Year Service STAR Lapel Pin - Gold & Silver Plated Metal

In this review the PinMart Year Service STAR lapel pin is evaluated as a simple, formal way to mark long service at work or in volunteer roles. It is best for organizations that want a traditional metal emblem that looks premium without a high price. The single biggest reason to buy is the dual metal plating and weighty construction that make the pin feel like a real award rather than a flimsy token, while the clutch back keeps it secure on jackets, hats, or lanyards.

Key Features

• Years of service range: Available from 1 to 30 years so organizations can match the exact milestone they are recognizing.
• Dual plated metal: Die struck from jeweler's metal with both gold and silver plating for a two-tone, professional appearance.
• Sandblasted background: Textured background improves contrast so the star and year are clear on close inspection.
• Secure clutch backs: Each pin includes a butterfly or military clutch back and an anti-spin spur for reliable fastening to clothing or accessories.
• Individual or bulk packing: Pins are supplied individually poly bagged and also available in bulk, which is useful for large ceremonies or organizations.
• Compact size: Measuring about 7/8 in across, the pin is discreet enough for lapels and hats while still legible up close.

Who It's For

This lapel pin is a good fit for HR teams, volunteer coordinators, schools, clubs, and small businesses that need an affordable, classic award for milestone recognition. It works well when a uniform, blazer, or badge is part of the daily attire and a subtle, professional emblem is preferred.

Those who want a larger, more prominent plaque-level award or a customized emblem with engraved names should look elsewhere; this product is a small lapel pin designed for repeated yearly presentation rather than a display trophy.

Pros & Cons

Pros
