Manufacturing
Whatever type of custom metal product you are having made for your organization, team, or event the manufacturing process is fairly streamlined and standardized across the board. You will start with a design, either of your own creation or a design we created for you. From there, you will decide what type of materials and finish will be applied. There are several steps to the manufacturing process, and the complexity of the process depends on the complexity of the finished product and type of custom metal product.
In general, once your design is finalized it is then transferred to a sheet which is marked with the specifications of size and features. A mold is then made and cut to form the outline of the custom metal product. This is used to stamp the individual metal products onto a sheet of metal.
Preparing to Get a Quote
Before you contact a manufacturer, you should have a few things settled in preparation for placing your order. Try to have a general idea of what you want. If you do not have a design, have a general idea of what you would like, such as the size, colors or logo if one is to be used. Know how many products you will need for the purpose of your company or event. Keep in mind the purpose of the custom metal product. Is it for employee recognition, a membership drive, a charity, sports team, festival, or a one-time, special purchase? Know what your budget requirements will allow, and stick within that range. After you have an idea then its time to finalize your design, materials, colors, back attachment (if applicable), and order size.

Pricing Information
Pricing depends on the quantity you need to have manufactured, the materials and finish you require, and any special details or enhancements that are to be added to the custom metal product. The more features you add in the way of lighting, jewels, dangles, and elaborate details, the higher your cost per pin. Since the manufacturing of custom metal products are labor intensive it is also time intensive, it is important to allow yourself enough time to get them manufactured. We do offer rush products but additional fees apply. The best way to save money and eliminate rush manufacturing and shipping fees would be to allow yourself 30 days to get your product manufactured.
