Their only requirement is unique and personalized. I was happy but a little worried. Personalized is a broad meaning. How can I make sure that my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/medals\/Custom-Medals\">custom medals<\/a> are personalized? I asked a lot of custom company and I have some ideas from GS-JJ company.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I just said what I wanted about my custom medals and told them that I had a limited budget. Then, I asked them: &#8221; is there any way to personalize my medals?&#8221;. I knew that it was maybe difficult for many companies. After all, the budget was limited. However, the suggestions that they gave me made me believe that everything is possible.<\/p>\n<p>If being personalized, there are two main ways to get. It&#8217;s not about complex design but a combination of 4 materials and 5 crafts. YES! They told me.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">A) 3 Materials Combination<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Usually, metal is a wonderful material to make medals, glass is second, and wooden is last. By and large, single material is chosen for producing medals because people always think that simplicity is beauty. But why not break the pattern?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 a) Metal + Wooden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6762 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Metal-wooden-e1592304796817.jpg\" alt=\"Metal-wooden\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The metal and wooden combination is inlaid.<\/p>\n<p>Advantages: Environmental, short manufacture cycle, and Personalized<\/p>\n<p>Disadvantages: Easy to be corrosive in wet conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0b) Metal + Glass<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6763 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/metal-glass-1024x389.jpg\" alt=\"metal-glass\" width=\"740\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The metal and glass combination is like a strip of mild steel.<\/p>\n<p>Advantages: Soft, Shiny and Personalized<\/p>\n<p>Disadvantages: fragile when being thrown.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">\u00a0B) 6 Crafts Combination<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The second way to make custom medals is to combine different crafts.

But, like hard enamel and 3D crafts, they cannot combine each other because their requirement is different for level.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased that I needn&#8217;t choose the special design like folded medals because each one has an expensive price. I really thanked that GS-JJ helps me and gave me inspiration. Therefore, I placed an order here. In addition, it was worth mentioning that they were very patient with my question. That&#8217;s probably what good customer service was!
