The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is a fraternal order with nearly a million members.  It was founded 144 years ago in New York City under the name “Jolly Corks”.  The group was comprised of actors, entertainers, and others involved with the theater.  Since its founding, membership has been extended to other professions.

The Elk has over 2000 lodges in communities all over the world.  One lodge in particular, #105 Florida State Elks, contacted us with a request for custom lapel pins.  They wanted to use them throughout the year in a number of different ways.  The Elks are known for their generous charitable foundation.  They give millions of dollars in scholarships and serve as an inspiration to everyone in their community.

The principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity are an important part of Elk members’ lives.  They recognize a belief in God, and strive to promote the welfare and happiness of its Members.  The group is highly patriotic and proud of their membership.  Wearing custom lapel pins is one of the easiest ways to show their pride to their community.  Small mementos make big impressions on those that see them.  Who doesn’t enjoy looking at an attractive and meaningful lapel pin?

May 2nd, 2012

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”   What better way to do just that than designing an award for Outstanding Youth in your community?  The brightest and most talented young men and women in your city can be honored with a special ceremony.  At the event, you can hand them a certificate and a custom lapel pin thanking them for their hard work and commitment. 

These young people will go on to be leaders in the jobs and organizations they choose to work for.  Their hunger for excellence will help them be successful in all their personal and professional pursuits.  Recipients of Outstanding Youth awards serve as mentors to other young people.  Through speaking engagements and conferences, they teach others the importance of discipline, perseverance, and honor.

Youth award lapel pins can be created in a variety of different sizes, shapes, styles, and colors depending on what group or organization orders them.  For example, a sports club may prefer soft enamel or cloisonné lapel pins while an academic club may like the look of antiqued die struck lapel pins.

The sky is virtually the limit when it comes to design possibilities.  You can discuss your options with a sales professional once you request a free price quote and full color digital proof.  Our talented designers will make recommendations based on the artwork we create for you.  This will help determine what size and shape is best for your Outstanding Youth award lapel pins.

Festival lapel pins can be different each and every year.  Attendees wanting to collect the pins will appreciate their attractive design and durability.  They’ll love the fact that they can wear them for years after the event is over.

Here are a few ways you can make your custom pins stand out:

  • Choose an unusual size or shape.
  • Add glitter to your design.
  • Cut out areas of your pin.
  • Add simulated gemstones.
  • Have them created in two different metal platings like gold and silver.

Dragonflies Are a Popular Symbol Used on Lapel Pins

April 25th, 2012

We all know how popular butterflies are but did you know that dragonflies are every bit as popular?  Well, they are.  We receive requests rather often for dragonfly lapel pins.   Gardening clubs, nature preserves, businesses, and women’s organizations love featuring the beautiful insect in their designs.  In fact, many choose to cut their pins to shape so it accentuates the dragonfly’s wings.  Who won’t remember a group or organization when they see an attractive and memorable lapel pin?

Dragonfly lapel pins are used for a number of different reasons.  Each group or organization’s design is unique and their own.  That’s the beauty behind custom pins.  They are created to reflect the personality and mission of each club, preserve, business or organization that they have come to represent.

Here are a few of the ways that dragonfly lapel pins are used by our customers:

  • As welcome gifts for new members.
  • As thank you gifts for new customers.
  • As promotional tools for upcoming events and fundraisers.
  • For educational purposes (tie-ins with lesson plans).
  • For identification.
  • As reminders to visit websites.
  • As gifts with purchase.

Dragonfly lapel pins can be created in a variety of different styles.  Customers can choose soft enamel or cloisonné if they want a jewelry-like finish on their pins.  They can be die struck for a weathered, antique look.  Customers also like offset printed pins because they’re able to replicate a photograph or logo.  This makes it easy for others to recognize their dragonfly lapel pins in a crowd full of people.

Dragonflies have long been a symbol of beauty and hope.  Enhance the attractiveness of your custom lapel pins by including one of the majestic insects in your lapel pin design today.  Visit http://www.lapelpinsrus.com to learn more about the ordering process.  You can also email questions to info@lapelpinsrus.com or call 1-800-480-6822 toll-free with your dragonfly lapel pin inquiry.  We can’t wait to get started on a custom lapel pin design for you!
