What should I include in a quote request for custom badges, coins, pins, or medals?

The fastest feasibility review comes from sending the product type, quantity, target size, artwork or reference image, 2D or 3D preference, finish split, packaging requirement, delivery country or city, and real in-hands date. If a client, association, or committee must approve the design, state that at the start.

The buyer situation behind this question

A vague request such as “please quote 100 pins” may produce a vague response. A structured brief gives both the buyer and factory a shared starting point for an accurate specification.

1

Describe the Product Goal

Start with the product type and intended use: a staff badge, enamel pin, challenge coin, event medal, membership item, donor recognition piece, or other program.

The intended use can influence size, backing, relief, packaging, and whether a physical sample is helpful.

2

Provide the Core Specification

The specification does not need to be a factory drawing on day one, but it should give the production team enough to review the route and quote responsibly.

  • Quantity or quantity options
  • Target diameter, width, or height
  • Artwork, logo, sketch, or reference image
  • 2D or 3D preference if known
  • Finish, color, backing, lanyard, or ribbon direction
  • Packaging or presentation requirement
3

State the Delivery Reality

Provide the actual in-hands date, country, city, and postal code. A project can only be assessed correctly when artwork approval, sample timing, production, courier service, and customs are considered together.

If you need DDP delivery or a specific carrier option, include that request in the brief.

4

Identify Approval and Sample Needs

Mention whether a physical sample is required and who needs to approve the artwork or sample. An association, sponsor, event owner, or internal committee can change the real project calendar.

Upload the file or reference image with the inquiry. The simplified contact form is designed to accept one attachment.
