Chinese New Year and How It Affects Your Challenge Coin Order

Published on January 2, 2012 in Custom Challenge Coins. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

The Chinese New Year is the longest and most important holiday on the Chinese calendar.  The origin of the festivity is centuries old.  It is significant because of its myths and traditions.  Some of the countries and territories that celebrate Chinese New Year include Mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Tibet, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Chinatowns elsewhere.

Chinese New Year has special meaning for our manufacturing department.  That’s why we wanted to take a moment to explain to you our production schedule for the month of January.  Because our custom challenge coins are produced in China, there will be a period of time where production will be halted.  The Chinese New Year is nationally celebrated from January 21st to January 31st.

If you need a challenge coin produced for an event that takes place at the end of the month or early February, you will want to place your order with us within 5 business days of today.  This gives All About Coins the opportunity to submit your order to the manufacturing department and make sure that your items arrive in time for your special event or occasion.

You can direct your questions or inquiries to our sales department by calling 1-800-667-5931 toll-free or emailing info@allaboutchallengecoins.com.  You can see examples of our products by visiting our photo gallery located at http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com/photogallery.html.  As always, we offer price quotes and full color digital proofs featuring your image and design free of charge.

All About Coins prides itself on being the type of company that its customers can have confidence in.  Not only are the custom challenge coins that we sell made from high quality materials, our knowledgeable team of sales professionals and talented designers rely on their unique skill sets and years of experience to help you with the ordering process.

We want to stress that the custom coins that we create are for you and you alone.  When you order an item through our company, we transfer all copyright and intellectual property rights to you.  This means that we will not be selling copies of your challenge coins on our website.  Nor will we be distributing the artwork that we created for your order.  We also will not sell your challenge coin design to another customer even if they call in and ask for your specific coin.

We know how important it is to keep your design exclusive.  That is what makes the customization process so special and unique.  We work hard to protect your designs and would never want to tarnish the positive meaning behind them.

In many cases, custom challenge coins are awarded to individuals that show loyalty, dedication, and an exceptional work ethic.  We feel like we owe it to these amazing men and women to preserve the integrity of their experience by keeping the challenge coins that we create for awards ceremonies, corporate events, and retirement parties off limits to everyone but our customer.  This ensures that the custom designs that we create are truly one-of-kind as advertised.

Challenge Coins Help Celebrate Retirement from the Military or Public Service Field

Published on June 3, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .

A long career with law enforcement, the fire department or the military is something many men and women strive to achieve.  Those individuals approaching retirement age have a lot to celebrate.  After years of service, they finally will have the resources needed to spend quality time with their families, travel to exotic locations, and pursue the hobbies that have interested them in the past.  Custom challenge coins designed for retirement parties make great gifts for attendees and also serve as a fond reminder of the roles service men and women play in our communities.

Retirement challenge coins are unique. They have the retiree’s name on the coin and also have the different ranks that they achieved while in the military or working in a public service role.  Military challenge coins for retirement parties usually consist of the name of the man or woman being honored, their branch emblems (Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines), and the starting and ending date of their years of active service.  The challenge coins often include the location of their last assignment as well.

Challenge coins have a long history.  For decades, they have been awarded to the brave men and women in the armed services.  They are also used to promote camaraderie, goodwill among units, and encourage people to be their own personal best. Because of this, they are great way to cap off a retirement celebration.  Containing details about their personal and professional experiences, these items reflect the individuality and accomplishments of the retiree.

Custom Challenge Coins to Honor Fearless Firefighters

Published on May 31, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

Recently, we have had an influx of challenge coin orders from firehouses located throughout the United States.  Our customers contacted us because they wanted to create a design to award to distinguished individuals in their department.  They wanted an item that not only represented the spirit of firefighting itself but also that of the men and women who served within the confines of a particular district.  They chose challenge coins because of their measurable look and appeal.  We were able to help them customize the challenge coins to their liking instantly.

The challenge coins were then used in a variety of ways.  Some firehouses used them as years of service and recognition awards.  Others chose to order them to pay tribute to fallen firefighters.  No matter what the use, customized challenge coins are highly regarded because of their incredible look and feel.  Due to their size and the type of materials being used, these items are usually thick and weighty. They are a tactile award because they can be handled over and over again without being damaged.

Fire personnel become emotionally attached to the coin because it reminds them of their past accomplishments and the relationships that they built back at the firehouse.  Firefighters often forge friendships that last them a lifetime.  The men and women that they work with at the fire station play an integral part of a firefighter’s professional experience.

Collectors of challenge coins know the importance of displaying these objects.  Sharing these items with others is half the fun of receiving a challenge coin.  Velvet bags, acrylic cases, and display units are some of the ways that firefighters keep their memorabilia safe.

All About Coins offers fire departments their choice of features as well as options when it comes to personalizing challenge coins.  Different types of finishes and edges compliment custom artwork.  Dual plating and 3D molding helps give designs depth and distinction.  We can help you determine which features to include in your order today.  Just give us a call at 1-800-667-5931 toll-free to discuss your fire department challenge coin ideas with us.
