Quick answer
Display your pin badges on a fabric banner, corkboard, or dedicated pin display case to keep them visible and secure. For The Army Painter collectible pins, use a soft backing to protect the enamel finish.
Why display method matters for enamel pins
Enamel pin badges have a glossy, durable finish, but they can scratch if stored loose in a drawer or against hard surfaces. Choosing the right display method keeps your collectibles in good condition while making them easy to see and enjoy.
The Army Painter pin badges, such as the John Blanche portrait or Speedpaint logo, feature vibrant artwork that looks best when shown off. A fabric or cork backing prevents metal-to-metal contact and reduces the risk of damage.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to display pin badges without damaging them?
Use a fabric-covered corkboard, a felt display banner, or a pin display case with a soft foam insert. Avoid hard plastic or metal backings that can scratch the enamel. For The Army Painter pins, a simple corkboard with a fabric overlay works well and is easy to change.
Can I wear my pin badges on clothing or bags?
Yes, enamel pin badges are designed to be worn. Use a locking pin back or a rubber clutch to keep them secure. Be careful with delicate fabrics—place a small piece of felt behind the pin to prevent the metal clasp from pulling threads. Locking pin backs add extra security for pins worn on bags or jackets.
How do I store pin badges when not on display?
Store them in a soft pouch or a dedicated pin binder with clear plastic pages. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you have multiple pins, separate them with felt or foam sheets to avoid scratches. Pin binders with plastic sleeves are a compact and protective storage option.
How do I clean my enamel pin badges?
Wipe them gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging the pin in water, as moisture can get behind the enamel.
