We've had some questions about how to remove the deluxe clasp from the Poppin pins and so we were motivated to make a quick video (with narration!) to explain the concept.
In a nutshell, the clasp is squeezed or pinched before pulling.
These clasps are used on a lot of police and military insignia to make sure they stay attached - they are a reliable clasp, BUT you need to know the technique :).
If you have another way to explain it, please leave it in a comment!
Can you get coins made quickly?We have a few tricks up our sleeve and using soft enamel paint is one of them. Soft enamel paint is the fastest way to have colour filled coins made when you’re in a hurry! They still take time to make of course (21-28 days in production after the art is done), but not as long as coins painted with imitation hard enamel or a combination of both. Diamond cut edges take extra time, so does screen printing and also two-tone plating. There’s a long list of ways to make gorgeous coins that take a bit more time and they’re always worth it. But I digress…lol.
Today we want to show you soft enamel paint. The addition of the printed inset disc only added a couple of extra days and was so worth it to get all the details in the 19 Wing crest.
Please note this is an older coin - there’s NO airshow at 19 Wing this summer. But today the Snowbirds performed over Kelowna so there’s that!!

We get asked a lot about dies, paint and platings so we’re going to create some videos to hopefully help explain a bit about the coin design and production language we speak! No hair or makeup - just the real deal :)
Comment on what you’re curious about and we’ll add that to the list! /Helen
We're always phographing coins...but some metal platings aren't quite so photogenic! Take shiny nickel for example...lol. Do you photograph your coins? We'd love to see your pictures!

Tonight we were honoured to visit family graves and remember their service to Canada at the candlelight tribute to our veterans at God's Acre cemetery in Esquimalt BC.
TGIF! We had fun with Boomerang and a coin we made for Heinz Canada a few years back to celebrate their 100th.
We only do awesome! Canadian Veteran owned. We make custom products you're super proud to hand out! Canadian Veteran family owned and managed business.
