BLG FLOORING LLC Crafts Commemorative USAF Challenge Coins – A Touch of Precision & Pride

Troutdale, OR – November 8, 2023 – BLG FLOORING LLC, a US-based manufacturer known for its commitment to quality and precision, has expanded its capabilities to include the production of high-quality, custom challenge coins, with a recent focus on crafting commemorative coins for the United States Air Force (USAF). While traditionally specializing in flooring solutions – delivering durable and beautiful surfaces for residential and commercial spaces – BLG FLOORING has leveraged its advanced manufacturing technology and meticulous attention to detail to enter the challenge coin arena, quickly earning a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. "We're a little different than your typical challenge coin company," explains a representative from BLG FLOORING LLC, based in Troutdale, Oregon. "We started with a focus on creating perfect surfaces, which demands incredibly precise manufacturing. That skillset translates really well to challenge coins. It's all about detail, getting the lines just right, and making something that feels substantial and looks fantastic."

They serve a diverse clientele, providing flooring options from classic hardwoods to modern luxury vinyl plank. The company's core values center around durability, aesthetic appeal, and customer satisfaction. This foundation proved surprisingly adaptable when approached with a request to produce custom challenge coins. “Someone suggested we could apply our tooling and finishing techniques to challenge coins," recounts the representative. "We initially thought it was a bit of a leap, but we took on a small project as a test, and the results were incredible. The detail we could achieve, the smooth finishes… it quickly became clear this was something we could excel at." The USAF Challenge Coin: A Symbol of Camaraderie and Achievement The USAF challenge coin is a time-honored tradition within the United States Air Force. These small, yet meaningful, tokens represent a unit’s heritage, a member’s accomplishments, or a significant event. They are a symbol of camaraderie, shared experience, and unwavering dedication to service. BLG FLOORING has been working with various USAF units and organizations to produce challenge coins that honor this tradition. They've handled projects ranging from small-batch commemorative coins for squadron milestones to larger runs recognizing the contributions of entire units. What Sets BLG FLOORING's USAF Challenge Coins Apart?

"We don't just make coins; we create miniature works of art." High-Quality Materials: BLG FLOORING sources only the finest materials, including durable alloys, ensuring that each coin is built to last.
