A Bold Difference: Digital Print Coins Stand Out

Custom challenge coins come in many different shapes, sizes, styles, and colors. No matter how large or small, a challenge coin is designed to stand out and tell a story. 

Creating custom coins is easy, and there are multiple ways to make them memorable. Designing a challenge coin from scratch is actually a lot easier than you might imagine. At ChallengeCoins4Less.com, we can walk you through every step of the process from design to production to shipping. We’re dedicated to ensuring the coins you receive are exactly what you have in mind.

Bold, Vivid Details

With companies seeking new ways to stand out and create eye-catching coins, let's take a look at digital print coins. These custom coins feature rich, vivid details and striking colors. They provide businesses and organizations with a new way to market themselves, boasting bold elements that will truly stand out among the other coins. While you can add color to any challenge coin, digital print coins take adding color to new heights, doing so with outstanding detail. 

The Digital Difference

What makes digital print coins different? The fact that they feature color printed directly onto the coin surface. This adds much greater appeal and a rich look through the use of realistic colors and gradients, and allows detailed reproduction of fine lines in the imagery. With the right design, you can even get near-photographic quality to your images.

Digital print is particularly well-suited for 3D coins, giving them a greater burst of color than traditional soft enamel color painted coins will. The printed color gives them extra dramatic look that other styles can’t match.

Not Just More Detail – More Colors, Too

You can add virtually any color to your coin for a one-of-a-kind look with depth and appeal. Digital printing enables you to choose from a wider range of colors than other color methods, without the need for additional color fees. With other styles, more than five colors usually will result in an extra charge. Not so with digital printed coins.

You also can leave parts of your design unprinted. The resulting exposed metal look will complement and contrast with the colors of your design to create a truly striking look.

Other Differences From Soft Enamel Coins

Digital print coins feature a smooth surface, unlike the raised and recessed surfaces of soft enamel painted coins. Digital coins benefit from an epoxy coating to protect the surface from wear.

Creating Digital Print Coins

Digital print coins are an ideal way to create elaborate elements, even QR codes, faces, intricate logos, and text. The art and text you choose will express the purpose and power behind the coin. They can include logos, symbols, emblems, and other components such as important dates, location details, or mottos.

Your Coins Don’t Have To Be Round

As with other coin types, you have plenty of shape choices with digital print coins. While the most common challenge coin shape is round, yours certainly don't have to be. You can order custom coins in virtually any shape you can imagine, anything from a starship to a fire truck to the Empire State Building. It’s up to you!

Consider Coin Size

One great thing about challenge coins is that they give you great flexibility when it comes to size. Most challenge coins are typically between 1.5" and 3" in diameter, but both larger and smaller sizes are available.

Larger coins are fantastic for coins with text or intricate details. They provide extra surface area to include elaborate components and more text.  Sometimes though, less is more. Smaller coins with a simple design can be outstanding too. They offer a classic, simple style that can be easier on your budget.  It all depends on your design and your vision of what your coins should be.

More Coin Options

Once you have the basic design of your coin in place, consider adding options to your coins to add an even more distinctive look that really stands out.

Custom Edges

Diamond-cut edges add reflectivity and sparkle to your coins in a way that’s impossible to miss. It’s a bold, dramatic look.

Sequential Numbering

Sequential numbering allows you to create true limited edition coins that will always have an exclusive appeal due to their rarity.

Cutouts

Cutouts add open space to your design. They contrast between the open areas and the solid parts of your design will draw attention and make your coins especially memorable.

Keychains and Bottle Openers

If you want to create coins that recipients will handle on a regular basis, you can even have them made into bottle openers or keychains. The people using them will be sure to think of you and your organization each time they use the coins.
