Rachel designed these pins for a client in 3 different finishes, to indicate different status.  The use of different finishes with the same design allowed for an upscale look, while saving cost by using the same mold for all 3 designs.

Rachel has designed thousands of lapel pins, coins, keytags and moneyclips for clients, manufactured from Die-struck, cast and etched metal.  Most of her experience in this area was during her time at BizPins, a promotional products company.  She has a deep understanding for the intricacy of manufacturing with metal and using plating and finishes to achieve an ideal design.

From Left: Image 1: Clients logo was translated into a combination of metal and printed process to achieve a beautiful look.  Image 2: In order to maintain the clean white borders in the client's logo, a white matte process was used, which avoided the added metallic lines traditionally needed in an enamel filled pin.  Image 3: The client's logo was translated into a design for a die-struck pin.  The use of a sandblasted background and enamel fills allows for an upscale look with color.
