Project records
Real completed trading-pin orders: what was asked for, how many proof rounds it took, what it shipped as, and what we learned. No invented testimonials, no guessed specifications.
6 of 13 records
Hanover · MA · South Shore · club · hockey
A returning customer who couldn't name the style he wanted, whose final design was reverse-engineered from a decade-old pin someone dug out of a drawer at the rink.
Baxter · MN · Brainerd Lakes · association · hockey
An entire association covered by one order — 1,500 pins on a single invoice, with a rush that TPC had to chase the factory to protect.
Pennsville · NJ · South Jersey · hockey
A South Jersey 12AA team on a hard January deadline — routed by freight forward specifically to avoid the tariff.
Chaska · MN · hockey
Three teams from one Minnesota association, three separate orders, two different families — and a puzzle-piece pin set that had to be re-engineered so it would survive production.
Westerville · OH · Columbus metro · hockey
A 1.5-inch order — below the 2-inch trading floor TPC normally recommends — and the smallest pin in the sample.
Philadelphia · PA · Delaware Valley · 13U AA · hockey
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.
