Our in-house art and design team prepares the artwork based on the customer’s specifications using the latest computer technology and skilled craftsmen. After final approval, it is converted into the necessary format for our die
engraving machines.
Cutting & Preparing the Dies
Our cutting machines cut the art designs into correct size die blocks made of D2 Steel.
The die blocks are heat treated to strengthen the steel. The surface of the die where the design is located is then polished and prepared for striking.
Blanking
The blanks are made from strips/rolls of raw material. These are then run through a punch designated with the correct size for the new
medallion.
Striking the Medallions
The dies are set in the press and and then the blank is struck
producing the desired medallion.
Creative Options
Creative options such as hand-
painting each medallion can be done to enhance the appearance and capture very tiny details of the design.
The Custom Medallion
It is our pleasure to produce a custom piece that can offer so much and will last the test of time!
