Choose Your Custom Colours
If you would like a custom coin that includes colour, feel free to browse the Pantone+ (Solid Coated) chart for a full range of available colours that we can use for enamel ink fill or screen printing. Please let us know which colour(s) you would like in the notes section of our "Request a Quote" form. Full colour printed coins are created using process CMYK, so Pantone colours are not necessary.

What is Recessed Enamel or Soft Enamel Ink Fill?
A brilliantly vibrant effect and one of our most popular branding styles for commemorative coins. We iron stamp your design into the coin and then fill sections of it with Pantone colour-matched enamel ink, this creates a beautiful and extremely long-lasting finish. The main difference between soft enamel and hard enamel is that soft enamel is recessed to give an almost 3D look and feel, where hard enamel has raised ink that gives it a more flat look and feel.
What is Raised Enamel or Hard Enamel Ink Fill?
A beautiful and durable effect, this method is a long-lasting alternative to our other branding styles for custom coins. We iron stamp your design into the coin and then fill sections of it with Pantone colour-matched enamel ink. The main difference between hard enamel and soft enamel is that hard enamel has raised ink that gives it a more flat look and feel, where soft enamel is recessed to give an almost 3D look and feel.
What is Screen Printing?
Screen printing allow us to Pantone colour-match simpler graphics and logos in up to 5 colours. We then preserve the artwork with a smooth, hard epoxy top coating that is designed to keep the challenge coin looking crisp for years! This print method also offers a sharper, more crisp looking result than with full colour digital printing.
With both enamel styles as well as screen printing, we use colours that are matched to the Pantone+ (Solid Coated) "C" colour library.
What is Full Colour Digital Printing?
This method allows for a stunning full colour display of your logo, photo images, or designs with gradient patterns. We can produce brilliant, complex designs that can't be achieved through stamping with ink fill or screen printing. We also preserve the artwork with a smooth, hard epoxy top coating that is designed to keep the commemorative coin looking crisp for years!
What is Iron Stamped Mould & Polish?
This style of customization features an iron stamp moulding of your design followed by polishing and sand blasting the coin to create a contrasting finish that helps bring your logo, message, emblem or shield out of the background metal. Due to the fact these custom coins do not have any ink fill to chip or print to wear off, they remain in pristine condition for much longer. The finished result is quite impressive and can last for decades!
How It Works
Our graphic team is happy to take your logo or vector artwork and turn it into a stunning commemorative coin design, and in some cases we can even trace an image to make it suitable for coin production (vectoring fee may apply).
If you're thinking of submitting your own production-ready artwork, there are a few things to consider when designing custom challenge coins:
- All ink fill areas should be at least 0.4mm diameter for soft enamel, or 0.5mm for hard enamel
- All metal colour-separation lines should be at least 0.125mm wide for soft enamel, or 0.25mm for hard enamel
- We use inks to match the Pantone+ (Solid Coated) "C" colour library, so all CMYK or RGB colours would need to be converted
- Since enamel coins can only accept solid colours, we can't use gradients or half-tones on the artwork, but if you want to achieve a more photographic style coin then we recommend using a printed method instead
- As a general rule for moulded and polished style coins (with no enamel or printing), you should follow the same guidelines as soft enamel, but in some cases we can achieve higher levels of detail
