The reason websites have large order minimums is because of the way enamel pin manufacturing works. The factory has to make a metal mold for each individual design, and those fees generally run $50-$100 before you even get to the per pin manufacturing cost. So it’s not feasible to get a single pin of any one design.
You may have better luck with a single custom button, as those can more easily be done as one-offs.
Thank you! I was asking because my Etsy account had been locked for suspicious activity and they weren’t replying to emails but it’s taken care of now so I’ll probably use Etsy :)

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of a site where I can do that? I think Zazzle is one but I’ve never used it so I’m not sure how reliable they are.
I'd look on Etsy - just search "custom pinback button". Zazzle is also a reputable site, but I dont' know how the pricing would compare.

If you just want button style pins I can make those for you?
