The highlight of this pin is the gradient pearl enamel background, replacing the originally suggested glitter with a smooth, radiant finish that creates depth and elegance. This effect, paired with dual-layer construction, made the design visually striking.
The design and approval process reflected the trust and collaboration between BJD Promos and the client. Clear communication helped resolve feedback efficiently:
Gradient Adjustment Request
The client first asked for a major change:
“Thanks for the update! Let’s change the gradient glitter background of the bottom pin to gradient pearl, please.”
BJD Promos adjusted the artwork accordingly, applying gradient pearl to deliver a softer, more refined look than glitter. This small change greatly elevated the overall appearance.
Sample Clarification
During sample review, the client noticed an inconsistency:
“It looks like the wrong sample was polished. This one is missing the fixed screenprint. Can you send pics and video of the newest sample with fixed screenprint?”
The production team at BJD Promos quickly corrected the issue and supplied updated photos and a short video showcasing the accurate version under proper lighting. This transparency reassured the client before mass production began.
This process highlighted BJD Promos’ dedication to client satisfaction—addressing feedback quickly while ensuring alignment with the approved artwork.
Once the design was finalized, BJD Promos moved into production with careful attention to detail:
Mold Creation: Dual molds were crafted to achieve the layered design.
Enamel Application: Gradient pearl was applied across the background, ensuring smooth transitions.
Special Effects: Diamond powder and selective glitter were used for extra brilliance.
Screen Printing: Applied to the characters for sharp facial expressions, shading, and highlights.
Assembly: Top and bottom layers were joined, producing a strong and seamless dual-layer pin.
QC & Packaging: Every pin was checked for enamel accuracy, plating quality, and screenprint alignment before packing in PVC bags with bubble wrap.
Upon receiving the finished pins, the client shared their satisfaction:
“The gradient pearl background is stunning, and the corrected screenprint makes the characters look incredible. Thanks for delivering exactly as we envisioned.”
The finished Link Click Arch pin became a highlight piece for collectors, praised for both its craftsmanship and the collaborative design process.
1. Why choose gradient pearl instead of glitter?
Gradient pearl offers smoother, more elegant transitions, making it ideal for designs requiring subtle depth. Glitter, in contrast, produces sparkle but can sometimes overwhelm detailed artwork.
2. How does BJD Promos handle client revisions?
Our team responds quickly to requested adjustments and provides updated proofs or sample photos/videos to confirm accuracy before production.
3. What advantages does dual-layer pin design offer?
Dual layers provide visual depth and allow designers to separate foreground characters from background elements, creating a scene-like effect that elevates storytelling.
