  • What is your size preference for your custom trading pins?
  • How many pins do you need this season?

Five Things That Make Custom Trading Pins Stand Out

April 23rd, 2012

With baseball and softball season in full effect, it’s time to start ordering your custom trading pins.  Attractive, stand-out trading pins are hard to resist.  Make your team’s experience this season memorable by creating the type of pins that others can’t wait to get their hands on.  Here are five ways to do just that:

  1. Choose an unusual size.  Larger pins attract attention.
  2. Choose an unusual shape.  Although round and square trading pins are popular, cut-to-shape trading pins are unique and interesting.
  3. Choose a dangler, blinkie, spinner, slider or bobble head.  Players love pins that they can interact with.  Blinking lights and moveable pieces add to the appeal of custom trading pins.
  4. Make your mascot or logo prominent.  This lets other people know who your players are and where they came from.
  5. Add your players’ names and numbers.  Give your team the recognition that they deserve by adding each baseball or softball player’s name and number on this year’s 2012 trading pins.

Don’t forget to put in an order for custom lanyards as well.  We can create ones for all of your players to wear this season.  We can also make enough for you to hand out to family members, coaching staff, and spectators.  This is a great way for them to show their support for your baseball and softball players.  You can learn more about lanyards by visiting http://www.lapelpinsrus.com/lanyards.html/.

Place your order today.  Call a Lapel Pins R Us representative at 1-800-480-6822 toll-free or email info@lapelpinsrus.com.  We’ll send you a free price quote and full color digital proof.  This will allow you to see your design up close and make revisions as you see fit.  Once your design is approved and paid for, we submit your order to the production department for manufacturing.

Baseball and Softball Trading Pins – What Makes Them Different from Traditional Lapel Pins

March 28th, 2012

As a first time lapel pin customer, you might be asking, “What makes baseball and softball trading pins different from traditional lapel pins?”  The answer is really quite simple.  Size is one factor that sets trading pins apart.  They are usually 1.5” up to 2.5” in size.  This is far larger than the average pin.  A bigger surface area allows teams to put more detail into their design.  It gives them room for their team name and location, the year, their mascot or another sports-related image, and even the names and numbers of their players.

Another notable difference between baseball and softball trading pins and regular lapel pins is that they have a WOW factor like a blinker, slider or a dangler that offers extra excitement for players.  The more unique and attractive the trading pin, the faster it is snatched up by other teams.  Young players like pins that they can interact with.  Trading pins often have blinking lights, sliding or spinning pieces, and dangling charms.  This adds to their appeal and makes them something other players desire to acquire.

Custom trading pins are similar in appearance to custom lapel pins but they do have a few differences as noted above.  If your sports team wants to make this year’s season extra special, you can speak to a Lapel Pins R Us sales representative about your ideas.  Using your concept, our designers can create custom artwork for your trading pins that helps put your team on the map.

Visit http://www.lapelpinsrus.com/baseball.html/ today to see what we have to offer.  In addition to free design services and artwork, we also offer a free price quote, full color digital proof, and shipping for all of our customers.  Email your ideas to info@lapelpinsrus.com or call 1-800-480-6822 toll-free.  We can’t wait to get started on your order of custom trading pins.
