We are five and a half weeks away from Christmas already. It seems like Christmas was just here. I hate shopping. It's an expensive time of year due to Christmas and several birthdays. Sometimes I have a hard time coming up with ideas for what someone might like.
One new idea is custom pins. There is a website called PinMart that offers stock lapel pins and custom pins. Some of them are really cool, especially the 3D cast pins. They are made of pewter or zinc and offer a very high level of detail. Animals work great for 3D pins. A rubber mold is used to create 3D pins while 2D die struck pins are made by stamping metal with a die. 3D custom pins have more dimension and detail than 2D pins.
Other custom pin options include Cloissonne hard enamel with a smooth glassy finish, etched soft enamel pins, made in the USA pins, and printed pins. If you have a photo you would like to turn into a pin, printed pins are a great option. It takes about 15 days to create a custom printed pin.
PinMart also sells custom lanyards. Lanyard options include printed polyester, printed tube, quick ship, woven logo, full color and stock lanyards. Full color lanyards allow for an image or design to be repeatedly printed over the lanyard in full color.
Custom rubber bracelets are also available. They are a great idea if you have a cause you would like to show support for or use as a fundraiser. Production time is 10 - 12 days and options include glow in the dark silicone, screen printed, debossed, enbossed or color filled logo, and multi color silicone.
Custom embroidered patches are also offered by PinMart. They are a great idea if you have a new patch idea for Boy Scouts. Several different patch backing options are available. They include iron on, velcro, temporary peel and stick, or no backing. A virtual sample is created from your artwork. When you are satisfied with the sample, the design is digitized, so that sewing heads have a pattern to follow. Color for the backing is selected and backing attached to the sewing heads. The design is then stitched on. When the design is completed, the patch is trimmed and the backing of your choice is attached.
Free quotes are available for all custom items. Shipping is also free.
