Custom enamel pins in United Kingdom
Made to order, shipped from Dubai to United Kingdom. Quotes in AED, GBP or your currency.
Metal pins struck from a die and filled with enamel colour. The two finishes behave differently: hard enamel is polished flat and feels like jewellery, soft enamel leaves the colour recessed below the metal lines so you can feel the design.

What does United Kingdom order?
British demand runs to regimental and association badges, scouting and cadet groups, and motorcycle club colours, where the three-piece back patch is still the standard.
- Regiments and associations ordering formation badges and challenge coins
- Motorcycle clubs ordering back patches, rockers and centre pieces
- Scout groups, schools and sports clubs ordering badges in quantity
- Companies ordering branded pins, keyrings and uniform patches
Order early for Remembrance Day (11 November) — these are the busiest weeks of the year and the queue is first come, first served.
Why choose enamel pins?
- Hard enamel: smooth and premiumFilled level with the metal and polished flat. The most durable finish and the one that reads as a quality object.
- Soft enamel: textured and definedColour sits below raised metal lines, giving a tactile surface and stronger definition between colours.
- Plating to match the designGold, silver, black nickel, copper and antique finishes each change the character of the same artwork.
- Small and preciseStruck metal holds much finer detail at small sizes than any textile method.
What else do we make for this market?
United Kingdom flag patches — The Union Flag: the crosses of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick combined. The white diagonals are deliberately asymmetric, which is why it can be flown upside down.
Questions we get asked
Finishes Hard or soft enamel — which is better?
Neither is better; they look and feel different. Hard enamel is smooth, flat and more premium. Soft enamel is textured, with metal lines standing above the colour. Hard enamel usually costs more.
Fittings How is the pin attached?
Butterfly clutch as standard, or rubber clutch, which grips harder and is less likely to work loose.
Shapes Can a pin have cut-out sections?
Yes. Cut-outs let the garment show through and are one of the things struck metal does that a patch cannot.
Lead time How long does an order take?
Production runs 3 to 6 business days, counted from the moment you approve the proof — not from when you place the order. Shipping is on top of that and depends on the destination and the service you choose.
Timing When does the clock start?
At proof approval. Nothing is cut, stitched or struck until you have seen the digital proof and said yes, so a slow approval moves the finish date with it.
Destinations Where do you ship?
We make to order and ship from Dubai across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ask us for anywhere else — it is usually possible.
Minimums Is there a minimum order?
Not on embroidered patches — order one if one is what you need. Moulded and struck lines carry a minimum because they need tooling, and the quote states it before you commit to anything.
File types What artwork do you need from me?
Vector is ideal — AI, EPS or PDF. We also take PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF, PSD, GIF and ZIP, and honestly a clear photograph of a sketch is enough to quote from and start on.
No artwork What if I do not have artwork yet?
Send the idea — a rough drawing, a reference you like, or a description. We draw it up and send it back as a proof for you to approve before anything is made.
Proofs Do I see it before it is made?
Always. You get a free digital proof and nothing goes into production until you approve it. If it is not right, say so and we change it.
Contact How do I reach a person?
WhatsApp on +971 52 933 2878 is fastest, or email info@custompik.com. A person answers — there is no ticket queue between you and the people making the thing.
Quotes How do I get a price?
Send the artwork and the quantity and we come back with a fixed quote. Nothing on this site is charged automatically and you pay nothing up front.
Problems What if something arrives wrong?
Tell us and send a photograph. The proof you approved is the reference — if what arrived does not match it, that is on us to put right.
