Generally yes. A reorder avoids some of the artwork and setup costs carried by a new design, so it usually costs less per coin than starting from scratch.

The mechanism is tooling. A new coin needs a die cut specifically for its artwork, and that is a one-time cost absorbed by the first production run. Because we retain molds and production information, an identical reorder can skip that stage rather than paying for it again.

What can still move the price: quantity, which works exactly as it does on a first order, so larger runs cost less per coin; materials; freight; and general production costs, which change over time. A reorder placed three years later is not automatically priced at the original figure.

Two situations remove the saving. If the original mold is more than five years old, new tooling is required. And if the design itself changes substantially, rather than just a date or a name, the coin is effectively new.

What is definitely cheaper on every reorder is your time. There is no design stage, no revision rounds and no approval chain to work through again. Production still takes 45 to 50 days.

If you run a recurring coin, such as an annual department coin or one per academy class, ask about ordering ahead rather than reordering repeatedly.
