Do you offer custom pin templates?

Yes! Each [custom pin](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-pins) includes a protective film to prevent scratching.

A clear laminate protects the back of the pin and helps reduce chipping. __The backside laminate should not be removed.__

If you have difficulty peeling the film, we recommend trying one of these methods:

- Rub your finger on the edge to help loosen it.
- Use a hairdryer on a low-heat setting for 10 seconds to loosen the adhesion.
- Place a piece of tape on top of the pin, then peel it off slowly from the edge.
