Custom Trading Pins
These days, people want things their way, which means exactly the way they want it. This is where the world of pin collecting and pin trading has crossed over into the realm of Custom Trading Pins.
Custom trading pins are still trading pins in the traditional sense, they’ve just been specifically made for the person who designed the trading pins. Custom trading pins are typically manufactured by a company specializing in the design and creation of lapel pins and trading pins. There are many companies that have the ability to manufacture custom pins, but you should take your time to review companies in depth to see which might be best for you. Just like shopping for anything else.
Fortunately, with the internet, you can do this all from the comfort of your own home, and likely come up with some great resources for custom trading pins.
From a collectible standpoint, custom trading pins might just be more collectible than what are considered stock or standard trading pins, which are done in mass runs of thousands or tens of thousands of pins to be sold on ebay, or other shopping sites. Custom trading pins are usually kept down to small runs of a few hundred, and many times, even less.
This small quantity run allows for a very collectible custom trading pin, offering a truly unique and sometimes extremely rare collectible item. Many Disney pins are like this, as well as many Olympic trading pins. Disney and Olympic trading pins are usually custom made, however they are only manufactured by the official Disney or Olympic corporations, making them even more collectible.
Just about anyone can have custom trading pins made. You just need to find a manufacturer, design (or have designed) the trading pins, and go to press. It’s a really cool process (I haven’t had it done myself but I have a few friends that have) and it makes for some great collectibles.
Custom trading pins… a great idea for any collector!
