Helpful Pinlord resources
Medal design tips
  • Keep the centre clear: Place your main logo, event name or award detail where it will be easiest to read.
  • Plan both sides: Use the front for the main award artwork and the back for dates, sponsor logos, edition details or engraving.
  • Choose plating early: Gold, silver, bronze, antique and black nickel finishes can completely change the final medal style.
  • Think about the ribbon: Ribbon colour, width, logo repeat and attachment style can make the medal feel more premium.
  • Mark raised and recessed areas: Clearly note which parts should be raised, recessed, enamel-filled, polished, engraved or textured.

We help make global ordering easier with DDP shipping where available.

  • Import taxes, duties, and tariffs can be prepaid
  • Fewer surprise customs bills
  • Less paperwork for you
  • Your order is delivered more smoothly to your door

DDP fees are usually added upfront so your total landed cost is clearer before production begins.

4. Do you accept 50% deposits?

Yes. Most custom orders can be started with a 50% deposit.

  • 50% deposit to begin production
  • 50% balance after photo proof and before shipping

5. What is the minimum order quantity?

Many products have no MOQ or low minimum order options.

  • Many small goods can be made with no MOQ
  • Some products start from 1–25 units
  • Apparel, packaging, and stationery often support smaller runs

Tip: larger orders usually reduce the cost per unit.

6. Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. You can request a sample of your design before moving into a larger production order.

Upload your artwork and select a small quantity, such as 1 unit, and our team can prepare a sample quote.

7. What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

Email us at hi@pinlord.com with your order details and clear photos of the issue.

We’ll review the concern and provide a tailored solution based on the product, order, and issue.
