Rhinestone brooches are produced in several construction types: stamped metal base with prong-set or glued stones, cast or die-cut metal base with rhinestone fill, fabric or organza flower base with hotfix stones, and acrylic or resin base with rhinestone accent. Each has different weight, cost, and production minimum. Specify the construction type in the brief.
Custom brooch designs can be requested, subject to tooling requirements and production minimums for the chosen construction method. Die-cut or cast bases typically require tooling for custom shapes. Submit authorized artwork at production scale with material and stone preferences before tooling costs are confirmed.
Common pin back types include standard c-clasp pin, locking safety pin, stick pin with clasp, and magnetic backing. Each has different security levels and garment compatibility. Specify the pin back type in the brief — the choice affects production and retail safety requirements.
Minimums depend on construction type, custom vs catalog design, stone count, size, and packing. No universal minimum applies. Custom-shaped brooches require tooling minimums in addition to production minimums. Confirm both in the written quote before committing to a program.
