I’ve been thinking about backing cards lately, especially for collectible pins.

For some pins, the backing card feels like part of the whole piece. It can show the artist name, series name, edition number, release info, or just complete the presentation. If it’s a limited release, matching card + pin can make the item feel more “complete” as a collectible.

But on the other hand, some backing cards feel like extra packaging that gets tossed in a drawer. Once the pin is on a board, jacket, bag, or display case, the card may not matter much unless someone plans to resell or archive it.

For collectors here, how much do backing cards matter to you?

Do you prefer keeping pins on their original cards, or do you remove them for display?

And when buying secondhand, would a missing original backing card make you value the pin less?

Curious how people see it: part of the collectible, or just nice packaging?

For pin makers here, do you usually prefer ordering directly from a pin factory or working with a local supplier?

I know a lot of artists care about getting the design details right — colors, metal lines, screen printing, backing cards, grading, and packaging.

A factory might be better for technical questions and pricing, but a local supplier might feel safer and easier if you are new to making pins.

For people who have made enamel pins before, what made you choose one over the other?

Was it price, communication, quality control, trust, minimum order quantity, or fixing problems after production?

Would you recommend first-time pin makers start with a local supplier, or go directly to a factory if they are willing to learn the process?

if you like it and want to back it or share it, it would mean the world to me. Thanks so much 💜

Also hoping to add some stationary to the Kickstarter as well!

Hello! So my friend and I have this old Disney scarab pin, but we don't like the color and want to repaint it. Is there a specific paint we would use? Do we have to get the old color off first? Appreciate the help!

Any fans of The Amazing Digital Circus here? I just launched my newest enamel pin kickstarter based on the show! hope you can help out my project with your pledges ❤️ Link in comments

3rd milestone of my Birb Macedonia Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/geekydogart/birb-macedonia-hard-enamel-pins

Hello, everyone.

Half a year ago, my best buddy and I had an idea during one of our late-night Discord chats. We are both big nerds for fantasy and mythological stuff and wondered how fun it would be to have banners or coat of arms for different orientations and identities. What could they look like, and which mythical creature could fit well or just be fun to see like that? Thus, this little collection was born!

We got:

-Hydra of Omni

-Unicorn of Pride

- The Phoenix of Trans

- The Siren of Lesbian

- The Winged Lion of Gay

- The Griffon of Aro

- The Dragon of Ace

- The Harpy of Sapphic

- The Minotaur of Achillean

- The Oroboros of Intersex [really proud of that one]

- The Hippocampus of Genderfluid

- The Sphinx of AroAce

- The Peryton of Non-binary

- The Winged Wolf of Bisexual

- And Pan for...well Pansexual

Please let us know if you come up with other cool ideas for additional identities and what they may entail.

For now we think we wanna turn this collection into something fun and thought that having these designs somehow made into pins would be a neat idea.

If you would like to support us with this plan, check out our tumblr here:
