Die-struck/Die-cast is a metal manufacturing technique commonly used to produce metal badges, medals, challenge coins, and other metal ornaments. It gives a sophisticated and elegant look without adding color. Die struck/Die cast involves placing the metal raw materials between two steel molds with engraved grooves and then applying high pressure to form the required shape and pattern. Dies can be engraved with designs and text to impress them into the metal during the manufacturing process. The die-struck manufacturing process can result in a higher quality finished product with clearer details because the metal is pressed hard into the desired shape, making the raised pattern and text more distinct and prominent.
Die-struck lapel pins are created by stamping a design into a metal sheet using a die. This results in a clean, sharp design that is raised above the surface of the metal. These pins are perfect for elegant designs with simple lines and minimal colors. They can also be plated with various finishes such as gold, silver, or copper to add visual appeal.
On the other hand, die-cast lapel pins are made by injecting molten metal into a mold. This manufacturing method allows for more intricate and complex designs to be created. These pins are perfect for designs with 3D elements or those with intricate details. As a result of their manufacturing process, they have a recessed background with raised elements, making them stand out even more.
