The Baldur’s PET Series is a charming enamel pin collection that captures the spirit of fantasy creatures through adorable, highly detailed designs. One of the key characters in this series — a playful chibi-style pet with sparkling red eyes and expressive wings — was a huge success during the first production. Thanks to the client’s high satisfaction with the original pins, this project became a smooth and efficient reorder.
In this case study, we’ll explore the design and production specifications, communication process, and client feedback that led to another successful delivery — showcasing the advantages of long-term collaboration, quality assurance, and professional production management at Hipins.
Size: 46mm – a perfect size for collectibles, small yet impactful.
Material: 1.8mm thick zinc alloy, providing durability and detailed structure.
Plating: High-quality gold metal plating for a shiny, luxurious finish.
Enamel Type: Hard enamel combined with screen printing for color depth and clarity.
Special Effects:
Red glitter enamel for the character's striking eyes.
Transparent sandblasted enamel on the wings for textural contrast.
Backstamp: Custom engraved "CASTARION XYZ" branding for authenticity.
Attachment: Two rubber clutches to ensure secure wear without damaging clothing.
Packaging: Individual PVC bags with bubble wrap for maximum protection during transit.
This combination of effects made the pin visually striking while maintaining high production quality and collector value.
Since this was a reorder of a proven design, the process was straightforward and efficient:
Immediate Artwork Approval:
The client was already familiar with the final output quality and quickly confirmed that no design revisions were needed.
Skipping Sample Production:
Due to the small pin size and the established trust from previous collaborations, the client agreed to skip the sample stage, speeding up the process and reducing lead time.
Mold Fee Waived:
At Hipins, we store molds for three years free of charge. Because the reorder was within this period, the client did not incur any additional mold fee, saving costs.
Direct Mass Production:
After confirmation, production began immediately for over 70 pins, maintaining exact color matching, precise glitter distribution, and clean plating quality.
The final batch was delivered smoothly, and the client once again expressed complete satisfaction:
✅ Consistent Quality: The red glitter and sandblast effects matched the original exactly.
✅ Efficient Production: Fast processing without sacrificing quality standards.
✅ Cost Savings: The waived mold fee and skipping of sample production resulted in a more economical order.
✅ Secure Packaging: No damage during shipping, ensuring all pins arrived in perfect condition.
The success of this reorder highlights how efficient workflows, attention to detail, and ongoing client trust can create a positive and repeatable production experience.
1. Can I reorder my existing pin design without paying the mold fee again?
Yes! We provide free mold storage for three years. If you reorder within that timeframe, no additional mold fee will be charged.
2. Do I need a sample for reorders?
Not always. If your design, plating, and colors remain unchanged, and you are confident with previous production, we can skip the sample stage to speed up the process.
3. What special effects can be added to custom enamel pins?
We offer options like glitter, transparent enamel, pearl finishes, sandblasting, glow-in-the-dark, and screen printing to help make your pins stand out and match your artistic vision.
4. How do you ensure color consistency for reorders?
We maintain detailed records of all color references, mold specifications, plating styles, and printing settings from previous orders. This ensures 100% consistency between original and reorder batches.
