GRADING FOR PINS :
Please note that enamel pins are handmade items, which means they will have minor flaws that can happen during the production process. This means no pin is ever going to be 100% perfect. Grading is based on the outcome of the batch and the front of the pin.
Standard / A Grade : Highest quality pins of the batch.
B Grade : Great quality pins! Will have more barely noticeable flaws than the standard grade pins.
C Grade : Cost effective pins. More visible, sometimes multiple flaws.
Please Note :
The bigger the pin, the more costly it is to produce. The same goes with the amount of colors and details. Pins with screenprinted details are also more expensive to make, and cannot be printed perfectly since they're hand printed.
Pins with glitter elements are tricky to work with due to the nature of the glitter materials. They also add to the cost of the pin.
GRADING FOR KEYCHAINS :
Keychains are also handmade items. Standard Keychains are the best of the batch.
Seconds have small scratches in the printed design or imperfections on the acrylic. These are discounted and more cost effective.
