Quick answer
Display your Hill City Howlers cap collector pins on a fabric board or cap to show off the design, and store them in a padded case or pin binder to prevent scratches and tarnish.
Why display and storage matter for enamel pins
Enamel pins like the Hill City Howlers Cap Collector Pin are made with metal and enamel, which can scratch or tarnish if stored loosely. Displaying them properly also lets you show off the unique character designs, like Indy the Werewolf or Murray the Mummy, without damaging the pin's finish.
Trade-offs: display vs. storage
Displaying pins on a cap or bag exposes them to dust and occasional bumps, which can loosen the clutch backing. Storing them in a closed case protects them but hides the designs. A rotating display approach gives you both benefits.
How to display and store your cap collector pins
- Attach securely to a display surface: Push the pin through a fabric surface like a cap, bag, or corkboard and fasten the metal clutch backing tightly. For thicker fabrics, use a rubber backing for extra grip. Check the clutch monthly; loose backings are the top cause of lost pins.
- Rotate pins to reduce wear: If you display multiple pins, swap their positions every few weeks. This prevents one pin from rubbing against another and scratching the enamel. Use a pin display board with individual slots to keep pins separated.
- Store pins in a padded case or binder: Remove pins from display before storing. Place each pin in a soft-lined case or a pin binder page with individual pockets. Avoid stacking pins directly on top of each other. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Clean pins gently before storing: Wipe the pin with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or oils. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water and dry immediately. Never use abrasive cleaners or polish. Skip cleaning if the pin already looks pristine to avoid unnecessary handling.
