BLG Flooring LLC Crafts Commemorative USAF Challenge Coins – A Blend of Precision & Patriotism

TROUTDALE, OR – November 8, 2023 – BLG Flooring LLC, a US-based manufacturer known for its meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality, is now extending its expertise to create stunning, custom challenge coins – specifically, a remarkable series honoring the United States Air Force (USAF). While perhaps best known for flooring solutions, BLG Flooring’s capabilities extend far beyond, encompassing high-precision metalwork ideal for creating these cherished symbols of service and camaraderie. For those unfamiliar, challenge coins are a time-honored tradition within the military and first responder communities. They’re not just pretty pieces of metal; they're emblems of unit pride, achievements, and a shared bond among those who serve. The tradition dates back centuries, but really took hold in the modern US military during the Vietnam War. Presenting or receiving a challenge coin signifies recognition, respect, and belonging. BLG Flooring’s foray into challenge coin production isn't a random pivot. The company, located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd in Troutdale, Oregon, already possessed the advanced CNC machining and precision die-casting equipment needed for demanding manufacturing processes. Essentially, the same tools used to create incredibly durable and accurate flooring components can be adapted to produce challenge coins of exceptional quality. "We've always been about precision and making things right," says a BLG Flooring representative. "Challenge coins require that same level of detail, and we realized we could really deliver something special.” The USAF Challenge Coin: A Closer Look The initial USAF challenge coins produced by BLG Flooring are causing a stir within veteran circles and among active duty personnel. The coins aren't just generic designs; they’re customizable, allowing units, squadrons, and even individual members to create coins that truly represent their story. Here’s what makes these coins stand out: High-Quality Materials: BLG Flooring uses only premium alloys – often brass, zinc alloy, or a combination – to ensure the coins are durable, weighty, and visually appealing. They’re built to last, a fitting tribute to those who serve. Intricate Design Capabilities: The company boasts advanced CNC milling and polishing technologies, allowing for incredibly detailed designs. They can render complex logos, emblems, and text with exceptional clarity. Think sharp lines, deep recesses, and raised elements that really pop. They can handle both 2D and 3D designs. Customization Options Galore: This is where BLG Flooring really shines. Clients can choose from a variety of finishes – including gold, silver, nickel, and antique bronze – and select from a range of plating options for added protection and shine. They offer both die struck and die cast options, each creating a slightly different look and feel. Multiple Backing Options: From intricate unit crests to motivational quotes, the backs of the coins can be fully customized to reflect the values and identity of the group. Color Enamel Fill: For those wanting a vibrant look, BLG Flooring offers high-quality enamel fills in a wide spectrum of colors. This adds another layer of detail and personalization to the coin. Packaging Options: They understand presentation matters. BLG Flooring offers various packaging options, from individual clear protectors to custom velvet boxes, ensuring the coin arrives in pristine condition. Beyond USAF: Serving All Branches and Organizations While the initial focus has been on creating exceptional USAF challenge coins, BLG Flooring is eager to extend its services to all branches of the US military, as well as law enforcement, fire departments, and other organizations. “We’re not just making coins; we’re crafting symbols of honor and dedication," explains the company representative. "We want to help organizations celebrate their members and their achievements in a tangible and meaningful way."
