Pin type

Spinner pins

A pin built with an element mounted on a rivet so it rotates in place — usually a logo, a puck or a ball.

A spinner is a construction choice, not a component added to a finished pin. It changes the tooling, so it is quoted at its own per-pin price: on one 2.5-inch soft enamel order at 250 pieces, $3.44 per pin standard against $4.09 per pin as a spinner.

The rotating element needs solid metal around its anchor point. Round, chunky, central shapes spin; delicate outlying ones do not.

The team that let its 13-year-olds vote on the final artwork — and chose standard construction over a spinner build to put every player's number on the pin instead.
