The #00 stainless steel insect pin has several important advantages for museum fashion displays. Many of the fabrics are priceless and having any extremely sharp, thin pin ensures minimum damage. They are very flexible, much more so than standard sewing pins & are practically invisible when used discreetly.
Entosphinx stainless steel pins are made from 316 grade stainless. 316 grade has a minimum of 0.36% molybdenum (Mo) for superior corrosion resistance. Why risk rust stains on valuable historical materials with questionable quality pins from "you know where"? See the Certificate of Analysis below for our guarantee of truly rust resistant insect /fabric fashion collection display pins.

Basically—huge thanks to Indigo Instruments for being a big part of my studio practice!

Ordered 100 magnifying glasses for a marketing project. First I started on Amazon, but they only allowed me to order 10 at a time. That was a waste of my time and a complete pain. Some of the orders were canceled because they couldn't …

Indigo Instruments has been a reliable source of affordable hand lenses for beginners in our earth sciences courses at McGill University. We tried other suppliers after coming across the occasional defective items (unavoidable in mass manufacturing). However, Indigo Instruments offers us the best quality:price ratio and attentive service among the many options we tried.
