How to specify this method
A reliable decoration brief starts with the exact product, substrate and finish. The production file must connect the approved artwork version, marking size and position, colour reference, process settings, sample status and packing instruction. Catalogue labels alone do not establish compatibility or durability. The production specification for Die-struck metal must confirm alloy blank, die relief, strike sequence, plating, enamel and attachment. A screen proof cannot establish adhesion, relief, edge finish or service durability; approve the relevant physical sample and test plan. A hardened die displaces a metal blank through one or more strikes; specify blank gauge, relief height and strike order, then inspect weak impressions, stress cracks and inconsistent rims.

Product applications
- Custom pins. Custom pins for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Printed pin with protective coating changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Name badges. Name badges for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Printed event badge in a holder is the baseline name badges format to compare against the intended use Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Branded keychains. Branded keychains for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Flexible moulded keychain changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Awards and trophies. Awards and trophies for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Acrylic award changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.

Planning across Italy
Confirm the exact product substrate, surface finish, artwork data, physical sample and inspection method before a decoration process is approved.
Treat Rome and the regional destinations Milan, Turin, Bologna, Florence as separate delivery batches. Record a recipient, access instructions, carton count, contents and acceptance evidence for every destination.
The country and city references define planning scope. They do not establish local stock, a warehouse, an office, fixed production time or confirmed delivery availability.
