Both are made in metal and colour-filled by hand. The difference is the surface.
Colour sits just below the raised metal lines, so you can feel the design. Bright, bold and the best value.
Colour is filled level with the metal and polished smooth. A premium, jewellery-like finish that lasts.
Every pin is made from your approved proof in six steps.
A steel mould is cut from your artwork. It's included in the price.
The metal is stamped, or cast for large and cut-out designs.
The pin is plated in your finish: gold, silver, copper or black nickel.
Enamel is filled into each area by hand.
The enamel is baked hard so the colour lasts.
Hard enamel is polished flat, level with the metal.
Everything you can choose, side by side.

You don't need perfect artwork. These tips just help your pin come out as you picture it.
Need a photo or a gradient? Ask us about printed pins.
That's fine. AI images usually have shading and too many colours. Ask your AI tool to tidy it before uploading:
"Redraw this as a flat enamel pin design with solid colours only, thick outlines between colours, no gradients or shadows, maximum 6 colours."
Or upload it as it is, and our designers will prepare it.
Real reviews from Scoutwise customers.
"Really happy with the service. Response to my enquiry was quick, along with two designs to choose from. The badges look great."
Hard enamel pin badges are metal pins where the enamel is filled level with the raised metal lines and then polished flat. The result is a smooth, glossy surface with crisp colour that resists scratches, the look you'd expect from a jewellery-quality badge.
They cost a little more than soft enamel and suit pins that need to look premium and last: staff awards, long-service pins, brand pins and commemorative pins. Scout groups and guide units order them for leader thank-yous and anniversaries.
Every Scoutwise pin badge is made to your design from 50 pins, with free artwork, a free proof and no setup or mould fees.
Pins are small, light and cheap to post, and people keep them. Charities, clubs and groups sell them at events, online or with a donation.

Those logos are registered marks. We make your group's own design and never describe a pin as official. Check your association's brand guidelines before including a logo.
