Challenge Coin FAQs

Answers about custom challenge coins.

How does laser engraving compare to traditional stamping?

Laser engraving offers several advantages: no minimum order quantity, faster turnaround (days vs. weeks), lower setup costs, and the ability to capture extremely fine details. Traditional stamping is better for very high volumes (10,000+) or when you need raised (embossed) elements. For most custom coin needs, laser engraving provides the best balance of quality and flexibility.

Can you add color to challenge coins?

Yes. After laser engraving, we can fill the recessed areas with durable enamel paint in any color. This creates the classic challenge coin look with vibrant colors in the design elements. We offer a wide range of enamel colors and can match specific brand or unit colors.

What are typical challenge coin sizes?

Standard challenge coins are 1.75 inches in diameter. We also offer 1.5" coins (popular for smaller budgets or giveaway items) and 2" coins (for premium presentation). Custom shapes and sizes are available, contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Do you offer edge engraving?

Yes, we offer edge engraving on most challenge coin sizes. This is a popular option for adding unit mottos, serial numbers, or years to the edge of the coin. Edge engraving is done as a separate step after the face and back are complete.
