Cloisonné
Sometimes called epola or hard enamel, [cloisonné] is stamped out from a sheet of copper. The stamping leaves recessed areas, or pools, which are filled with enamel powder and high fired at 800 - 900 degrees[5]. After cooling, the surface of the pin is ground down to a smooth finish and then the copper is plated.

Soft Enamel
This process is like epola and cloisonné in that strips of metal separate areas of color. Unlike cloisonné, the areas of color rest below the metal strip surface, which can be felt when you run your finger over the surface. Like the photo etched process, the top can be covered with protective epoxy[6] so that the piece appears smooth.

Photo Etched
In the photo etch process, only the shape of the piece is stamped out. The design on the face of the pin, is chemically etched into the base metal, then color-filled by hand and baked before being polished. In the final step, a thin coat of clear epoxy can be applied to the surface[7].

Screen Printed
Screen printing, a.k.a. silk screening is produced by applying each color to the metal base using a "silk screen" process. These are blocks of solid color.[8] A very thin epoxy coat protects the color material from scratching.

4-Color Process
4-colors process, a.k.a. offset printing, allows for bleeds and blends of colors, like you would see in a magazine photograph. The colors are printed in the traditional CMYK process. This style is perfect for complex art and photo reproduction. An unlimited amount of colors can be used[9].
