Custom Lapel Pin Badges in Dubai — Made to Your Artwork, Delivered Across the UAE
A lapel pin badge is a small metal badge worn on a jacket lapel, shirt pocket, uniform or bag strap. At We Five Advertising, we turn your logo, flag, name or award design into a finished metal pin – cut to shape, plated, colored and fitted with the clutch of your choice. Minimum runs start small, and finished pins reach Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the rest of the UAE within 4–7 working days.
Most people come to us with one of three things: a logo file, a photo of a pin they liked, or a rough sketch on paper. All three work. Our design team redraws the artwork into a production-ready vector, sends you a digital mockup with the exact plating and Pantone colors marked, and only cuts the mold once you approve it. Nothing goes into production on a guess.
We supply pin badges to banks, hotels, schools, clinics, construction firms, government departments and event organizers across the Emirates. Some order 50 pins for a board meeting. Others order 5,000 for a national day campaign or a staff uniform rollout. The process is the same either way — the difference is only in tooling cost per piece, which drops sharply as quantity climbs.

A few things that keep your order moving without back-and-forth delays:
- Send vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) instead of flattened images
- If using raster logos, keep them at 300 DPI or higher
- Print-ready files move through production faster than drafts
- Keep a 3–5 mm bleed on anything running to the edge
- Convert text to outlines so fonts don’t shift between systems
- Work in CMYK, not RGB, for accurate print colour
- Leave a safe margin — nothing critical right at the edge
- Embed or attach any linked fonts and images
- Flag exact Pantone codes if colour matching is critical
Design Support: Once your order is confirmed and paid, our design team works directly with you on mockups and revisions.

Types of Custom Lapel Pins and Pin Badges We Make
We produce five main pin types: soft enamel, epoxy dome (full-color printed), die-struck metal, 3D sculpted and laser-engraved. Each uses a different coloring method, so each suits a different logo. Simple bold logos work in soft enamel; gradients and photographs need epoxy dome; text-only designs look sharpest engraved.
Soft Enamel Lapel Pins
Soft enamel is the most ordered pin badge in the UAE, and for good reason. The metal outline is stamped first, leaving raised ridges, and colored enamel is hand-filled into the recesses. The surface stays slightly textured — run a finger across it and you can feel the metal lines between the colors. That texture is what gives soft enamel its recognisable premium look.
Best for: corporate logos with flat blocks of color, flag pins, association badges, membership pins. Colors are matched to your Pantone reference. Add a clear epoxy top coat if you want a glossy, level surface with the same color depth.
Epoxy Dome Pins (Full-Color Printed)
When a logo has gradients, shading, small photographic detail or more than six colors, enamel filling stops being practical. Epoxy dome solves it. The artwork is printed in full CMYK onto a metal base, then sealed under a clear domed resin layer that magnifies the print and protects it from scratches.
Best for: photo-based designs, logos with color fades, QR codes, sponsor lock-ups, campaign artwork with fine typography. This is also the most cost-effective route for short runs, because there is no color-count surcharge.
Die-Struck Metal Pins
No color at all — just polished metal against a recessed, sandblasted background. The contrast between the shiny raised logo and the matte sunken background does all the work. It reads as understated and expensive, which is why banks, law firms, consultancies and executive gift programs keep coming back to it.
Best for: single-color logos, executive lapel pins, long-service awards, premium corporate pins in gold or silver plating.
3D Sculpted and Molded Pins
Here the design is modelled with real depth — raised faces, curved surfaces, layered levels. A steel mold is cut from a 3D model, so a falcon’s wing, a building silhouette or a mascot actually rises off the pin instead of sitting flat. Tooling costs more and takes an extra day or two, but nothing else looks like it.
Best for: mascots, architectural landmarks, trophy-style award pins, anniversary emblems, national symbols.
Laser Engraved Metal Pins
A laser burns the design directly into the plated surface, exposing the metal underneath in a contrasting tone. There is no raised edge and no filling, so the pin stays completely smooth. Engraving is the fastest of all our pin types because it skips the mold stage entirely — useful when a name badge or event pin is needed at short notice.
Best for: individual staff names, small quantities, text-heavy designs, personalized gift pins where each piece is different.
Flag Pins and National Day Badges
UAE flag pins, dual-flag pins pairing the Emirates with a visiting delegation’s country, and 2 December National Day badges are a seasonal fixture for us. Standard sizes run 15 mm and 20 mm, usually soft enamel on gold plating with a butterfly clutch. Bulk pricing applies from 500 pieces, and we recommend confirming National Day orders by early November — the last three weeks before 2 December are the busiest of our year.
