Choosing the Right Material for Your Custom Metal Pin  


When it comes to custom metal pins, selecting the right material is key to achieving the look, feel, and functionality you want. Below, we compare two popular materials: zinc alloy and iron. This will help you decide which is best for your design.

Zinc Alloy Pins
Zinc alloy pins are made using a high-pressure 
die-casting process. This method allows for greater 
detail, making zinc alloy an excellent choice for 
designs with fine lines and complex features.
Best for larger sizes – such as 55mm or 60mm and above.
Thicker and more durable – usually over 2mm thick.
Attachment options – typically equipped with a pin back and clutch clasp. 
If you prefer a magnetic backing, a steel disc can be 
embedded into the zinc alloy (since the material itself is not magnetic).
Zinc alloy offers a high-quality finish with sharp details, 
making it ideal for detailed logos and larger pins.

Iron Pins
Iron pins are produced using a stamping process. 
These pins are great for simpler designs and smaller sizes.
Ideal for smaller pins – commonly between 10mm to 50mm.
Thinner and lighter – typically 1.2mm to 2mm thick.
Magnetic or pin backing – iron is naturally magnetic, 
so magnetic backs can be applied directly. Standard pin backs are also available.
Cost-effective – iron pins offer a budget-friendly option for custom pins
Iron is a practical choice for smaller, simpler designs or 

when using magnetic attachments.


Which Material Is Right for You?
Choose zinc alloy for larger sizes, thicker pins, and highly detailed designs.
Choose iron for smaller pins, lower cost, and easy magnetic backing.
