Custom Collar & Lapel Pin Pricing Guide Malaysia 2026
A custom enamel or collar pin is a tiny gift that carries real meaning — a service award, a membership badge, a launch giveaway, a flash of brand on a lapel or lanyard. It’s collectible, affordable in volume, and surprisingly varied: soft enamel, hard enamel, die-struck metal and printed pins all look and cost differently. Here’s what drives the cost of custom collar and lapel pins in Malaysia, with indicative ringgit bands by type and quantity.
Quick orientation. All figures below are typical, indicative per-pin ranges in Malaysian ringgit for custom pins delivered in the Klang Valley — not a quotation. Because each design needs a mould, pins are usually most economical from around 100 pieces upward.
What sets the price
1. Type. Printed (offset) pins are cheapest; soft enamel sits mid-range; hard enamel and die-struck metal cost more for the premium finish.
2. Size & detail. Bigger pins and intricate, multi-colour artwork use more metal and more hand-filling.
3. Plating, backing & quantity. Gold/antique plating and upgraded backings add a little; the mould cost dilutes with volume.
Indicative per-pin bands by type
| Pin type | Typical per pin @ ~300 | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Printed (offset) pin | ~RM2 – RM5 | Full-colour logos, photos |
| Soft enamel | ~RM3 – RM7 | Everyday pins, events, GWP |

Indicative per-pin ranges at ~300 pieces. Size, colours, plating, backing and packaging move them.
How quantity bends the price
| Quantity | Typical per pin (soft enamel) |
|---|---|
| ~100 | ~RM5 – RM10 |
| 300 | ~RM3 – RM7 |
| 500 | ~RM2.50 – RM6 |
| 1,000+ | ~RM2 – RM5 |
The one-off mould cost spreads across the run, so larger orders are much cheaper per pin.
In-house tip: for crisp solid-colour logos, soft or hard enamel looks best; for photos and gradients, choose a printed pin. Our collar pin buying guide covers the types, platings and backings.
