Color Material:
The colors we use for our enameled and printed pins are of the following

Soft (Hard) enamel: chemical material, different colors to be mixed, matching your references of Pantone
(PMS), HKS color charts

Cloisonne: powders of rock, not to be mixed. Color reference of AOKI only.
Epoxy:
It's a kind of crystal polyvinyl acetyl resin, which we put on top of the surface of the metal pieces. There are 2
reasons to use epoxy, one is to protect the colors and the other one is to be shiny. However a lot of customers do
not want epoxy, they want without epoxy items show the relief effect.
Magnets:
As you know that we are supplying magnets, which is also a very popular item for promotions only next to, pins.
We wish to give you some information for the items we can do.
Rubber magnets with 2 layers.

One layer of rubber magnet at bottom and one layer of white PVC on top. The printing is on the white PVC.
Thickness of the magnet can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm or 2mm. When the printing is process offset, we are
now using white aluminum for the printing and not PVC.

When the printing is process offset, we are now using white aluminum for the printing and not PVC.
Metal emblems in any quality like our pins with the attachment of magnet on the backside. There are 2 kinds of

Artworks:
It's a kind of crystal polyvinyl acetyl resin, which we put on top of the surface of the metal pieces. There are 2
reasons to use epoxy, one is to protect the colors and the other one is to be shiny. However a lot of customers do
not want epoxy, they want without epoxy items show the relief effect.
LINE ARTWORKS FOR ENAMEL ITEMS
The basic concept is that the enamel item is a combination of metal and colors. We need a kind of line artworks for
our enamel pins and keychains. The key point in the line artworks is to have artworks showing ALL BLACK IN METAL
(or all white in metal).

Special lines needed in Etched brass soft enamel --- A border metal line of 0.8mm is needed for the etched
brass soft enamel items for standard thickness of 0.8mm brass. In principle, the thicker the brass material is,
the wider the borderline is needed.

The border metal line for stamped items (stamped copper, or stamped iron) can be and usually is thin.
Artworks for silk-screen printing items.
The most convenient and ready artworks that we can use are the 1:1 separations, 1 firm for each color. Your line
arts made in CorelDraw and Illustrate and sent to use by e-mail are most welcome.
Artwork for offset printing (or called photo printing of process printing)
The most convenient and ready artworks that we can use are the 4 color separations. It is our suggestion that you
would also make the artworks in computer and e-mail to us. Please note the density that we would like to have is
+/- 355 dpi in the computer file. You will find a separate file mentioning the kinds of software we are using.
Artworks for approval by e-mail.
If you supply for your orders of enamel items artworks other than line artworks, i.e. samples to copy, artworks
need changes, etc. We have to make LINE ARTWORKS before we make the tools (films, molds etc.) It is better to
have your approval first. It is to protect us from making mistakes. Please remind us to e-mail you the line artworks
for approval before we make the tools and we thank you in advance for reminding us.
The differences of silk-screen and offset printing:

Offset printing is also referred to as photo printing and process printing. The colors are obtained from the
mixture of the 4 colors of CMYK. It is just like the printing from your photo printer in what you could find the
colored ink is divided by the 4 colors. (Some printer has 3-color system of RGB, which we do not use in our
printing).

Colors of the silk-screen printing are not mixed. They are printed 1 color after another. The colors are also not
of gradual effect and are solid. All the colors could be separated. The swatch references of the colors we use
are according to the Pantone (PMS), HKS and RAL (as used in Europe) and DIC (as usual in Japan).

The production of the offset printing items is to copy your original. The best (and Maximum) quality of the
product is your original. The original limits copying. Therefore it is very sure that the product will never be
better than the original. In order to make good quality offset printing items; we must have GOOD ORIGINAL.
5
We are very good at the copying and we expect good originals from you. For example, the films are better
than the photos.

If you e-mail the artworks or mail film separations or send artworks in disk, please note the density is 355 dpi.
In the silk-screen printing metal items, we have a problem that is never been solved. It is caused by the epoxy we
use.
Why the white is not white:
When there is a printing of RED on WHITE or WHITE on RED, customers complain that the white color is PINKISH
or REDDISH. This is actually a VISUAL effect caused by the reflection of the re color under the epoxy. After taking
off the epoxy, you can see that the white is white.
We are very sorry that we still have no solution for this problem. Your explanation to the customers will be helpful
to us.
We have 2 OPTIONS for this problem.

Do not add the epoxy on the top of the pins. Instead, we print a layer of lacquer on top of the printed colors
as a protection.

