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.
