Branded lapel pins — corporate merch in the UAE
Custom lapel pins for ENBD staff recognition, hotel concierge, GITEX exhibitor packs and tourism-board programmes. Enamel, embossed metal and soft enamel, MOQ 100 units, 10–14 working days.
Why a UAE hotel concierge pin is different from a GITEX exhibitor pin
A hotel concierge pin at the Address or Burj Al Arab sits on a lapel for two years between uniform refreshes. The finish has to be premium — hard enamel, never soft, and the butterfly clutch has to be solid brass. A GITEX exhibitor pin is handed to a tech visitor at the Dubai World Trade Centre booth and gets worn for four days. The finish can be soft enamel or printed aluminium, the clutch can be a budget pin. We've delivered 4,000-piece ENBD service-anniversary pins, 25,000-piece GITEX exhibitor pins, and 1,500-piece hotel concierge pins.
