History of clothes pins
Pins have been used as fashion accessories and political symbols for centuries. The first pins were small brooches made of materials such as silver or gold and were used to fasten garments such as shawls or headscarves. Over time, pins became a way to show political, religious or social affiliation.
In the 1960s and 1970s, pins became a counterculture symbol and were used to show support for causes such as civil rights, peace, and the environment.
In the 1980s, pins became a popular fashion and were used to show personal style and individuality.
Today, custom clothing pins are a popular way to promote a brand, event or cause, as well as add a personal touch to any outfit.

Custom Clothes Pin Design Options
These products offer a wide variety of design options, from size and shape to material and finish. Below are some of the most common design options for custom pins.
Size and shape
Pins can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small round buttons to large medals. The shape can be customized to fit any design or logo.
Material
They can be made of a wide variety of materials, from metal to plastic. The material chosen will depend on the budget and the purpose of the pin.
Finish
The pins can be finished in different ways, from the classic soft enamel, through unenameled pins or resin drop printed pins to the most premium finish, called hard enamel. The chosen finish will depend on the design and the desired effect.
Soft enamel
Soft enamel is the most common option for custom pins. This finish is the most common for this type of product. Its most common feature is raised metal edges.
Hard enamel
Hard enamel provides a smoother, more textured appearance than soft enamel. This finish is ideal for designs with fine details or for those who want a more elegant and sophisticated look. They have a manufacturing process in which metal and enamel are polished by hand and very carefully, obtaining a very high quality product.
Digital printing
Full color printing is a popular option for designs with many colors or intricate details. This finish uses a high quality printer to print the design directly onto the pin and adds a protective layer of resin that covers and gives volume to the piece.
No enameled
The pins can be gold or silver to add a touch of elegance and sophistication. This finish is ideal for designs with fine details or for those who want a more elegant and sophisticated look. Although gold and silver metals are commonly used for manufacturing, at hephaestudio we also have colored metal finishes.
Additional customization
In addition to the standard design options, custom clothing pins can also be personalized with additional options, such as glow-in-the-dark or special colors, gold plating, or stone inlays.
How to make your own custom clothes pins?
If you want to make your own custom clothes pins, there are several steps you need to follow. First, you need to decide on the design and shape of your pin. You can use a graphic design program to create your design, or you can hire a designer to do it for you. At hephaestudio we have our own designers, who will be happy to help you, if you wish.
Once you have decided on the design of your pin, you must choose the size, material and finish. There are many options available, so make sure you choose the one that best suits your needs and budget.
Then, you send us the design to produce it. During this process we will try to recommend the options that best suit you and we will make modifications to the design if necessary to achieve the best finish. Pins won't go into production until everything is perfect and of course you'll receive design previews of how they would look.
Once the previous point is finished, all that remains is to wait for the manufacture of your personalized pins and their arrival at home. During this time you can keep in touch with us whenever you want and we will update you on the status of your order. As soon as I receive them, we will contact you again so that you can tell us how well they turned out.
This, basically, would be the process to follow to make personalized pins for your clothing. We only have to add that on our website you can find in more detail all the finishes and options that we have for the manufacture of personalized products, as well as other services beyond the personalized pin.
