As a secret fraternal organization, Freemasonry unites men of good character who, no matter the difference religious, ethnic, or social backgrounds, and should share a belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind.

A Grand Lodge is the top governing authority of the Freemasonry, that’s why Freemasonry logo is designed with big “G” in the middle. And its basic organizational unit is the local Lodge. For example, the Hermann-Humboldt Lodge is one of those lodges.

There is no international or worldwide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry; each Grand Lodge is independent, and it’s important to show their identification and build strong Masonic memberships in each local lodge.

So the Hermann-Humboldt Lodge asked GS-JJ to create these delicate custom challenge coins for their Masons and thanks to their wonderful service to the Freemasonry worldwide.

The obverse has a beautifully detailed rope edge and displays the compass and ruler, and the big letter “G” which present their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons. On the reverse of the coin shows the basic Masonic symbol of compass and ruler, books and square with the words “Michel F. Janoski” on the top. These custom challenge coins are perfect gifts for Masonic brothers to recognize their dedication and service to the Lodge.

When you create your own custom coins, you will have too many options to choose and meet many problems. Such as, do you know the paper sticker can be used on custom coins? When designing your custom coins with transfer printing or paper sticker better?

Printing is an option to create special images, and custom coins are made with the printing process, we also call it the picture inserted challenge coin.

Why We Use the Printing Process on Custom Coins Sometimes?

Many times customer gives an idea and wants to be produced as a challenge coin, however, the design has many details to be created by the standard minting and stamping process, or too many colors and even include gradient. Under this condition, we recommend using printing images onto the metal surface of the challenge coin.

Printing is the best way to produce large quantities of high-quality images, which can keep your images clearly in a manner that long-lasting, especially within a limited budget.

There are mainly three printing options to handle detailed images on custom coins at GS-JJ, including silk screen printing, and transfer printing, a paper sticker with epoxy, etc.

When Use these Printings Will Be Better?

Typically, transfer printing is used for custom coins that are of great detail of someone’s face, or detailed scenery, more color images, etc. If the images or colors are too complex, then you had better use paper stickers on challenge coins directly.

The below will show you some examples when need to add pictures to your challenge coin display.

The Detailed Scenery Design:

Using a detailed printing image can finish your picture on challenge coins with a touch of gloss. An example is the PEI Custom Coins we helped the design. The front of the challenge coin is produced through the standard process and covered by epoxy coating on the whole surface. The center is the raised transfer printing image that depicts the lighthouse.

So for the beautifully detailed scenery design, transfer printing is a great way to add realism to challenge coin, feature with rich colors and details, at an affordable price, and short production time.

The Complex Someone’s Faces Design:

If you want to design a more detailed face on your custom coins’ surface, the same as the above image, and the paper sticker is the best choice for you. Facial appearance and body images are always too difficult to engrave and carved, or paint, you can use a paper sticker with epoxy dome onto challenge coin, which also makes them looks vivid and vibrant.

The Colors Variations Design:

Usually, a variety of colors can be applied to custom coins. But when your colors have many variations and even include gradient, it’s difficult to fill with enamel colors and make your image looks brightly. A paper sticker can help you finish the picture perfectly.

Just like the above challenge coin, the outer rim is specially produced through the standard process with raised and recessed areas, printed with gold letters on black background. The center circle is a sticker with printed crab image with color variations and adds a clear protective epoxy dome over the top for long-lasting protection.

All in all, the glossy photos look unique and rare. At GS-JJ, we can easily create a beautiful effect on your custom coins using each printing option. We not only offer the finest materials to print your detailed design on, and chose the best printing methods to make your beautiful images and colors as vibrant and long-lasting as possible. If you like, you also can design your lapel pins, custom medals with printing images for your orders here.

Many customers are unaware of what this process does for their custom coins. Here I will try my best to give more details.

What’s an Epoxy Coating?

Actually, epoxy coating is a protective option on your challenge coins’ surface. An epoxy dome is a layer of resin, just a thin coating of clear epoxy that is covered over one or both sides of custom challenge coins.

Epoxy coating is an extra feature added at the end of the manufacturing process, generally packaged in two parts that are mixed prior to application. The two parts consist of an epoxy resin which is cross-linked with a co-reactant or hardener. Epoxy coatings are used to meet the requirements of end product’s performance. After properly catalyzed and applied, epoxies will become a hard, chemical and solvent resistant finish.

Epoxy is generally used to cover enamel to give a glossy look and finish, and also offers protection to the paint. This is an upgrade option we will recommend if you show your challenge coins frequently.

Why Choose Epoxy Coating for Your Custom Coins?

Adding an epoxy coating will enhance the 3D appearance and also leave challenge coin feeling smooth and flat. Many customers enjoy the feeling of an epoxy-coated coin as it turns around their fingers, so they will choose to add epoxy on coin’s surface. The coating provides a protective coating that will also increase the longevity and durability of your challenge coin.

An epoxy dome is a clear plastic coating that can be added to your challenge coins for durability. With this protective barrier, colors on your custom made coins will not fade, and keep uniform. Keep your valuable collections in value and in good condition.

What’s more, covering your coins in a clear epoxy coating is a great barrier to resist scratches, protect your image and text. An epoxy coating will keep your challenge coin displayed in fresh looking and in great status for years to come.

Try to give your coins a nice dome, will add additional protection and depth to the overall design of the coin, which also provides a lustrous shine and protects your design from damage.

Overall, it’s a personal preference not a requirement. We will create a beautiful customized piece for you whether you choose to have a clear coating or leave the coin uncoated.

Tips for you to distinguish custom coins with epoxy coating or not, and you can know this feature by looking and touching.

• Looking

Under the light, colors are looks even on custom coins with epoxy coating. And all enamel colors are filled will present color rich effect. With years to come, colors will not fade and images, texts are same like the first time.

There is no recessed part for challenge coins covered by epoxy.

• Touching

Touching method is to detect challenge coins’ surface. If custom coins’ smooth feel is very similar to coins that are crafted by hard enamel, no recessed areas on the boarder then challenge coins are coated with an epoxy dome.

Having yours custom made coins with epoxy is a great way to improve coin’s higher perceived value, and have its benefits.

If you’re looking for a way to enhance the appearance of your 3D challenge coin, consider adding epoxy to your order. And GS-JJ offers 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed for your challenge coins order with rich experience. We always provide the finest materials and workmanship, try our best to make our clients are satisfied with order. Let us show you how great your custom coins can be.
