Production
Die-Cast Metal Keychains, Badges, Labels and Medals: Custom Metal Products
Die-cast production turns your logo into an embossed metal object: keychains, badges, brand labels, medals and commemorative coins — the process, plating and colouring options.
In die-cast products your logo is not a label on the item — it is the item itself, turned into a metal object with raised or recessed details. The method is used across a wide product family, from keychains and badges to textile and furniture labels, medals and commemorative coins.
Which products are made by die-casting?
- Keychains: Embossed metal keychains in the exact silhouette of your logo — 3D keychains (video: 3D die-cast keychain production).
- Badges: Badges for institutions, clubs and events — 3D custom badges (video).
- Brand labels: Permanent brand plates for bags, furniture, textiles and products — 3D die-cast metal labels (video).
- Medals: Sports events, competitions and award ceremonies — medals (video).
- Commemorative coins: For anniversaries and special occasions (video).
Production process
- Design and approval: Your logo is turned into a production drawing with defined relief levels and sent for your approval.
- Mould: A casting mould specific to the design is prepared.
- Casting and finishing: Metal is cast into the mould; parts are deburred and the surface is refined.
- Plating: The product gets its final look with plating options such as nickel (options vary by product).
- Colouring and protection: If required, recessed areas are coloured and a doming layer can be applied.
- Assembly and inspection: Rings, pins or straps are fitted and every batch passes quality control.
Why die-cast?
- High perceived value — ideal for awards, gifts and prestige items.
- Wear-resistant; lasts for years.
- The logo is reproduced exactly, as the product itself.

Can the back of a medal carry text?
Front and back can be designed differently; options are clarified on the product page and during design.
Where are metal labels used?
