What Is Crafts Printing

Crafts printing is a process used on custom metal crafts to reproduce artwork with high detail—especially when enamel-style color separation cannot hold gradients or ultra-fine lines. For bulk programs, the key is not “one perfect piece,” but consistent readability and placement across the full run.

Printing vs. Enamel

Printing is best for:

· Maximum detail fidelity

· Gradients and shading

· Designs that must look close to the digital file

· Printed lapel pins / printed metal badges with complex graphics

Enamel is best for:

· Classic metal craft look with raised metal boundaries

· Bold color blocks and tactile texture

· Strong separation lines for a traditional pin style

Artwork Files That Print Cleanly

To speed up approval and protect bulk consistency, please provide:

Preferred formats

· AI / PDF / EPS

· PSD

High-resolution PNG

Common issues we catch early

· Text too small to remain readable at final size

· Lines too thin

· Low resolution images

· Low contrast

Quality first

· 300 DPI+ for raster artwork

· Clear color references

· Separate layers for text/background if possible

When Printing Is the Right Choice

Choose printing when your program requires:

· Fine lines & small typography that must stay readable

· Multi-color complexity without metal line separation

· Photo-style or illustration-heavy designs

· Consistent look across bulk custom printing and future reorders

Where Printing Is Commonly Used

Our factory printing process is commonly applied to:

· Printed lapel pins for brand programs

· Printed metal badges / name badges for events and corporate identity

· Tags / logo plates requiring fine details

· Custom accessories with graphic-heavy designs

QC Checkpoints for Printing

For printing projects, QC is centered on clarity and placement:

· Print alignment consistency

· Sharpness of text and line edges

· Color appearance stability within the run

· No unwanted overflow or visible defects affecting perceived quality

· Final inspection before packing
