Previous Post: How about Pearl Effect Enamel Lapel Pins What We learned: The pearlescent Pearl Effect Enamel Lapel Pins .Achieves a unique pearlescent effect through special surface treatment technology. Its production process combines a variety of traditional badge crafts and adds a pearlescent coating step
Today ,we know about pearlescent Pearl Effect Enamel Lapel Pins Compared with ordinary lapel pins such as lacquer, printed or imitation enamel pins, there are significant differences in visual effect, texture, cost and application scenarios. Here's a comparison:

| Color expression | Pearlescent pigments can change with the Angle of light, and the color is more flexible | Fixed color, lack of dynamic light and shadow effect |

Durability
| Contrast dimension | Pearlescent | Regular |
| Abrasion resistance | Transparent resin protective coating (such as Boli) enhances wear resistance | Paint is easy to wear, imitation enamel is more fragile |
| Ultraviolet resistance | Pearlescent pigment + resin layer has strong fading resistance | Common pigments fade easily when exposed for a long time |
Cost and production complexity
| Contrast dimension | Pearlescent | Regular |
| Production cost | Multi-layer coating + curing process is required, and the cost is 30%-50% higher | The process is simple and the cost is low |
| Production cycle | Requires multiple spraying and curing, which takes a long time | The process is simple and the production cycle is short |
Application scenario

| High-end demand | Suitable for awards, souvenirs, luxury brands | Suitable for daily wear, promotional gifts |
| Design complexity | Suitable for simple and atmospheric pattern design | Supports complex details and small fonts |
Summary of advantages and disadvantages
| Advantage | shortcoming | |
| Pearlescent | Unique gloss, high eye absorption, wear resistance, long life, highlighting high-end texture | The cost is high and the effect of complex patterns is limited |
| Regular | Economical, suitable for mass production, high design flexibility | Common texture, easy to wear and fade |
Selection suggestion
Select pearlescent process: If the pursuit of the highest high-end visual presentation, such as corporate awards, limited souvenirs or badges that need to be preserved for a long time.
Choose a common process: if the budget is limited, mass production is required (such as event giveaways), or the design contains complex details
The pearl craft badge is far superior to the ordinary badge in terms of quality through its unique visual effect and durability, but it needs to weigh the cost and design needs.
