Some of the coolest coins we\u2019ve made to date happen to be cut-to-shape challenge coins. That is because nothing is more uniquely gratifying than a challenge coin in the shape of something near and dear to you.<br><br>Cut to shape challenge coins are a wonderful option to help make your coin stand out. Like most things however, there are some do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to making them Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when planning your design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Ruler.jpg\" alt=\"Challenge Coin Sizing\" class=\"wp-image-3922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Ruler.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Ruler-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Ruler-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Comparison.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Comparison.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Comparison-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Size_Comparison-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">TIP #1 &#8211; Check the Dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should check your coin&#8217;s dimensions anyway, no matter what kind of coin it is. But it\u2019s even more critical with cut-to-shape coins as they can have the illusion of looking larger than they actually are on the proof. For instance, these coins here are both 2\u201d. However, one is 2\u201d x 2\u201d and the other is 2\u201d by 0.75\u201d. The largest diameters are the same, but the overall surface of the coin is significantly smaller. If you\u2019d like to see exactly how big your coin will be, simply print off the proof we provided at 100%. If you need to increase the size, just let us know, and we\u2019ll take care of that for you!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_2_Functionality.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_2_Functionality.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_2_Functionality-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_2_Functionality-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TIP #2 &#8211; Consider Adding Some Functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to make a custom cut-to-shape challenge coins, why not add some functionality? Using an existing cutout in the edge of the coin as a bottle opener is a great way to take your coin to the next level! Let us know If there is something you\u2019d like to add specifically to your design. Our talented team of artists can help you find a way to incorporate what you want into your design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">TIP #3 &#8211; Save Some Cash by Reducing Cutouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, cutouts are essential for the design of a coin. Other times, they can be avoided. We want you to know what constitutes a cutout and how it can be avoided so that you can save money on your challenge coins! First, there are two kinds of cutouts: internal and external. Internal cutouts go right through the center and are surrounded on all sides by metal. External cutouts are when the coin&#8217;s edge goes into the design, like with this coin in the shape of the coin. Cutouts are relatively cheap, but since each one adds 10 cents to the cost of each coin, they can add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_3_Cutouts.jpg\" alt=\"Cut to Shape Challenge Coins - Cut outs\" class=\"wp-image-3924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_3_Cutouts.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_3_Cutouts-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_3_Cutouts-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Cutout_Examples.jpg\" alt=\"Cut Out Examples for Cut to Shape Challenge Coins\" class=\"wp-image-3920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Cutout_Examples.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Cutout_Examples-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Cutout_Examples-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TIP #4 &#8211; Avoid Making Parts Too Skinny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan your design so it doesn&#8217;t have any long, skinny pieces sticking out (such as a flag, sword, etc.). If it does, that&#8217;s fine, though. We\u2019ll automatically take care of making the design manufacturable. We may have to beef up the thickness or add some extra recessed metal around it for support, but it&#8217;s nothing we can&#8217;t handle. While this is a rare occurrence, we thought we\u2019d point it out anyway to help you better plan your design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_4_No_Skinny_Parts.jpg\" alt=\"Cut to Shape Challenge Coin Minimum Specs\" class=\"wp-image-3925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_4_No_Skinny_Parts.jpg 650w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_4_No_Skinny_Parts-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lonestarchallengecoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tip_4_No_Skinny_Parts-600x458.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TIP #5 &#8211; Use Your Imagination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the most remarkable thing about custom challenge coins is that they\u2019re, well\u2026 custom!
