Photoscreen Pins - Offset Print Pins
Photoscreen pins (also known as screenprint, silkscreen, offset print or photo-etched) are the most versatile. To recreate a design exactly, a photoscreen pin is best. Photoscreen pins allow a logo or design to be recreated, down to the smallest detail, without the need for fine gold or silver metal separating lines around each color.

Photoscreen pins are ideal pins for complex logos, photos and designs that incorporate gradients (color fading). We will either create this pin using a photo etched plate or printing directly onto the base metal using an offset print process, depending upon your design. Both processes hold more detail than any other pin. Almost any artwork can be produced on a photoscreen pin. 2.00" and larger pins have two 8mm spur nails on the back, while smaller pins have one.
