Christian Lapel Pins: A Silent Way to Demonstrate Faith

Custom lapel pins are becoming more and more popular among men and women of faith as a means to demonstrate their religion to others in a positive, understated way. Many people have discovered such lapel pins are an excellent way to witness to others they meet every day. 

Many Christian symbols are suitable for Christians lapel pins. The most common is, of course, the cross, the ultimate symbol of faith for the devout Christian. But other symbols, including fish, praying hands, angels and more also make excellent testaments to the wearer's abiding faith. Holiday pins such as Christmas trees, Stars of Bethlehem and special Easter crosses also are popular. A reputable custom lapel pin supplier can help create a custom pin that best represents the wearer's devotion to God. 

Christian lapel pins can be pinned on clothing, caps, backpacks, or many other items. Some people choose to collect lapel pins as a hobby and Christian pins are a respected segment of the hobby. 

Churches often like to use lapel pins to showcase their congregation members. The pins can demonstrate membership in the church or in specialized subgroups such as the choir, the building committee or even specific small groups. The talented graphic artists of a good pin supplier can help produce a custom design that will be perfect for any church, no matter how large or small. 

Many companies have designed custom lapel pins of all kinds for other organizations including youth sports teams, civic groups and fraternal organizations, so they will have plenty of experience in pin design. They will be happy to help any church create Christian lapel pins for identification, special event or church fundraising programs. 

Christian lapel pins can be manufactured in cloisonne, silk screened, soft enamel, die struck or photo etched styles. Each style has its pros and cons for particular usages. 

Cloisonne pins are the highest quality available. These fine jewelry-quality pins are die-struck, then filled with a glass-like mixture of hard enamel and individually fired at high temperatures to ensure the longest durability. Because the manufacturing process is so complex, cloisonne lapel pins are the most expensive custom lapel pin type. 

Very similar visually to the cloisonne pins, soft enamel lapel pins are more affordable, because colors are made from soft enamel and fired at a lower temperature. These are the most popular style for sports trading pins. 

Die-struck lapel pins have no added color. The pins are stamped from a die, and feature recessed areas which have a grainy appearance, and raised areas polished to a high shine. This pin style is common for U.S. military pins and offers a classic, elegant look well suited to Christian lapel pins. 

Photo etched lapel pins are the most economical lapel pin style. Because they are made of thinner metal, they are not as durable as other types. 

No matter what style of Christian lapel pin you want, a reputable custom lapel pin provider can guide you to the right choice for your church or individual need.
