Enamel Pin Design FAQ
Common answers about factory files, MOQ, commercial use, and campaign workflows.
What does Otsu produce?
A factory-ready PDF with bleed, CMYK colors, Pantone hints, and a Dieline layer. Hand it to any enamel pin manufacturer for a quote — no extra prep needed.
How long does it take?
90 seconds from prompt to factory-ready files. Faster than brewing coffee.
What's the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Otsu doesn't require any MOQ — we hand off files. Most pin manufacturers ask 50-100 pieces; some go as low as 10. Use our pin cost calculator to estimate.
Can I use Otsu designs commercially?
Yes — Etsy listings, Kickstarter campaigns, artist alley booths, conventions, all yours. We don't take a cut.
Can I upload my own photo or sketch?
Yes. Upload JPG / PNG / sketch on the /from-photo page and Otsu vectorizes the silhouette.
Does Otsu support hard enamel and soft enamel?
Both. The factory-ready PDF includes a Dieline layer that works for cloisonné (hard) and soft enamel processes.
What pin sizes does Otsu support?
Standard 1 inch / 1.25 inch / 1.5 inch / 2 inch sizes are pre-configured. Use the pin size visualizer tool to compare.
Is Otsu suitable for Kickstarter pin campaigns?
Yes — see /for/kickstarter-creators. Factory PDF + cost calculator + size visualizer cover the artwork prep stage of a campaign.