Change the quality to other types. We can make it in the quality of hard enamel + print. For example, the
background is in red color hard enamel and we print the white on top of the red hard enamel.
Special note:
The above problem is only in the RED, All the other colors are OK.
Why we suggest silk-screen printing:
Some of the designs are not very good in the quality of soft enamel (either etched brass, stamped copper or
stamped iron) and we must make them in brass silk-screen printing with epoxy. However a lot of customers prefer
(and sometimes insist) to have their pins done in the quality of soft enamel. This is really a dilemma for us.
The kind of designs we mean in the above is, for examples, the texts need to be done in a color on the background
of another color.
We are depending on yours sales persuasiveness to solve this kind of problems for us.
We have 2 OPTIONS to help you.

We can make the pins in brass silk-screen printing with epoxy, while at the same time, leaving metal
separation lines in the design. So you can still see that metal lines separate the different colors. One
exception is in the very small details and we might have to skip the metal lines.

To make the pins in hard enamel + print. For example, the text can be printed in color on the hard enamel of
the background.
Shine & matt:
In our STAMPED metal product lines, there are raised parts and recessed parts. The recessed parts are usually
filled with soft enamel or hard enamel colors and the raised parts are polished and plated. Nevertheless, a lot of the
6
items are done without colors (for pars or whole) to have the comparison of SHINE & MATT. Let us study how this
kind of comparison can be gained.

A good polishing does the shining raised parts.

The dull effect of the recessed parts can be done in several different ways.
1. Sandblasting to the recessed parts. This is exactly as our types of SANDY items --- Stamped copper raised and
polished + recessed and sandblasted. Using antique plating.
2. Antique plating is the best way to show the mat effect. We have different kinds of antique plating as listed
below.

Antique gold

Antique silver

Antique brass

Antique copper

Antique nickel
3. Engraving Stippled background. This could be described as – Raised and polished + recessed and stippled.

Awareness Pins (Metal)
The pink ribbon
is an international
symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and
the color pink in
general, identify the
wearer or
promoter with the
breast
cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer.Pink ribbons
are most commonly seen
during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The blue ribbon is a term used to
describe or symbolize
something of high quality. The usage came
from The Blue Riband, a prize awarded for the fastest crossing of
the
Atlantic
passenger liners—and prior to that from
Cordon
Bleu
which referred to the blue
ribbon worn by a particular order of knights.
The
spelling
still encountered in most English-speaking
Ocean by
blue riband is
countries, but in the United States, the term was altered to blue ribbon, and
ribbons of this color came to be
awarded for first place in certain athletic or other competitive endeavours
(such as county and state fairs).
It also may be applied to distinguished members of a group or commission
who have convened to address
a situation or problem; the usual usage is "blue ribbon commission" or "blue-ribbon panel".
The French for the term is 'Cordon Bleu' which is also used in English-speaking countries. The red ribbon, as an awareness ribbon
colored red, has several different
meanings in different contexts. Foremost, it is
the symbol
of solidarity of people living with
HIV/AIDS. The yellow ribbon is used for various
purposes. It
is often worn on one's person or
tied around a tree in one's front yard. The white
ribbon, a
white-colored ribbon or representation of a white-colored ribbon, has several different meanings depending on the
context. As with other color ribbons, is sometimes used by political movements to signify or spread their beliefs.
In that context, it is usually worn on garments or represented in propaganda (posters, leaflets, etc.). The White
Ribbon has been the badge of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union founded by Frances Willard since its founding in 1873.
The WCTU is the oldest
continuing
non-sectarian women's organization
worldwide. The white
ribbon bow was
selected to symbolize purity.[1] The WCTU
traditionally uses the bow rather than the more modern
"remembrance"
loop.One
of the most notable usages of the white ribbon in recent times
is as the symbol
of
and other related
causes.
violence against women, safe motherhood,
It
also has a long tradition in state fairs and similar farming and horticultural competitions in the United States
and Canada. The green ribbon has been
used as a symbol for many campaigns, including environmental justice,
cannabis-liberation, agriculture and to
show support for legalized forms of pornography and sexual content. A
purple ribbon is worn to raise awareness
for various causes, including:˙Domestic violence
˙Pancreatic cancer ˙Animal abuse
˙Proportional representation voting system for
UK
elections (May 2010) ˙Xenophobia and Homophobia (Austria 2009) ˙Overdose Prevention ˙Eating
Disorder Awareness ˙Alzheimer's disease ˙Crohn's Disease ˙Cystic Fibrosis ˙Epilepsy ˙Huntington's disease ˙Lupus
˙Fibromyalgia
˙Arnold-Chiari Malformation ˙Religious tolerance ˙Homelessness ˙Victims of 9/11 ˙Macular
degeneration
˙ADD and ADHD ˙Sarcoidosis ˙Pediatric
stroke ˙Gastrointestinal cancer
˙Thyroid
cancer[1] ˙Ulcerative Colitis ˙Wildland
Firefighters A brown ribbon is a type
of award given
to winners of various contests. At county and state fairs in the United States, a brown ribbon is the
award for placing eighth in a contest. In Nazi Germany, the "Brown Ribbon" was an annual July horse race run in Munich from
1934 to 1944.
