California, USA - August 14, 2025 - U.S.-based promotional product manufacturer GS-JJ has released its 2025 second-half custom pin craft trends, introducing nine innovative techniques that combine mechanical design, digital technology, and contemporary visual styles. The release reflects the increasing demand for promotional products that go beyond decoration, offering interactive, customizable, and purposeful experiences.

The techniques were developed by GS-JJ’s in-house team, based on client feedback and trend analysis conducted over the past year. The aim is to expand how lapel pins can be applied across branding, retail merchandising, and commemorative campaigns.

Key Trends Released by GS-JJ:

• Lenticular Motion PinsFeature optical lens printing and spring-button elements to create animated visual effects that shift with the viewing angle.

• Gradient Transparency PinsUtilize translucent enamel with gradient color blending, combined with magnetic components to support modular display options.

• Cut-Out Transparency PinsMerge hollowed metal structures with light-responsive transparent color fillings for clean, minimalistic designs.

• Layered 3D PinsUse stacked die-cut layers to create textured surfaces and depth, with the added option of magnetic backing.

• Magnetic Frame PinsInclude swappable inserts secured by magnets—ideal for displaying interchangeable logos, graphics, or photographs.

• NFC Smart Rotating PinsEmbed NFC chips in rotatable pin structures, allowing users to wirelessly share digital content through mobile devices.

• Bearing-Spring PinsIntegrate mechanical bearings and spring features for smooth, tactile kinetic motion.

• Illuminated Rotating PinsCombine LED lights and rotating elements to produce enhanced visual effects in low-light settings.

• Interlocking Gear PinsFeature miniature gear systems that create synchronized mechanical motion with an industrial-inspired aesthetic.

According to a Marketing Specialist at GS-JJ, the company’s objective is to align traditional craft manufacturing with current expectations for personalization and technological integration:

"These designs are intended to help brands and organizations stand out in an increasingly competitive promotional market. Our clients are asking for more than just decorative items—they want products that create interaction and carry meaning."
