What is the Baseball Metal Chenille Pin?
Item CHEN109 is a lapel pin in resin, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 3/4".
In practice: casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
A pin is worn in public, which makes it a recognition item and a visibility item at the same time. On this substrate specifically: decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $1.65 each at 1-11, $1.02 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

Common uses
Service milestonesWorks well for service milestones, where the lapel pin format does what a printed handout cannot.
Membership and affiliationWorks well for membership and affiliation, where the lapel pin format does what a printed handout cannot.
Conference identificationSpecified regularly for conference identification. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 in is sized for exactly that job.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
2
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. At $1.65 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
4
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. Congregations buy in small quantities across many occasions rather than in one annual run. That makes minimum order quantity and re-order consistency more important than unit price for almost every purchase in this segment. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
5
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. An imprint area of 2 in x 2 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Volume is the point at $1.65; nobody is auditing this line item.

What do buyers ask about CHEN109?
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CHEN109 sells from a single unit at $1.65, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CHEN109 is 2 in x 2 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on CHEN109 is 2 in x 2 in.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
What is the minimum order for CHEN109?
CHEN109 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CHEN109 runs from $1.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CHEN109 is 2 in x 2 in.
