What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits

- Enamel colour is hand filled and baked to withstand repeated handling and storage
- Polished gold silver or antique plating options available on the same die for consistent branding
- One artwork proof covers all variations so gold silver and bronze versions stay visually aligned
- Made in-house so revisions are handled directly between you and the team striking the die

Problems It Solves
- Stock challenge coins have generic designs that do not reflect your team or theme
- Printed or sticker-on coins wear off after handling and lose their sharp appearance
- Colour shifts between reorders when different batches use different enamel mixes
- Plating finishes do not match across multiple coins when made by separate suppliers
- Late design changes are difficult to implement if the supplier does not have in-house artwork support

Use Guide
- Send vector artwork if possible so small details remain sharp during striking
- Keep text above roughly two millimetres tall to avoid filling in during enamel application

- Order a few extra coins per batch to cover losses or ties
- Store coins in their bags until use to prevent fingerprints on plating
