2. Creating Enamel Pins

Bringing the enamel pin designs to life.

Creating enamel badges combines creative ideas and blends them with precision and know-how. We at Merit have had decades of experience in the enamel badge trade.

We start with your idea, we can produce production specifications and preview designs for your approval before production. Once you are happy with the design we can produce the stamping dies, and make the metal part of the badge, and add the fittings.

There are different kinds of enamel to select from. The soft enamel is the most cost-efficient and lowest quality. You can add a clear-coat resin dome to this if required.

Hard enamel is a better solution. Once baked it can be smoothed back and polished to a high shine. This allows us to give you the best quality badge.

The colours that you can select are limitless, and we can add exotic or novelty flourishes to the enamel if you require. Things like glow in the dark enamel.

5. Built to be better.

Should I just search online to find cheaper suppliers?

Ethical concerns:  We at Merit provide a service that balances price with other considerations. In accordance with our ethical policy only source components from vetted suppliers who act in accordance with these ideals.

Accountability: We sometimes hear unfortunate tales of those people who looked to the cheapest supplier and got their fingers burnt. Inaccurate misleading descriptions, mistakes, and poor quality are common. We here at Merit are a UK-based supplier who aren’t going to disappear.

Material concerns: some suppliers use the cheapest lead metal, which not only looks bad, but can also be bad for you. At Merit, we check our metal has no lead and mercury content within the metal that can leach out. We also do not use nickel plating that causes skin irritation. We apply the REACH regulations to our products and hold ISO certification.

In short at Merit we use our experience to make sure that you get a quality product.
