BUYER FAQ
Challenge coin FAQ
Clear answers reduce revision loops and help your sales or retail team launch with confidence.
What is the usual minimum order for custom coins?+
Many factories quote around 50–100 pieces per design. The practical minimum depends on tooling, number of versions, finish and packaging, so confirm it with the RFQ.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D relief?+
2D coins use defined raised and recessed levels and work well for logos and enamel. 3D sculpting adds rounded contours and depth for mascots, faces and objects.
Which edge and plating options can I specify?+
Common edges include plain, rope, diamond-cut, reeded and custom patterns. Finishes include polished or antique gold, silver, copper, black nickel and dual plating.
How long does a custom coin order take?+
A typical sample takes about 7–10 days after artwork approval; bulk production is commonly 7–15 days, then shipping is added for the destination.
Can I approve artwork and a sample before production?+
Yes. Confirm front, back, edge, relief, plating and color on a digital proof, then approve a physical sample when the specification requires it.
