Special Effects for Custom Products
Make Your Medals, Coins, and Pins Stand Out
Special effects turn a standard custom product into a memorable keepsake. Whether you want a premium race medal, a collector coin, or a unique promotional item, we can add effects that match your design and budget.
3D Relief
Raised sculpted details add depth and realism. Best for commemorative coins, national emblems, and premium medals.
Cut-Out Design
Open areas inside the product shape create modern, lightweight designs with strong visual impact.
Spinner / Moving Part
A rotating center or moving component adds interactivity. Popular for fidget coins and novelty medals.
Glow-in-the-Dark Enamel
Absorbs light and glows in the dark. Great for night races, Halloween events, and themed products.
Glitter Enamel
Adds sparkle and shimmer to selected colors. Popular for fashion pins, celebration medals, and youth products.
Transparent Enamel
See-through colored areas that create stained-glass or window effects. Works well with cut-outs and light.
Epoxy Dome
A clear resin coating over soft enamel creates a glossy raised surface and protects colors from scratches.
Dual Plating
Two different metal finishes on one product, such as gold and silver, for contrast and premium look.
Bottle Opener Function
Challenge coins or keychains with a built-in bottle opener. Practical and popular for promotional gifts.
Magnetic Parts
Magnetic backings or removable magnetic pieces. Useful for badges, name tags, and modular designs.
LED Light-Up
Blinking or steady LED lights for novelty products, events, and branded giveaways.
Multi-Layer Construction
Two or more metal layers assembled for depth and 3D appearance without full sculpting.
Cost and Timing Considerations
Special effects usually increase cost because they may require more complex molds, extra parts, additional assembly, higher rejection risk, or longer production time. Tell us your desired effect, reference images, quantity, budget, and deadline so we can recommend the best option.
