EU adds 5\u20138 days; sea freight for larger consolidated orders runs 25\u201335 days.<\/p>\n
If you have a fixed event date, tell us at quotation stage. We hold production slots for dated orders rather than promising a date we cannot hit.<\/p>\n
Is a No-Minimum Order Right for You?<\/h2>\n
Order small when you are validating a design, running a limited-edition drop, outfitting a small team, or testing a new market before committing budget. Order at scale once the design is proven \u2014 that is where unit cost drops by roughly 80%.<\/p>\n
Many clients run both: a 20-piece validation batch first, then a 2,000-piece reorder using the same mold. We store your molds free for 24 months, so the reorder carries no tooling charge.<\/p>\n
Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
Is there really no minimum quantity?<\/h3>\n
Correct. One piece is a valid order. The unit price reflects setup cost rather than a quantity gate.<\/p>\n
Do I pay a mold fee on small orders?<\/h3>\n
Yes, USD 45 for orders under 500 pieces. The mold is yours and remains on file for 24 months, so reorders are free of tooling charges.<\/p>\n
Can I get a sample before paying for the full run?<\/h3>\n
Yes. We produce one physical sample for approval. Sample cost is deducted from your order if you proceed to production.<\/p>\n
What file formats do you accept?<\/h3>\n
AI, EPS, PDF or high-resolution PNG at 300 DPI minimum. Vector files produce the cleanest metal lines and avoid redraw charges.<\/p>\n
Are the pins compliant with US and EU safety standards?<\/h3>\n
Our facility holds ISO 9001, Disney FAMA and Sedex registration. Pins can be produced to CPSIA and EN71-3 standards with test reports from SGS or Intertek on request.<\/p>\n
