Black and White
Lately, at the Clayton custom department, we have been noticing some really cool black and white designs created by our customers, and we wanted to show them off! All of these designs were created for white delrin picks, and they have a really classy look. Using a full bleed black and white design can create the illusion of having a patterned pick, such as the pick shown on the farthest left. There is a lot of freedom with these kinds of designs, even though only one color is used, and they are always eye-catching. Whether they are for a band, [...]
Pick of the Week, Foo Fighters
Our pick of the week for the first week of April is the Foo Fighters pick! We have been making picks for the Foo Fighters for a number of years. They always come up with some really neat design ideas, ranging from drawings

This means that, instead of having a small border around the design when it is on the pick, the design

Pick of the Week, Todd Simpson and Mojo Child
This week we selected a good example of a pick on our Ultem material.
We love this pick, because it uses all kind of different shades of brown on it. Ultem can only be imprinted with either brown, red or black. These colors look best with its Amber hue. Todd Simpson is a very accomplished musician. He has shared the state with the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Huey Lewis,Paul Thorn and Phil Lesh and friends. Todd plays blues combined with a southern rock vibe. He even recently preformed at the [...]
