All About Custom Backstamps

What’s a backstamp? Exactly what it sounds like. Backstamps are recessed or raised images stamped onto the back of a custom pin with a separate mold. Unlike a shirt tag or a product label, which are legally required, adding a custom backstamp is up to you but they’re highly recommended, especially if you plan on retailing your custom pins.

Backstamping maximizes space on both the front and back of a pin design. With many clients using the backstamps for logos, business names, personal signatures or sequential numbering on a limited run. However, depending on your contracts and work with other businesses or organizations, you might also use a backstamp for copyright information.
