Die struck badge FAQs
What does die struck mean?
Die struck means the design is stamped into metal with a custom-made die. The pressure creates raised and recessed areas, giving a detailed design without any colour. It is used for premium badges, medals, coins and keepsakes with a classic metal finish.
What is a die struck pin?
A die struck pin is an all-metal badge where polished raised areas and textured recesses carry the design instead of enamel colour. It gives a professional, timeless look, and is popular for corporate awards, military insignia, commemorative pieces and organisations that want a smart metal-only finish.
Can I add colour to a die struck badge?
Die struck badges are deliberately all-metal. If you want colour, a soft enamel badge uses the same stamped base with enamel filled into the recesses. Not sure which suits your design? Send it over and we will advise on your proof.
How do the recessed areas get their contrast?
The recessed parts of the design are sandblasted for a matt texture, or antiqued with a darker finish, so the raised polished metal stands out. Antique gold, nickel, copper and brass finishes give the strongest contrast.
Should I add the free epoxy coating?
Epoxy protects the surface and leaves a smooth, domed finish. It is free on every order, but many die struck designs look best with the metal texture left open. We will advise on your proof.
