Coin Packaging Options

When it comes to custom challenge coins, details matter. Your choice of design, finish, colors, size and shape all factor into your coin’s overall appearance. 

Your coin's design is the primary focus, of course. The possibilities are almost endless, from the metal style to edge design options, cutouts, custom shapes and other choices.

At last, you’ve finally settled on your custom coin design. Everything looks fantastic and you’re ready to proceed with the order. But hold on! You might be overlooking one of the key aspects of presenting your custom coins: packaging options. 

In military units, the presentation of a challenge coin is typically a low-key affair – just a handshake between the coin presenter and the recipient. Blink and you’ll miss it. For other situations, however, such as when presenting family, business, nonprofit, academic or first responder coins, a more high-profile presentation style is the way to go.

The Basics

At Challenge Coin 4 Less, we ship every coin you order in some type of individual packaging. All orders ship standard with our PVC coin pouches to protect the coins’ finish during shipping, and offer a great, free display option for giveaways and when price is a concern.

Our standard coin pouches are made of a strong yet flexible PVC material. They protect your coins from damage between manufacturing and the time you receive them. 

We offer coin pouches in just about every coin size, carefully designed to minimize movement of the coin. We can even produce custom card inserts to slide into the pouches if you want to include a message with your coins. We provide this option to you at no additional cost. We make beautiful coins and want to ensure that they arrive to you that way!

Custom Options 

Many of customers choose other packaging options to match reward coins, recognition coins, and other special keepsakes to add an extra touch of style. We offer your choice of custom options: velvet presentation boxes, acrylic presentation boxes, velvet bags or coin capsules. Let’s review these outstanding options.

Coin Capsules

Our coin capsule option is a perfect way to protect your coins in a hard plastic shell, perfectly matched to coin size. With the ability to show both sides of the coin, they’re perfect for long term display and protection. Our capsules are built to fit your exact coin size. They limit movement and protect the finish on the coins’ surfaces during movement and while on display. 

Each coin capsule comes in two halves, with an easy-open slit. The coin capsule option will add an extra $1 per coin to your coin price, and includes coin placement prior to shipping.

Velvet Coin Bags

Next up is our velvet coin bag with drawstrings. This is our least expensive coin packaging upgrade. These bags offer a classic,  soft velvet touch for comfort and coin protection. We offer a full range of sizes to meet your coin needs. The pouches also offer the ability to carry multiple coins together for convenience. Our velvet bags are available in your choice of blue or black fabric and will add just an additional $0.60 per coin to your coin pricing.

Acrylic Presentation Cases

One of our most popular coin packaging options is the acrylic coin presentation case. These are standard in display cases, and coin collectors and resellers have used them for many years. The acrylic cases feature a see-through top to display one side of your custom coin. 

The easy-remove strap helps ensure that you won’t scratch or damage your coin’s finish when removing it from the presentation case. Acrylic cases make the perfect complement for recognition, award, and other achievement-based custom coins. The acrylic cases will add an additional $1.25 per coin to your coin price and will come pre-assembled and ready to display.

Velvet Presentation Boxes

For the ultimate in elegant, formal presentation, we offer our custom velvet presentation boxes. These high-quality, fashionable velvet boxes are the perfect choice when quality and sophisticated presentation really matter. All boxes are built to your coin specifications, and are available in either a blue or black finish. 

Similar to our acrylic cases, the velvet boxes also come standard with a pull strap for easy coin removal. These outstanding presentation boxes will add an additional $3.75 per coin to your coin price, and will come pre-assembled and ready to distribute.

Navigating the Price of Presentation Options

As you can see, there are a range of prices for various presentation options. Depending on your total budget for your coins, you might be thinking about choosing a less expensive option than the one you really want. Talk to your coin provider before you decide to do so.

It might seem counterintuitive, but in some cases, you can save money by ordering more coins than you originally planned. That’s because most providers offer price breaks at specific quantities. That lowers the cost per coin. 

For example, at ChallengeCoins4Less.com, we offer a price break at 100 and 300 coins. If you need 250, you might get a better price by ordering 300. The money you save by doing so could pay for the better presentation option you want.

Consider too, the meaning of your coins. Your challenge coins will become cherished keepsakes that the recipients will want to carry or display proudly for many years. Isn’t it worth spending a little bit extra to give them a stylish way to preserve and display their coins?
