Real factory evidence · buyer verification
Review actual work areas for tooling, printing, assembly, inspection and packing. Use the evidence together with a written specification before approving a custom medal, pin, badge or coin supplier.
Actual production environment
These photographs show real equipment and work areas. The exact production route still depends on product structure, material, artwork, finish, quantity and packaging.
Evidence checklist
Use this table before artwork approval. It separates visible evidence from the details that must still be confirmed for your order.
| Decision stage | Evidence available | What the buyer should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier verification | Factory location, production-line photographs, BSCI audit and ISO 9001 certification context. | Current company documents, quotation entity, payment recipient and order terms. |
| Artwork and tooling | Design support and CNC or tooling capability for suitable metal products. | Final dimensions, relief direction, cut-outs, readable details and approved proof version. |
| Color and finish | Enamel, UV printing, plating and surface-finishing process information. | Color references, plating direction, surface texture, front and back requirements. |
| Assembly | Assembly work area and ribbon, ring, backing or packaging options. | Attachment type, ribbon artwork, orientation, packing sequence and separate award groups. |
| Quality inspection | Appearance, assembly, quantity and packaging inspection checkpoints. | Approved comparison sample or proof, inspection scope and acceptable order-specific tolerances. |
| Packing and shipment | Packing inspection, export cartons and loading preparation. | Carton marks, packing quantity, destination, trade term and required in-hand date. |

Buyer questions
Ask for evidence that connects the supplier to the relevant work: tooling or machining, the selected decoration process, assembly, inspection, packing and shipment preparation. Then compare that evidence with the legal supplier information and your written specification.
No. A digital proof helps confirm dimensions, layout, relief direction, colors, plating and ribbon artwork, but it cannot fully show actual weight, surface feel, edge finishing, color appearance or packaging performance.
No. A quality management certification provides useful company-level context, but each order still needs an approved specification and project-specific checks for appearance, dimensions, assembly, quantity and packaging.
Compare the finished goods with the approved artwork and purchase specification. Check dimensions, visible design details, plating, enamel or printing, ribbon or attachment, quantity, individual packaging, carton labels and destination instructions.
Send the same written specification to each supplier and compare quantity, dimensions, process, finish, ribbon or attachment, packaging, sampling, inspection scope, trade term, destination and required in-hand date on the same basis.
Send the product, quantity, size, finish, attachment or ribbon, packaging, destination and required in-hand date on one clear specification.
