Guides & Resources
Five guides that answer the questions buyers actually ask before ordering custom coins and medals:
what the mold fee is, what artwork to send, which enamel to pick, what size to order, and which
plating reads right. Every fact on these pages is the same one we quote from.
- Mold fees explained — why every custom order has one, what $80–$300 buys, and why a reorder within 24 months pays $0.
- Artwork guide — what to send when all you have is a phone photo, plus the 1.5 mm text rule and the six-colour ceiling.
- Soft enamel vs hard enamel — the tactile difference, the durability difference, and the one combination that never works.
- Challenge coin sizes & thickness — the complete chart from 1.5" to 3", with the 2.25× geometry rule for big coins.
- Plating & edge options — antique vs bright, black nickel, dual plating, and which edge hides pocket wear.
All five guides share the site's terms: MOQ 50 pieces, a one-time $80–$300 mold fee, 18–25 days
production, a free digital proof within 24 hours, and the only published price band — $3.50–$4.20
per piece for a 2" two-sided enamel coin at 100–299 pieces. If a number matters to your decision,
it is on one of these pages or it is one email away: request a quote and a
person replies within two business hours.
