1. WHY PINPERIUM

A curated brand instead of a noisy marketplace.

Pinperium is built around carefully selected artists, cohesive 5-pin series, and collectible presentation. The goal is simple: fewer designs, stronger selection, better impact.

CLEAR POSITIONING

Fewer designs, stronger selection, better impact.

COLLECTOR FOCUS

Packaging, collectibility, and storytelling are designed for desirability.

PARTNERSHIP-MINDED

10% royalty, a clear contract, and transparent communication instead of a buyout mindset.

2. PROCESS

Three clear steps from portfolio to a 5-pin artist series.

First we review the fit. Then we select motifs and shape them into a series of exactly 5 pins. Broader bodies of work are divided into multiple distinct 5-pin series. Finally, the result becomes a curated release with a clear royalty model.

01

PORTFOLIO & FIT

We review your style, your themes, and whether your work fits the curated Pinperium universe.

02

DESIGN, CONTRACT & PRODUCTION

We select artworks that translate well into collectible enamel pins.

03

LAUNCH & ROYALTY

The series launches as a curated release with storytelling, presentation, and a 10% royalty on every pin sold based on the artist’s design.

3. WHY JOIN

For artists who want more than just another merch item.

Pinperium is built for visually distinctive artists who care about presentation, authorship, and collectible products with a reliable framework.

VISIBILITY WITH CONTEXT

Your work is not merely sold — it is presented inside a brand world with point of view, context, and collector appeal.

REAL PARTICIPATION

The 10% royalty makes it immediately clear that Pinperium is built around partnership, not extraction.

SECURITY THROUGH CONTRACT

A clear contract creates security around rights, usage, compensation, and responsibilities.

DEDICATED ARTIST PAGE

Each collaborating artist receives a dedicated page inside the Pinperium shop with their profile, story, and full 5-pin series in one place.

SELECTED ARTIST LINKS

Selected links to the artist’s Instagram, website, or portfolio may also be included, giving collectors a direct way to discover and follow the artist beyond Pinperium.

CURATED DISTRIBUTION

Pinperium releases are available through the Pinperium shop and may also appear in selected design stores, museum shops, and curated retail partners.

5. FAQ

The key questions before applying.

Short and clear: contract, rights, royalties, suitability, and style.

Is there a contract for the collaboration?

Yes. Every collaboration is governed by a written contract. The agreement clarifies rights, usage, compensation, approvals, and the responsibilities of both sides.

Do I keep ownership of my artwork?

In a typical artist collaboration, Pinperium receives defined usage rights for the agreed products. The authorship stays with the artist and the exact terms are set in writing.

How does the 10% royalty work?

You receive a 10% royalty on every pin sold based on your design. The exact contractual structure is defined before production starts.

Can existing art be adapted?

Yes, if the motif is suitable for enamel pin production and all rights are cleared. Some designs may need simplification for manufacturing.

How many pins are usually part of one artist series?

As a rule, we plan every artist series as a clear 5-pin series. Broader bodies of work are not released as one oversized block, but intentionally structured into multiple distinct 5-pin series.

Do artists get their own page in the shop?

Yes. Each collaboration includes a dedicated artist page inside the shop, presenting the artist, the story behind the work, and the complete series in one curated space. Selected social or portfolio links may also be included.

Where are the pins sold?

Pins are sold through the Pinperium online shop and may also be distributed through selected retail partners such as museum shops, design stores, or other curated points of sale.

A short message is enough to start

6. CONTACT

Interested?

A simple reach-out is enough to start the conversation.

You do not need to prepare a full submission package. A short introduction and a link to your portfolio, Instagram or website are enough for a first conversation. If there is a fit, we can review suitable artworks together from there.

  • • A short intro about you and your work
  • • A link to your portfolio / Behance / Instagram / website
  • • No production-ready files required for the first step
  • • If there is a fit, we review suitable artworks together and take it from there

Selected artists will be contacted directly
