Plating Options
Edging options
Edge detailing adds an extra layer of personality and craftsmanship to your custom coin. From clean flat edges to rope cuts, spur edges, cross cuts, and other textured styles, edging can subtly enhance the overall feel and appearance of the design while giving the coin a more finished and substantial look in hand.
Choose from a variety of traditional edge styles or create something completely custom to match your vision. Whether you want a classic military look, a bold tactical feel, or a unique custom pattern, edge options help make your product stand out even further.
ENAMEL FINISHES
Enamel finishes help define the color, texture, and overall style of your custom coin. From traditional soft enamel and imitation hard enamel to transparent colors, glitter enamel, epoxy coatings, and printed finishes, each option creates a different visual effect and feel. Some finishes emphasize depth and texture, while others create a smooth, polished appearance with vibrant detail.
Many of these options can also be combined to create a completely unique look. Mixing enamel styles, printed details, and specialty effects allows you to add extra depth, contrast, and personality to your design while highlighting the most important features of your artwork.

Absolutely. Many of our most popular challenge coins combine several manufacturing techniques, such as 3D sculpting, soft enamel, UV printing, cut-outs, and antique finishes, to create a unique design.
Soft enamel leaves the metal lines raised above the colored areas, creating texture and depth. Hard enamel is polished completely smooth, resulting in a jewelry-quality finish that’s extremely durable.
Antique silver and antique gold remain the most requested finishes because they highlight fine details while providing a timeless military appearance.
Popular options include rope, diamond cut, spur, cross cut, reeded, flat, oblique, and custom engraved edges.
