The design was given to the shop that got the medals. They sent it off to have these made. I will probably have to redesign these to make them my own. The real thing is the shape of the medal. I know the people that are doing this festival will probably have a stroke when they hear they will have to fork out another amount of money for the design die cast. oh well. <hr /><a name="a6732_7"></a><p><b>From: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.7">#7</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.5">#5</a>] 25 Apr 2007</p> Okay who might be the best and the cheapest.

I worked for the company many moons ago. <hr /><a name="a6732_11"></a><p><b>From: John (ICTJOHN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.11">#11</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.1">#1</a>] 25 Apr 2007</p> <p>Funky,</p> <p>You don't need/want the company that made them last year for several reasons:</p> <p>1. The previous award company that order the medals owns the "rights" to use that design. You will not be able to use the die even if it is for the same "end user".</p> <p>2. If you tell the manufacture that you want to have more of the medals made with changes, there is a possibility that they will call last years dealer and tell them what is going on..... I had that happen to me a few months ago - I lost the order.</p> <p>3. Most any custom medal manufacturer can make that same shape, size, look. It is not a fine quality piece, it actually looks to be "spin cast" so many of the higher end manufactures may not do that kind of process.</p> <p>You have already been given several names that will be a good place to start.</p> <p>Good luck,</p> <p>~</p> <hr /><a name="a6732_12"></a><p><b>From: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.12">#12</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> FYI--- I found the company for the medals. Took me all day. Between all of you good folks and me going thru all the medal companies on the ARA website. I found it. I have to vcall them back tomorrow with the changes and they will take care of me and my order. I just hope I get these back in time. Whoooooooooooopie. Time for a cocktail!!!! <hr /><a name="a6732_13"></a><p><b>From: gt350ed</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.13">#13</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.8">#8</a>] 25 Apr 2007</p> Hey "Funky".....<br /> <br /> The company "CNIJ" is an asian firm operating out of Canada. They were represented at this year's ARA in Las Vegas. At registration, each of us got a dog tag with a full color imprint on it. It looked like dye-sub but may have been a decal.<br /> <br /> In any event, I agree with John that you will likely NOT be able to go back to that company for the <u>same medal</u> without creating needless legal headaches for yourself. On the otherhand, if you like the quality and you change the design, and you are SURE that CNIJ did the original job, you could go with them.<br /> <br /> But, like others have said, once you have a new design, you might want to go with other companies for reasons of price, service, etc. Interestingly, AT Designs is also Canada based, although they now have U.S. locations. We have used Faro, also based in Montreal, Canada. Great service with Faro. <hr /><a name="a6732_14"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.14">#14</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.8">#8</a>] 25 Apr 2007</p> Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?<br /> <br /> http://www.cnij.com/english/main_en.html<br /> <br /> Contact Us<br /> <br /> Please contact your local:<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Promotional Product Distributor<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Advertising Specialty Distributor<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ Trophy and Engraving Shops (Us and Canada) <br /> CNIJ is a proud member of:<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ ASI-43008<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ PPAI-132744<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ PPAC-930205<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ ARA-060 420-00<br /> Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ PSI-45804 <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6732.1">1-5</a>  6-14</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
