Orlando Pin Company is a pin finder for this metro. People write before a park day, a trip out of MCO, or a gift that has to live in a hotel room on International Drive. The language is enamel, souvenir, and hat, and the day those pins have to survive. Publisher: Orlando Pin Company and Tabaconda LLC.
A drawing or a mark comes in. Color sits in a metal line. A needle goes through cloth. A clutch holds the back. Prefer email? Use our contact page.
What we make
Hard enamel, polished flush with the metal line. Soft enamel, color recessed, metal standing. A lapel disc. A hat pin on a cap. A souvenir-style city line or skyline meant to travel home. A shape from a drawing you already have.
The families are enamel, souvenir, and hat, plus trading, park, and gift on the catalog. They share hardware. They differ in subject and in the cloth they live on. A hat pin is still enamel; the cap is the difference. A souvenir-style pin is still enamel; the city is the difference.
Read the days in full: what to carry on an Orlando park day, packing pins for split stays, gifting a pin from Orlando. Craft: how an enamel pin is made, how to take a pin home, how a hat pin sits on a cap. A starter board is where a first collection lives; starter-board kits cover cork, felt, and extra backs. The quieter note on how this outlet differs from a boutique is there if you want it.
This city
Orlando is part of the name because it is part of the work. Park weeks fill the hotels on the west side. International Drive runs like a second downtown for visitors. Actual downtown sits by the lake, with its own evenings. Lake Nona has grown out toward the airport. I-4 is the spine everyone complains about and still uses.
A pin from here should feel like it can take that weather. Humidity on a cap. A bag on a shuttle. A jacket from a convention hall to a rental car. The enamel is the same craft you would see anywhere; the context is this town.
Hotels here run their own gift shops. A pin you pick up at a hotel front desk is that shop’s pin. A pin from Orlando Pin Company is ours. Enamel, souvenir-style, or hat, from a drawing or a mark.
Enamel, souvenir, hat
Those three names are not three stores. They are three ways of talking about the same pin.
Enamel is the surface. Hard enamel is polished until color and metal share one plane and one shine. Soft enamel leaves the color recessed so the metal line stands and the drawing has a fingertip. Both bake hard. Both use a needle and a clutch.
Souvenir is the subject. A city line. A skyline. A trip mark for a park week, an International Drive afternoon, a downtown evening by the lake. The pin is still enamel. The city is what it is about.
Hat is the cloth. A cap in the heat. A bag on a shuttle. A jacket from a hotel to I-4. The hardware does not change. The place you wear it does.
A drawing can sit in more than one family. A skyline on a cap is souvenir and hat. A mark for a conference week downtown can be enamel on a lapel. Name the family that matches how you will wear it.
From a drawing
Bring a line. It does not have to be a finished die drawing. A city word, a simple skyline, a mark you already use. The conversation is enamel language: which fields hold color, whether you want the flush shine of hard enamel or the tactile line of soft enamel, whether the pin is meant for a cap in park-week humidity or a jacket that stays on a hook at home.
