3) How do tariffs, fees, and taxes affect costs?

We make global ordering stress-free with DDP Shipping (Delivered Duties Paid). 🌍

  • ✔️ All import taxes, duties & tariffs prepaid
  • ✔️ No surprise customs bills or hidden charges
  • ✔️ No paperwork — your order arrives at your door, hassle-free

💸 Example: In some countries, a $100 order could face up to $135 in surprise fees. With DDP, you pay just 5–10% upfront, and we handle the rest.

4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

✅ Yes — available for all orders!

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

This gives you peace of mind: you’ll see exactly what’s being sent before final payment.

5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Most products have no MOQ — because we believe great ideas shouldn’t be limited by big order requirements.

  • ✅ Many small goods have no MOQ at all
  • 🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
  • 🧵 Apparel, packaging & stationery often allow low runs

💡 Tip: The bigger the order, the lower the cost per unit — and ordering multiple product types means you only pay shipping once.

6) Can I see samples before ordering?

Absolutely! 😄 You can order a sample of your design first.

🛠️ Upload your design and select “1 unit” (or more). Our team will prepare a custom sample quote before full production.

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

We stand behind our products. If your order arrives damaged or with quality concerns, email us at hi@pinlord.com and we’ll provide a tailored solution.

8) What file formats work best?

For best results, send us: .AI or PNG
We also accept: PDF, JPEG

Not a designer? No problem! ✏️ Just sketch your idea on paper and send it to us. Our design team will polish it into a professional digital file and save you endless revisions. We also offer professional design support if you’d like extra help.

          How to Create Custom Medals with Ease: Your Ultimate Guide 🏅✨

          Custom medals are more than just pieces of metal—they’re symbols of achievement, recognition, and celebration. Whether you’re honoring sports victories, academic achievements, or corporate milestones, a well-crafted medal provides a lasting reminder of success.

          At Pinlordshop.com, we make creating custom medals simple, ethical, and fun. As a female artist-owned business, we proudly partner with locally owned factories to ensure all medals are ethically produced with fair labor practices. With just a 50% deposit, you can bring your design to life—backed by express worldwide delivery and reliable timeframes.

          Let’s walk through how you can design medals that are not only stunning but also meaningful.


          Step 1: Determine Your Quantity 🎯

          Think about your event scale—whether it’s a small local tournament or a large international conference, we can handle flexible order sizes. From one-off custom pieces to bulk production for schools, organizations, or brands, we’ll adapt to your needs.


          Step 2: Choose Your Enamel Type 🎨

          This is where the magic begins! Each enamel type has its own unique personality:

          • Hard Enamel: Smooth, polished finish, highly durable, perfect for prestigious awards.

          • Soft Enamel: Textured, colorful, and artistic—great for intricate designs.

          • Die Struck: No enamel, just pure metal detailing for a minimalist, premium look.

          Pro Tip: If you’re unsure which option fits your vision, our team can guide you through the best choice based on your design and event.


          Step 3: Select the Thickness 📏

          The thickness adds to the perceived value of your medal.

          • Thicker medals (3mm+): Heavier, more premium—perfect for elite competitions.
          • Thinner medals (1.5–2mm): Lightweight, budget-friendly—ideal for everyday recognition.

          Step 4: Decide on the Size 🔍

          Medals can range from compact 50mm designs to large 70mm+ statement pieces. Larger medals are perfect for showing off intricate details, while smaller ones are subtle yet elegant.


          Step 5: Pick Your Ribbon or Lanyard 🎗️

          The ribbon or lanyard is the finishing touch. Options include:

          • Satin Ribbons: Smooth and luxurious.

          • Grosgrain Ribbons: Textured and durable.

          • Woven Ribbons: Customizable with branding.

          • Lanyards: Ideal for wearable medals at large events.

          Choose a color or pattern that matches your brand identity or event theme.
