Epola (Semi Cloisonné) Pins
Epola is also known as Imitation Cloisonné, Semi Cloisonné or Imitation Hard Enamel. Epola Process, either in Die Stuck Brass or Die Cast Zinc, uses brilliant colored resin in the recessed areas, which allows for PMS color matching. It reveals a glassy smooth finish. Die Cast Zinc Epola can add cut-outs. When intricate detail or reproduction of a logo is essential, screen printing may also be added.
Cloisonné Lapel Pins
Cloisonné is an art that was developed over 6,000 years ago in China. Each design is stamped into metal, plated and the recessed areas are filled with cloisonné paste then hard fired and hand polished until perfectly smooth. A beautiful glass-like finish makes Cloisonné the first choice for those who require the very finest items. When intricate details are essential, screen printing may be added.
Soft Enamel Lapel Pins
Die Struck Brass Soft Enamel has the same thickness as Cloisonné and Epola. The recessed areas are hand-filled with brilliant enamel colors and can be PMS color matched.
Die Cast Zinc Enamel lapel pin has the same look as Die Struck Brass Enamel but is more cost effective and another advantage is no additional cost for inside holes or cutouts.
