The Advanced Guide to Different Plating Colors

Metal pins can be plated in various metal colors. Plating refers to the metal used for the pin, either 100% or in combination with color enamels. All our pins are available in a variety of finishes. Gold, silver, bronze, black nickel and copper are the most commonly used platings. Die-Struck pins can also be plated in an antique finish; the raised areas can be polished and recessed areas matte or textured.

They both are black, but the plated black nickel is a kind of metallic bright black, bright and reflective, so it does not look particularly dark, and even looks like silvery when reflective. Dye black is to dye the whole product with black pigment, Because the pigment is dyed, the surface of the product is not particularly reflective and looks very dark. The disadvantage is that it is not as bright as a black nickel.
