As the saying goes, a good horse with a good saddle. Similarly, a beautiful custom pin without accessories cannot be of practical value. The Attachment you choose will determine how those custom pins are attached to your clothes or other things. Today, I will recommend you seven main custom pins attachments widely used by our company.
1.Traditional Butterfly Clutch
Butterfly clutch is the most common form of current enamel pins. They are often used in a variety of ordinary collections. Each butterfly clutch needs at least one prick needle. It is used to fix custom pins by clamping prick needle, and the plating effect can be changed according to the design. Compared to other attachments of pins, butterfly clutch holds less secure, especially when the surface of clothes is thick or when the accessory to it is too heavy (e.g. Military Clutch).

Rubber Cap is the same as the butterfly clutch, which is used for clamping small prick needle. There is only a hole, where the needle is inserted.Custom lapel pin is locked by friction.This attachment is made of environment-friendly plastic or rubber. It will not harm the skin when worn.

How to correctly select attachment:
Many of our customers were confused with what situation need to use one attachment and what situation need add more. Clearly, for some special and large size of lapel pins, if just use one attachment to attach, lapel pins would be tilted and slant more easily, at that time you need to add one attachment to fasten lapel pins perfectly.
Normally, if lapel pins over 1.5 inches have required two attachments. This instruction we also have showed in “select attachment” by Automated Quotation System for Custom Lapel Pins.
