Micro-Injection (Liquid PVC Dispensing)
Automated computer-controlled dispensing of multi-colored liquid plastisol PVC or silicone into micro-grooved brass/aluminum molds to produce sharp, layered 2D/3D emblems.
Hard Enamel / CloisonnΓ© Process
Mineral glass-based color paste hand-infilled into stamped copper/brass recesses, baked at 800Β°C and hand-stoned flat to match the metal borders flush for jewelry-grade scratch resistance.
Soft Enamel (Die-Struck Enamel)
Liquid enamel paint infilled beneath raised die-struck metal borders and baked at 160Β°C. Creates tactile dimensional ridges with the option of adding a protective clear epoxy dome.
POM Mushroom Rivet (Anti-Pop Back Stud)
Engineered polyoxymethylene backing stud calibrated to 12mm diameter with 15kg tensile pull resistance, specifically designed for secure insertion into foam clogs without detaching.
Zinc Alloy Die-Casting
Molten Zamak zinc injected under high hydraulic pressure into hardened steel dies. Enables heavy 3D sculptural reliefs, hollow cutouts, and kinetic spinning centers in finisher medals.
Dye-Sublimation (Thermal Transfer)
High-temperature thermal gas transfer of inks directly into polyester ribbon and lanyard fibers, producing photographic-grade gradient artwork with 100% rub fastness.
ASTM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion Lab
Standard accelerated corrosion testing chamber spraying 5% NaCl solution at 35Β°C for 48β72 hours to verify electroplated metal resistance to oxidation, tarnishing, and sweat.
CA Prop 65 Non-Phthalate Certified
Stringent chemical screening certifying that plasticizers (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DnOP) remain non-detectable or below 50 ppm, well within Californian toxic exposure limits.
GRS Recycled Standard (RPET)
International voluntary standard tracking and verifying recycled polyester content from post-consumer PET bottles into plush fabrics and neck lanyards.
Tajima Digital Precision Embroidery
High-density computerized multi-head embroidery stitching up to 12 thread colors per tactical patch with merrowed or laser-cut heat-sealed borders.
3D Bas-Relief Sculptural Molding
Sculptural molding technique creating gradual curvature, realistic human/animal anatomical contours, and multi-tiered architectural depth on challenge coins and medals.
Antique Electroplating & Patina
A two-step electroplating and chemical darkening process followed by manual reliefer polishing that leaves dark oxide in recesses to accentuate fine 3D details on challenge coins.
