Advance planning is the key to securing your department’s enamel challenge coins in time for National Police Week activities, this year scheduled for May 12-18, 2024. Medalcraft Mint is prepared for the influx of orders that typically precedes this important recognition week with additional capacity in our enameling department.
You can expect quicker lead times for enamel challenge coins than usual as long as production capacity remains available. This important, but time-intensive step in our manufacturing process adds significant value and eye-catching color to your finished enamel challenge coins.
Enamel challenge coins are popular with all levels of first responders including police officers, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and firefighters. National Police Week honors law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. A joint resolution of Congress established National Police Week, with President John Kennedy signing it into law in 1962.
The most common size for enamel challenge coins is 1.75 inches. This provides enough design space to include graphic and text elements that are large enough to easily see while keeping production costs in check. The Medalcraft Mint design team works with customers to craft designs that are specific for each department.
We begin by using a die-striking process to imprint customer-approved designs onto the metal of choice. Enamel challenge coins require the additional step of color application, which most departments request in order to highlight graphics such as logos and official seals. Our team is able to match PMS colors according to your approved color palette for consistent results.
Contact our friendly customer service representatives as soon as possible to take advantage of the production capacity in our enameling department and ensure your supply of enamel challenge coins arrives on time.
