A custom long-service lapel pin is the simplest, most widely used marker of loyalty in a recognition programme. Each pin is about 20 to 25 mm, die struck or cast with your company emblem and a year numeral, finished in gold, silver, rose gold or bronze plating, and fixed with a butterfly clutch or magnet.
Why custom long-service lapel pins anchor a service programme
Pins are affordable at scale, easy to wear on a suit, abaya-friendly with a magnet back, and visible in the office every day. HR teams in banks, utilities, airlines, hospitals and government entities across the GCC use a tiered set, for example silver for 5 years and gold for 10, often given alongside a certificate or a larger gift at bigger milestones. Pins can be ordered for several years at once and stocked by HR. See the full range of long-service gifts, or browse all awards and recognition gifts.
How the pin is made
The design is struck into the metal, so the emblem has crisp, raised edges.
- [Embossed metal detail](/branding/debossing-embossing): raised logo and numerals across the full pin face.
- Soft or hard enamel adds colour; a printed domed insert suits complex logos.
- Small gem or crystal accents can mark higher milestones.
You approve a digital proof of each tier before production.
Presentation and ordering
Pins come on a branded backing card or in a small velvet box, which suits presentation at long service and retirement events. Each year tier can be a separate design in one order. MOQ and lead time are shown here and confirmed in your quote, as tooling takes time. Request a quote for service pins with your tiers and quantities.
Frequently asked questions
Can we order several year tiers at once?
Yes. Most programmes order 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25-year pins together. Each tier is a separate mould or numeral, and quantities can differ per tier. Ordering them together usually lowers the cost per tier.
Are magnetic backs available?
Yes. Magnetic backs avoid pin holes and suit delicate fabrics, abayas and scarves. Butterfly clutches are the standard and most secure for suits. You can mix both backs within one order.
What is the minimum per design?
The typical minimum is around 100 pins per design, because each design needs tooling. Smaller tiers, such as 25-year pins, can share a mould with only the numeral changed to keep costs down.
