BLG FLOORING LLC Crafts Commemorative USAF Challenge Coins, Blending Precision Manufacturing with Patriotic Pride

TROUTDALE, OR – October 26, 2023 – BLG FLOORING LLC, a US-based manufacturer known for its commitment to quality and detail, has expanded its capabilities to include the creation of custom challenge coins, most recently producing a striking commemorative coin for members of the United States Air Force. While perhaps best known for their flooring solutions, BLG FLOORING's state-of-the-art facility and skilled team proved surprisingly adept at crafting these highly collectible and meaningful tokens. “We've always prided ourselves on precision work, whether it’s laying down a perfect floor or crafting a detailed design,” says a representative from BLG FLOORING LLC, located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd, Troutdale, OR, 97060-1429. “Challenge coins require a similar level of dedication to detail, and frankly, we really enjoyed the challenge of branching out and applying our skills in a new way.” Beyond Flooring: A New Skill Set BLG FLOORING LLC initially started as a premier flooring company, serving both residential and commercial clients. They quickly gained a reputation for high-quality installations, using a variety of materials including hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile. Focusing on customer satisfaction and durable, beautiful results, BLG FLOORING expanded its in-house capabilities to include custom fabrication and machining. This investment in technology and skilled labor laid the groundwork for their entry into the challenge coin market. "We weren't necessarily looking to make challenge coins," explains the representative. "But we had the machinery and the team with the right skillset to do it, and we realized there was a demand for high-quality, domestically produced coins. It was a natural extension of what we already do." The USAF Challenge Coin: A Symbol of Dedication The newly produced USAF challenge coin is a testament to BLG FLOORING’s ability to deliver intricate and visually appealing designs. The coins feature a highly detailed rendering of the USAF emblem on one side, with crisp lines and vibrant colors. The reverse side incorporates a custom design specific to the unit for whom the coins were commissioned, reflecting their unique history and mission. “These coins aren’t just metal discs,” says the representative. “They represent years of dedication, sacrifice, and camaraderie. We take that responsibility very seriously. We want every coin to be a source of pride for the service member who carries it.” The Challenge Coin Tradition For those unfamiliar, challenge coins are a time-honored tradition within the military, law enforcement, and other organizations. They're traditionally exchanged as a symbol of membership or a show of respect. The tradition also involves a playful "challenge" – if someone cannot produce their coin when asked, they are playfully obligated to buy a round of drinks for the challenger! The significance of the coin extends beyond this lighthearted tradition. It’s a tangible reminder of shared experiences, unit cohesion, and personal achievement. Service members often carry these coins with them as a symbol of their commitment and a connection to their fellow service members. BLG FLOORING’s Production Process BLG FLOORING employs a multi-stage process to ensure each challenge coin meets the highest standards of quality. The process starts with a detailed design consultation with the client. The BLG FLOORING team works closely with the client to refine the design and ensure it accurately reflects their vision. Once the design is finalized, a mold is created using precision CNC machining. The coins are then struck using a high-pressure die-casting process. Each coin undergoes rigorous quality control inspection to ensure it is free of defects. Finally, the coins are carefully packaged and shipped to the client. “We use only the highest quality materials and adhere to strict manufacturing standards,” explains the representative. “We want these coins to last a lifetime and become cherished keepsakes.” Beyond the USAF: Custom Coins for All Organizations While the USAF challenge coin is a prime example of BLG FLOORING’s capabilities, the company is open to creating custom coins for a wide range of organizations. They can accommodate orders of all sizes, from small batches to large-scale productions. “We’re not limited to military coins,” says the representative. “We can create custom coins for police departments, fire departments, schools, businesses – pretty much any organization that wants to commemorate a special event or recognize the contributions of its members.” Key Features of BLG FLOORING’s Challenge Coins: Custom Designs: BLG FLOORING works closely with clients to create unique and meaningful designs.