Company Logo Pins and Name Pins
Uniform-facing pins for reception, hospitality, retail floor staff, security teams and clinics. Typically 20–25 mm, plated to match the rest of the uniform’s hardware, with either a butterfly clutch or a magnetic back where uniform fabric must not be pierced. We can run a mixed batch where the logo is identical on every piece and only the engraved name changes.
Recognition, Award and Service Pins
Milestone pins for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years of service, safety-record pins for construction and industrial sites, top-performer pins for sales teams. These are usually die-struck or 3D in gold or silver plating, often supplied in individual velvet pouches or presentation boxes so they can be handed over at a ceremony.
What Is a Custom Lapel Pin Badge?
A custom lapel pin badge is a small piece of stamped or cast metal, usually 15–35 mm wide and 1.2–1.5 mm thick, shaped to a logo or design and finished with enamel color, printing or engraving. A pin post and clutch on the back hold it to fabric. Businesses use them for staff identification, brand promotion and recognition awards.
The metal base is normally zinc alloy, brass or iron, depending on how much fine detail the design carries. Brass holds sharp lines best and is the usual choice for engraved and die-struck work. Zinc alloy is used for 3D and sculpted shapes because it casts well into deep molds. Iron is the budget option for large, simple flat shapes.
After the shape is formed, the pin is electroplated — gold, silver, nickel, black nickel, copper or an antique finish — then color is added by hand-filled enamel, an epoxy-coated printed insert, or left bare so the plating itself becomes the finish. That combination of base metal, plating and color method is what makes one pin look like a bank award and another look like a school badge.
Who Orders Custom Pin Badges in the UAE
Corporate offices, schools, government departments, hospitals, hotels, event organizers, associations and retail chains all order pin badges — for staff identification, campaign promotion or milestone recognition.
- Corporate and multinational offices: Logo pins for reception and client-facing staff, service milestone pins for annual meetings, branded lapel pins for DWTC and ADNEC trade shows. Bulk orders usually combine two or three designs in one run to share the setup cost.
- Schools, universities and training institutes: Prefect and head-boy badges, house pins, honour-roll and merit pins, graduation year and alumni badges. We archive the mold and artwork file so each academic year’s reorder matches the last.
- Government and semi-government bodies: UAE flag pins, departmental emblems, delegation gift pins and long-service recognition. Protocol work often needs dual-flag pins produced quickly ahead of a state visit or summit.
- Hospitals, clinics and pharmacies: Name, role and specialty pins for doctors, nurses and reception staff. Magnetic backs are popular because scrubs and coats are laundered often and pin holes widen over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Where can I find a lapel pin manufacturer near me in Dubai?
We Five Advertising manufactures custom lapel pins from our facility in Ajman and delivers across Dubai and the wider UAE in 4–7 working days. Because artwork approval, mockups and payment are all handled remotely by email or WhatsApp, there’s no need to travel to a workshop — most Dubai clients complete the entire order without a site visit. Ajman-based clients are welcome to inspect physical samples in person.
Q2: What is the minimum order quantity for custom pin badges?
Small runs are accepted, and we regularly produce batches of 50 for boardroom presentations and award ceremonies. Bear in mind that mold and setup costs are fixed, so the per-piece price at 50 units is significantly higher than at 500 or 1,000. If your quantity sits near a break point, ask us for both prices — the jump to the next tier is often smaller than expected.
Q3: What's the difference between soft enamel and epoxy dome pins?
Soft enamel has colored recesses between raised metal ridges, so the surface is textured and each color is a Pantone match — best for bold, flat logos. Epoxy dome is full-color printed and sealed under clear resin, giving a smooth glossy surface that handles gradients, shading and photographs. Choose enamel for a traditional metal look; choose epoxy dome for complex artwork or unlimited colors.
Q4: Do you supply pin badges in bulk at wholesale prices?
Yes. Wholesale pricing applies from larger quantities, and the per-unit rate drops at each tier because tooling is spread further. We supply bulk pin badges to corporate groups, government departments, schools, event organizers and resellers across the UAE. If you’re a reseller ordering repeat designs, the archived mold keeps subsequent runs cheaper still.
Q5: Can you produce UAE flag pins and National Day badges?
Yes — UAE flag pins, dual-flag delegation pins and 2 December National Day badges are a regular part of our work, usually at 15 mm or 20 mm in soft enamel on gold plating. Demand rises sharply from mid-November, so confirm National Day orders by early November if you need them in hand before the holiday.
