Custom Mini-Badge Lapel Pins for Fire Departments, Government Agencies and Police Departments

08-17-11

PinCrafters has created hundreds of different mini-badges for numerous Fire Departments, Police Departments, EMT’s, Federal Agencies and many more.  These mini-badges or custom pins duplicate an organizations badge, seal or patch as a small custom pin that can be used in many ways.

Many groups use these mini-badges in an ID wallet to show their membership of a certain group.  Whatever the shape, size, and colors you need for your badge we can help you make these exactly the way you envision.

We can also use the mini-badge as a Precious Metal lapel pin using 14K or Sterling Silver if you are looking for an even more valuable piece of  emblematic jewelry at factory direct prices.

Custom Lapel Pins for Fraternal Organizations (pt 2.)

08-09-11

Fraternal organizations are groups that are formed based on a common bond, as with social or academic interests. Examples of fraternal organizations include college fraternities which are based on religion, previous members or just common interests.  Such a group would be the Freemasonry.   PinCrafters has worked very closely with many of the Masons chapters to manufacture coins, medallions and of course custom pins.

While some groups prefer the hard enamel process, others like the look of a die struck or antiqued effect.  There are no limitations as to what you can create with lapel pins.  As a wholesale manufacturer, we not only can customize your pin to and design you like but will provide it to you at a wholesale price.

Custom Lapel Pins for Fraternal Organizations (pt 1.)

08-09-11

What are the origins of fraternal organizations and what types of custom pins do they use?

There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and Rome, and analogous institutions in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church. These confraternities evolved into purely secular fraternal societies.  The term fraternal organization is from the Latin frater, meaning brother.  Many of these organizations use lapel pins and medallions to show membership and service. Some use the pins for events or even at conventions where they have pin trading clubs.  The pins that are the “coolest” are the ones that trade better.

Here at PinCrafters we have designed and manufactured many custom pins for a variety of such organizations.  We have become a licensed vendor for Lions Club, Elks Club and many others.
