Q1: What is die-struck/stamping?
A: The metal plate is made by stamping and then plating. We have to engrave molds and stamp the motifs on metal plate. Motifs on mold shall be the opposite way on metal pieces, if it is recessed on molds, after stamping, the metal piece will be raised.

Q2: What is die casting?
A: Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. Once the mold cavity is filled, the pressure is maintained until the casting solidifies after cooling down. Then the half-finished products would be polished, electroplated and color-filled.

Q3: What materials are available for selection?
A: Brass: It’s the major material for pins and medals. The price would be higher than iron or zinc alloy but the texture is the best among all materials. Brass can be stamped (die struck)/ photo etched or lost wax casting.
Iron: Iron usually can be stamped (die stuck) with soft enamel colors, unit price of iron pins are cheaper than brass because iron is less fine in raw material. Iron is a very hard material, if size over 80mm (single side with motifs) or 42mm (double sides with motifs), we will suggest brass or zinc alloy material instead because molds will break easily while stamping on big sized iron plate. Iron has magnetism which may have magnet as the attachment.
Stainless steel:Normally we would adopt stainless steel as the material for offset printing or silkscreen printing with epoxy on the surface but without electroplating.Since stainless steel is also characterized as a magnetic material, you could select magnet as the attachment as well.
Aluminum: Normally we would adopt aluminum as the material for offset printing or silkscreen printing with epoxy on the surface but without electroplating. It also can be made in a very thin plate (0.4mm thickness) and inserted in the recessed areas of key chains or coins. Aluminum is a light weight material can be printed as well as stamped.
Zinc Alloy: Zinc alloy is an excellent material for 2D or 3D cubic designs that have empty spaces
within or for miniature-sized designs with mechanical functions such as moving and
spinning pieces.
We also can produce items with inlaid gem stones, various colors, and different finishing.
Zinc alloy is a prevailing material in souvenir market because the smooth metal surface
and extra thickness appeal to more customers Besides, all the inner cutouts or open
areas can be done without any cut die charge required neither no increase for unit price.
Minimum quantity is 100pcs per design and we accept custom designs only.

Q4: What is Pantone? What is its user?
A: The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another. You may refer to www.pantone.com for more information.

Q5: What file format is acceptable for production?
A: Please kindly send us vector art in “AI” or “PDF” format for our further procedure.
Our designer will re-design according to our molding machine and before mold will send to you for final confirmation The resolution of “JPG” file must be 300dpi or above, otherwise objects will be vague while enlarging the arts.
