Custom Enamel Pin Packaging
A pin is small, sharp and sold as a collectible, so the backing card is doing most of the work — presenting it, protecting the point and being kept afterwards.

You already know what you are packaging, so there is nothing to set up. This opens the design engine with the sheet / cut labels structures on screen — then you type your own dimensions and the dieline is generated at that exact size.
The structures enamel pin packaging actually ship in
Every one of these is a construction TWOFORM generates a real production dieline for, at your own dimensions — not a template you have to fit your product into. Each opens the engine already on that package type.
Settle this before you design
The post has to go through the card and be covered on the back
A pin pushed through a backing card leaves a sharp post and a rubber or locking clutch on the reverse, and that assembly is thicker than the card. It will press through a thin envelope and it will catch on anything it touches. Add a second card layer or a foam pad behind the clutch, and size the mailer for the assembled thickness.
The mistake that costs a print run
A card that is thrown away
Collectors keep the card, and it is where the design name, the edition and the artist credit live. A plain card with a logo is a missed opportunity, and a card too small to keep in an album is a design decision made by accident. Pick a card size collectors can file, and treat it as part of the product.
How you actually make it
- Open the structure above and type your real dimensions. The dieline is generated at that exact size and validated against real manufacturing limits as it draws — if a size cannot be folded, glued and shipped, it says so before you design anything on it.
- Describe your brand and the AI designs the artwork directly onto that dieline — not onto a picture of a package.
- Place your own logo, barcode and any required panel yourself. The AI leaves them exactly as placed unless you ask it to change them.
- Fold it in live 3D to check it, then download print-ready files to use with any printer — or have TWOFORM manufacture it.
Questions about custom enamel pin packaging
What size backing card do pins use?
Around 2.5 × 3.5in is a widely used size that files neatly in a collector's sleeve. Larger cards give more room for artwork but are harder for collectors to store.
How do I stop the pin post pressing through the mailer?
Cover the clutch on the back of the card with a second layer or a foam pad, and use a padded mailer. A bare post in a thin envelope will find its way out.
Should pins ship in a sleeve?
A sealed sleeve keeps plating from tarnishing and holds the pin to the card in transit. It stops the most common arrival complaint.
