Designing a custom challenge coin involves several crucial steps to ensure the final product meets your expectations and serves its intended purpose. The first step is conceptualization, where you decide on the theme, purpose, and overall design elements you want the coin to have. This could range from military insignias for a unit to corporate logos for a company event. Sketch out your ideas or work with a graphic designer to create initial drafts. Once you have a basic concept, decide on the size, shape, and materials for the coin. These factors will significantly impact the coin's look and feel. It's also the stage where you'll decide on any special features like numbering, text, or additional design elements like cut-outs or 3D designs.
After finalizing the design, the next step is to find a reputable manufacturer to bring your vision to life.
