Date: 2025-02-06 Categories: INDUSTRY NEWS Hits: 8230


First: Clarify requirements and design

1:Determine the use


       ①The use determines the material, size and process (e.g., precious metals may be used for commemorative coins, wear-resistant alloys for game coins, and promotional coins may be more cost-conscious).


       ②Whether additional features are required (e.g. magnetic attraction, anti-counterfeit marking, numbering, etc.).


2:Design Pattern


       ①Double-sided pattern: Both sides can be customized with pattern, text, logo, high-definition vector drawing (such as AI, CDR format) is required.


       ②Size and thickness: common diameter 30-70mm, thickness 3-5mm (adjusted according to material and usage).


       ③Edge design: glossy edge, toothed edge, engraved edge, etc. (e.g. non-slip toothed edge common for coins).


3:Select Material


       ①Metallic materials: copper, zinc alloy, stainless steel, iron, silver, gold (in ascending order of cost).


       ②Non-metallic materials: ABS plastic, acrylic, epoxy resin (suitable for low-cost or lightweight needs).


       ③Surface technology: electroplating (gold, silver, bronze), antique, color printing, embossed effect, etc.


Second: Choosing a customized manufacturer

1: Finding suppliers

      ①Contact professional mint-we are specialized in customized double-sided coins, medals, keychains and so on.


      ②Prefer makers with experience in making and view cases.


2: Communication and proofing


      ①Provide the design, confirm the material, size and process details.


      ②Check the pattern clarity, material texture, etc. of the samples.


3: Confirm order details


      ①Quotation: Calculated according to the material, quantity and complexity of the process (MOQ is usually more than 100-          1000pcs).


      ②Delivery time: generally 7-15 days (may be extended for complex processes or large quantities).

 

      ③Contract: Clearly define the quality requirements, acceptance standards, payment methods and after-sales terms.



Third: The production process

1: Mold making


      ①Use a carving machine or 3D printing to create steel molds to ensure pattern accuracy and detail.


2: Material Processing


      ①Metal material: molding by stamping and die-casting; plastic material: injection molding.


3: Surface treatment


      ①Plating, spraying, laser engraving, color printing and other processes to enhance the visual effect.


      ②Add special coating (e.g. anti-oxidation, anti-scratch).


4: Quality inspection and packaging

  

      ①Manufacturer conducts sampling inspection on appearance, size and weight.


      ②Packaging: bulk, plastic, gift box (customized boxes are available)


Fourth: Precautions


1: Copyright and Law


      ①Ensure that the design pattern does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, especially the corporate logo           or art pattern.


      ②If used in circulation scenarios (e.g. tokens), they need to comply with local laws and regulations.


2: Budget Control


      ①Material and process are the main cost factors, zinc alloy is cost-effective, and precious metals (e.g. silver) are suitable               for high-end needs.


      ②The larger the quantity, the lower the unit price.


3: Acceptance Criteria

 

      ①Upon receipt of large shipment, check for defects (e.g. pattern misalignment, plating off, edge burrs).


Fifth: Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What is the minimum order quantity?

A: Usually the minimum order is 100-1000 coins, small batch customization is more costly.


Q: Can you make shaped coins (not round)?

A: Yes, but the mold cost is higher and the production cycle is longer.


Q: How long is the customization cycle?

A: 7-10 days for simple process, complex process (such as color printing + embossing) may take 15-30 days.
