Step-by-Step Guide to Technical Customization
Creating a high-quality custom medallion coin or custom medal requires precision in material and finish selection to reflect your brand's prestige.
Base Material & Weight: Choose Zinc Alloy for intricate 3D shapes or Brass for a heavier, high-value "heft"
Plating & Edge Detailing: Select from High-Polish Gold, Antique Silver, or Rose Gold. For commemorative coins, consider specialized diamond-cut or reeded edges to enhance the tactile experience.
Dimensionality (2D vs. 3D): 2D is ideal for clean logos with enamel colors, while 3D die-casting creates realistic, sculpted textures for portraits or landmarks.
Eco-Conscious Attachments: Pair your custom medals with sustainable RPET (recycled polyester) ribbons to align with corporate ESG goals, choosing between a standard V-sew or premium lobster claw attachment.
Technical Comparison of Medal Specifications
| Feature | Standard Option | Premium/Expert Choice | Impact on Quality |

Professional Printing & Finishing Techniques
Selecting the right finish ensures your custom coins maintain their visual integrity for decades.
Hard Enamel (Cloisonné): Polished to a flat, glass-like finish. It offers the highest durability and a smooth surface where metal and color are level.
Soft Enamel: Features recessed color areas and raised metal borders, providing a distinct tactile feel. Cost-effective for large-scale custom medals.
UV Printing with Epoxy: Best for complex gradients or photographic elements that cannot be achieved with enamel.
Comparison of Finishing Methods
| Method | Visual Quality | Durability | Best For |
| Hard Enamel | Ultra-Premium, Level | Extremely High | Long-term service awards |
| Soft Enamel | Traditional, Textured | High | Mass event participation |
| UV Printing | Photo-Realistic | Moderate (needs Epoxy) | Complex logos & gradients |
What are Custom Medals & Corporate Benefits
Custom medals and commemorative coins serve as enduring symbols of achievement and corporate identity. Unlike paper certificates, these metallic tokens possess an inherent "trophy value" that recipients retain for years, reinforcing brand loyalty and professional pride.
For Singapore businesses, these items are perfect for long-service awards, milestone anniversaries, or high-stakes sporting events. They transform a simple thank-you into a tangible legacy, enhancing the prestige of your organization’s recognition programs.
How do I Design for Metal Crafting
Vector Files Only: Submit artwork in AI, EPS, or PDF formats. Raster images (JPEG/PNG) lack the sharp lines required for die-molding.
Line Thickness: Maintain a minimum metal line thickness to ensure colours do not bleed and the mold remains structural.
Safe Zones: Keep critical text 1.5mm away from the edge of the custom coins to avoid clipping during the striking process.

Yes, we offer a sampling phase where a single unit is struck from the mold. Please note that mould fees usually apply even for single samples due to the tooling process.
Focus on the weight and edge detailing. A thickness of 33mm combined with a diamond-cut edge provides the density and "clink" sound associated with high-end minting.
