What is the Cross Country Chenille Pin?
This is a lapel pin in quality materials. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 1 1/8"(L) x 7/16"(H).
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. A pin is worn in public, which makes it a recognition item and a visibility item at the same time.
This sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $1.65 each at 1-11, $1.02 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1 in x 1 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
Production schedule

| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |

Common uses
Service milestonesWorks well for service milestones, where the lapel pin format does what a printed handout cannot.
Membership and affiliationMembership and affiliation is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Conference identificationA natural fit for conference identification, which is one of the settings this lapel pin was specified for.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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
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. At $1.65 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
2
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
3
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
4
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Volume is the point at $1.65; nobody is auditing this line item.
5
Faith & Community Organizations
Faith communities give to mark moments rather than to advertise. These pieces are given once and kept for a lifetime, so the failure mode is not looking cheap but dating badly. Restrained typography and no year-specific styling means the piece still reads well in twenty years. An imprint area of 1 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

What do buyers ask about CHEN122?
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on CHEN122 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on CHEN122 is 1 in x 1 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 1 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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 CHEN122 is 1 in x 1 in.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on CHEN122 runs from $1.65 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.02 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for CHEN122?
CHEN122 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CHEN122 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 CHEN122 is 1 in x 1 in.

What CHEN122 costs at each quantity
The piece, the engraving and the freight, worked out at every break on this item's own ladder. Most suppliers publish the piece price and leave you to find out the rest at checkout.
| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | $1.12 | $1.00 | $2.12 | $530.00 | Free |
| 500 | $1.02 | $1.00 | $2.02 | $1,010.00 | Free |
- Ground freight is free from 250 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1 in by 1 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 99% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
- The table starts at 250 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 250.
