Companies had different minimum order requirements Pricing depended on size, plating, colors, and packaging options Third company was the best option and offered reasonable prices for 100 patches of each design
Second company could only make pins and not backing cards First company was too expensive and required high minimum orders Contacted three companies to find the best deal Created black and white versions for plating options Added four colors and used Pantone codes for color consistency
Used Illustrator to create digital designs I will be talking about the process of designing the pins, working with manufacturers, and the costs involved. In this article, I will be discussing my experience designing and ordering my first set of animal pins to sell in my Etsy store.
