Hockey Trading Pins / Hockey Pins

 

 

Custom hockey trading pins have burst onto the pin collector scene and look to only get more popular as an ever larger number of tournaments introduce hockey pin trading between their clubs. Many teams with different divisions or age groUPS will create custom hockey pins with a common mascot or theme, changing the age or group name or the layout of the trading pins only slightly. This allows each team their own individual recognition while all the hockey pins reflect the parent organization.

 

Additionally, many clubs partnered with NHL teams will create custom hockey pins reflecting the NHL pins of the associated team, allowing the team to show their sponsorship with pride. Hockey trading pins allow a large amount of flexibility within the designs, and some of the most stylized and creative custom trading pins are hockey collecting pins.

 

 

Things to remember when ordering your Hockey Trading Pins:

Know when your event date is scheduled, and order your hockey pins early! Make sure your custom hockey trading pins have plenty of time to reach you, and be sure to beat the rush when tournament time comes around. Plan ahead with the team and formulate a game plan for voting on a concept or design idea for your hockey pins, working with our graphic artists to create the hockey trading pin layout and the creation and shipping process required to deliver your custom hockey pins to you. Planning to have the pins arrive at least a week beforehand is a great way to ensure that unanticipated shipping delays don't hold up your custom hockey pins reaching you in time.

 

 

 

Make sure you take enough hockey pins to your event! Many teams err on the side of ordering less custom hockey pins, then find out once their tournament starts that they did not order enough to trade with all the teams. Contact the tournament coordinator and find out how many players, refs, family members and coaches will be attending, and many times the director will be able to help estimate the number of custom hockey pins teams traditionally bring to the event.

 

Use the best pin style for your hockey pin design! The vast majority of NHL pins, hockey college pins and amateur hockey pins are the cloisonne soft enamel style pins. This is the thickest, heaviest pin and has a much higher perceived value than the thinner photo etched style. If your budget requires a smaller than normal pin size, photo etched can capture a small amount of additional detail. If a team photo or a logo with gradients is used, the offset digitally printed style is the style to choose.
