Recycled Acrylic Pins

Free Artwork Setup

We offer free artwork setup with every order. Simply upload your images using the 'Upload Artwork' option or email them directly to hello@merchkind.com, and we'll do the rest.

We accept the following file formats in both CMYK and RGB image files, but please note that RGB files will be converted to CMYK for printing, which may slightly affect final colours...

.psd, .jpg, .png, .eps, .ai, .svg

We recommend ordering a sample of your design before proceeding with a larger order, to ensure that you are happy with how your final product will look.

Borders

We add a thin 1mm border around the edge of your design, which creates a more durable finished product.

What material are these pins made from?
Our recycled acrylic pins are made from 100% recycled acrylic, sourced and manufactured in the UK.

How is the printing done?
We use reverse digital printing (i.e. printing on the back side of the acrylic) so your design shows through the front. This protects the artwork and gives a clean finish.

Is the printing one-sided or two-sided?
This product is single-sided. The artwork is printed on the reverse side of the acrylic so it shows through the clear face.

If you would like both sides printing, we also offer double-sided acrylic charms.

Will the back of the charm also show the design?
No , the back is covered with a solid white layer of ink behind the print, to give contrast and opacity.

What sizes and quantities are available?
You can choose from multiple size variants (15 mm, 25 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 65 mm, 80 mm, 95 mm) and quantity packs (1, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000).

What attachment / backing do the badges use?
Each badge comes fitted with a metal butterfly clutch style pin clasp, which is much more secure than a rubber style clutch and will keep your pin badges safely attached.

Do you add any border to the design?
Yes, we automatically add a 1 mm border around your artwork to protect the edges and increase durability.

What’s the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our minimum order is 1 charm, making it easy to test new ideas before placing a larger order.

Can I upload my own artwork?
Yes! Upload your artwork using the 'Upload Artwork' button when placing your order or send your artwork to hello@merchkind.com along with your order number.

What file formats and colour modes do you accept?
We accept most file formats, including .psd, .jpg, .png, .eps, .ai, .svg. We accept RGB and CMYK files, however please note we will convert all designs to CMYK for printing.

Do you provide a proof before production?
We don’t send digital proofs — there’s really no need! We just add a tiny 1 mm border and a small hole to your artwork before production.

How long does production take?
View our 'Turnaround Times' tab on our product pages for up to date production times.

How is shipping handled?
We ship all orders from our UK studio using tracked and reliable couriers. UK delivery is free for orders over £130, and international shipping is available at checkout.

What’s your returns policy for custom items?
Because every order is made to your design, we can’t accept returns for custom items unless there’s a fault or production error, in which case, we’ll replace or refund immediately.

Do you guarantee colour accuracy?
We do our best to keep colours as true to your original artwork as possible, but exact colour matching isn’t guaranteed. Variations can occur due to differences in monitor displays, the natural materials we print on, and the colour profiles used by both your design software and our printers.

Can I order a sample first?
Yes. We highly recommend ordering a sample charm of your artwork before committing to a full run, ideal for checking colours, cut, and finish.

Can I include multiple designs in one order?
Of course. Depending on the quantity of products ordered, you can have up to 5 unique designs per order.

Can I have more than 5 design per order?
Sorry, not in a single order. If you’d like to include more than 5 designs, you’ll just need to place an additional order for the extra designs.

What printing technique do you use?
We use direct-to-wood UV printing, which bonds your artwork to the surface for a long-lasting, fade-resistant finish.

Will the print fade over time?
Not easily. Our UV inks are durable, scratch-resistant, and fade-resistant, even with everyday use.

Can I change or cancel my order?
You can make changes or cancel your order as long as production hasn’t started. Once we’ve begun production, we’re unable to make any changes or cancellations.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Postage rates and delivery times vary depending on your location and will be shown at checkout.

Is VAT included?
All prices on our website include VAT for UK customers. International buyers may be subject to local taxes, customs or import duties.

What if my order arrives damaged?
If your order arrives damaged or defective, email us within 7 days of delivery with photos. We’ll replace or refund right away, no fuss.

What is your price match or guarantee?
If you find a UK supplier offering the same product under the same conditions, we’ll beat that price by 5% (subject to verification). See terms.

We aim to dispatch every order within 5 to 10 business days.

During busy periods, such as the run-up to Christmas, our turnaround times may be a little longer. If this happens, we’ll always do our best to keep you informed.
