At LogoTags, custom challenge coins are not just another promotional product to us - they are part of a tradition that is deeply connected to our company’s history and our long-standing relationship with the United States military.

Our parent company, Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc., was founded in 1938 in the Bronx, New York, and remains one of the only manufacturers of ball chain in the United States. For generations, our company has produced the ball chains used for U.S. military dog tags, supplying millions of chains worn by service members around the world.

Today, our company is proudly five generations family-owned and operated, with the newest generation recently joining the business. That legacy of American manufacturing and service continues to shape everything we do.

Because of our history and our connection to the military, custom challenge coins hold special meaning for our team.

Our Company’s Military Heritage

During World War II and the decades that followed, American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have worn dog tags on ball chains manufactured by our company. These small but essential pieces of equipment became a symbol of service, identity, and sacrifice.

Because of this connection, we have always felt a deep respect for the traditions of the military — including the tradition of custom challenge coins.

Challenge coins have long been used within the armed forces to recognize service, build unit pride, commemorate missions, and honor achievement. Today they are also widely used by law enforcement, fire departments, government agencies, and organizations across the country.

For us, producing custom challenge coins is a natural extension of the work our company has been doing for generations.

What Makes Challenge Coins So Meaningful

A great challenge coin represents more than a design stamped into metal.

It represents:

• Unit pride
• Shared experience
• Service and sacrifice
• Recognition of excellence
• A moment or mission worth remembering

In military units, a custom challenge coin might commemorate a deployment, mark a promotion, or honor a member of the team who went above and beyond.

Many service members carry these coins for years - sometimes for their entire careers.

We take that responsibility seriously when we design and manufacture custom challenge coins for our customers.

Why We Focus on High-Quality Coins

Because of our manufacturing background, quality has always been a core part of what we do.

At LogoTags, our custom challenge coins are typically made from solid brass, which produces:

• sharper detail
• deeper relief
• heavier, more substantial coins
• cleaner electroplated finishes

A challenge coin should feel substantial in your hand and look just as impressive years later as it did the day it was presented.

Our goal is to create challenge coins that people are proud to carry.

A Fourth-Generation Family Commitment

LogoTags is part of a fourth-generation family-owned manufacturing company, and that heritage influences everything we do.

Our team works closely with customers to create coins that truly represent their organizations — whether they are for:

• military units
• law enforcement agencies
• fire departments
• corporate teams
• universities
• special events

Every custom challenge coin starts with an idea, and we help turn that idea into a finished design that will be meaningful for years to come.

Continuing a Tradition of Service

While challenge coins have evolved over the years, the meaning behind them has remained the same.

They are symbols of honor, pride, and shared accomplishment.

At LogoTags, producing custom challenge coins allows us to continue a connection with the military and public service communities that has been part of our company’s story for generations.

It is a tradition we are proud to support.
