Pin type
A pin built with a piece that travels along a track cut into the design.
Sliders carry the same structural requirement as spinners: the anchor needs metal behind it. A stick-and-puck blade will not hold one; a round central logo will.
Because the type changes the layout as well as the price, it is settled at proof stage, before tooling.
