  1. IT’S SUPER EASY: It’s our job to hold your hand through the whole process from design to delivery. We keep you informed at every stage, and are happy to answer any questions about your pins or about the whole Cooperstown experience.
  2. CUSTOM ARTWORK: Many other firms use templates but we design everything from scratch. That makes your pins unique, original and highly desirable for trading. When your players get to Cooperstown, they’ll have a pin to be proud of that’s unlike any other team.
  3. HUGE CHOICE: As well as complete freedom to design any type of pin you want, in any shape or size, you can also add vast range of optional extras to make your Cooperstown pin amazing. Choose decorative details like glitter crystals, blinkers and glow in the dark paint, or add extra pieces like danglers, spinners, bobbles and sliders.
  4. NO HIDDEN COSTS: Unlike some other pin makers, we don’t slap on extra costs for design, artwork amends or proofs, set-up costs, molds, or tracked shipping – all that is included in the quote. The only extra is if you want  courier rather than our standard 3-day delivery. Plus we promise you won’t find lower prices anywhere else on the web – and if you do we’ll match it.
  5. SECURE DELIVERY: Your pins are sent using reputable carriers, like FedEx and UPS, and come with tracking and insurance as standard for complete peace of mind.

How can I be sure my players will like the design?

Everyone on your team will want the pins for your visit to Cooperstown to be really special. That’s why it’s important to work with a firm like us who specializes in producing high quality design work.

With our years of experience, our graphic designers know what makes pins really prized at the Cooperstown trading sessions – after all we’ve produced artwork for over 35,000 pins in the last ten years.

You’ll find us friendly and easy to work with and you have direct access to your designer. Firstly we listen carefully to what you really want from your pin and the image your team wants to project. We’ll discuss your ideas, and send you a proof which shows exactly what your pin will look like, usually with a couple of different options to choose from.

Usually, one of those designs is just what you want and everyone loves the design – but if not we’ll keep making changes until your whole team is completely happy with it.

I need pins fast – can you help?

Yes we can. It usually takes up to 3 weeks to manufacture Soft Enamel Pins and a little less for Offset Pins. However, if your Cooperstown visit is imminent then our Quick Pins can be with you in just 4 working days, including original artwork, unique to your team. Order by 2pm on Monday and they’ll be with you by Friday!

Let us know your time constraints and we can help you choose the best pin to suit. If you’re on a tight deadline, we can also arrange for a  courier at a small extra charge.

My team is on a tight budget – can you help?

Yes we can. Firstly you won’t find lower prices elsewhere, thanks to our price promise guarantee. Plus, when money tight we can guide you towards options that help you get a great quality pin at a lower price. For example, if you choose a stock shape rather than a cut-out shape you can significantly reduce the price, but still have an amazing, original design that everyone is proud to trade. Some sizes are also much less expensive than others.

Getting in touch with us as soon as possible also helps because you can sometimes save money if you can let us have more time to make the badges. Make sure to tell us when budget is an issue and we’ll work with you to make magic happen.

Is shipping free?

Yes. Not only that but insurance and tracking is also included free of charge on all orders to a US address. Your pins are delivered by well-known national companies like FedEx and UPS. The only shipping which incurs a cost is when you ask us for  delivery or to an address outside the US.

I’m daunted by all the options you help?

Yes, just pick up the phone or email us – we’re always happy to help. However, it’s not really as complicated as it may seem at first. Here’s a simple guide:

  • If you have a complex design with graduated colors and fine detail then you need to go for an Offset Printed pin.
  • If you like the traditional look with bright colors, an embossed feel and simple, bold designs, then Soft Enamel is ideal.

Both Offset and Soft Enamel pins can be enhanced with a wide variety of modifications such as glitter, crystals, spinners, danglers and so on which makes them highly desirable for trading.

  • If you’re short of time (less than 8 days) then choose Quick Pins as they are good quality pins in simple shapes that are quicker to make.

But you don’t need to worry as your designer will guide you through all the options and keep you informed throughout the process with friendly, helpful advice. Just give us a call on 1-855-982-9746.

How many pins does each player need?

For your Cooperstown visit, we recommend you order at least 100 pins per player, and extras for any adults who are accompanying the team, as they often get caught up in trading fever too!

At Cooperstown, everyone wants to trade because it’s part of the tradition, and our pins are always in high demand for trading because they’re great quality with designs that no-one else has.
