Soft enamel is more budget-friendly, while hard enamel offers a polished, long-lasting finish. The choice between the two depends on your design preference, intended use, budget, and desired aesthetic.

★ Soft Enamel Pins: Characterized by their recessed areas filled with enamel, giving them a textured feel and vibrant colors. They are often less expensive and allow for intricate designs. Soft enamel pins are perfect for casual, trendy uses such as promotional items and event giveaways.
