Step 1: Discuss Your Project Goal
It all starts with consulting with our Project Coordinator on what you're looking to accomplish. Your project can be a round or bar for bullion sales or a personal commemorative, award, medal, challenge coin - whatever you imagine, we can make a reality.
Discuss the parameters like metal, quantity, and timeline, but also touches like special finishes and packaging for the end consumer. Your consultation is obligation free as we work with you in finding the vision for your project.
Step 2: Artwork
Whether you are advertising your company's logo, sporting your favorite alma matter's mascot or providing us with an original artwork from a graphic artist, we will work with our die manufacturing team to bring your vision to life. The easiest way to streamline this process is to provide us with a vector file of your artwork (.pdf, .eps, etc).
Step 3: Die Creation & Approval
With the approved artwork, your design is rendered into modeling software to show the dimension and finest details. Once approved with a signed agreement & financial commitment, the design is cut into a steel tool, then transferred to a block to make a negative impression of the design to strike the blank rounds or bars.
Step 4: Minting
Once the die has been cut and treated, our minting team will then strike samples to assure you like the look of things.
For Rounds, this would be offered in different strike finishes like Bullion Matte, Semi Gloss, and Frosted.
We can ship these physical samples to you or provide you with photographs to expedite this approval process. Should you want to change any design features at this stage, additional die creation fees will be applied. Upon final approval, we will begin minting and fulfill your order in full.
Step 5: Finishes & Packaging
Here, the final touches are applied to elevate your project. Options like unique coloring in the form of metallic plating, pad printing, or epoxy, along with a selection of different cases, tubes, boxes to present the custom item. Here is a sample of our premium services.
Step 6: Shipping
Once the project is complete, you recieve your order according to the agreed upon contract: either picked up at our Bridgewater location or domestic shipping to you or your end-client.
