Designing a tag is easy!

[ Return Home ]

There are only a few key things to remember when designing a tag:

  • The design area is small, roughly the size of a U.S. Quarter or a one Euro coin. Keep your design simple for quality and clarity.
  • PATHTAGS are custom on one side only, so you only need to design a single side.
  • Don't use gradients in your design. Stick with bright eye catching colors for the best result.
  • We suggest using under 6 colors in your design. Again, keep the design simple for quality and clarity.
  • Only 2D designs for round tags with silver plating are accepted at this time.
  • Avoid very fine colored detail. Colors are applied using enamel. The enamel is inlaid into tiny "canals" on your coin and then fired. Designs with very fine detail cannot be colored well.
  • Make your artwork as large as possible. We make a blueprint from your original artwork, having high resolution original artwork is very helpful.
  • Make it fun and personal! Be creative! Create a design for each person in your team or use a common design between you!
