Lapel Pins, as they are commonly referred to, are not always called lapel pins. Some languages and regions refer to them by different names, while others simply don’t know how to properly refer to them. We’ll go over a few of the most common names below.

• Button Pins or Pin  Buttons – This is a common confusion between a button (usually big and plastic, like you see handed out during the elections) and a lapel pin (small and metal, like the flag pin on the President’s lapel)
• Pin Badges or Enamel Badges – This is a common name for lapel pins in european countries.
• Label Pins – This is simply an error in grammar, since the word Label is very common, some people tend to think the P is a mistake and call them Label Pins instead of Lapel Pins. I actually like this one because it sounds funny and sometimes I say it just to be silly.

So, we just wanted to cover some common lapel pin synonyms as well as misnomers. Until next time – Lapel Pins USA!
