Hope someone can advise on this.
Customer came in with a Crown Awards catalog.
It looks like geared for the end user type of catalog.
They want me to quote 270 neck ribbons and medals
exactly like whats in catalog. I Called they dont sell wholesale.
And I can't find this item nowhere. Any suggestions?

Do you have a picture of the item to scan and show us? If not, could you take a look at the Crown website and give us the item number(s)?
I know that in the early development of the Crown Trophy franchise they were in tight with Freeman Products. Over the years Crown has negotiated deals with other suppliers and have grown big enough to start developing and direct-importing some of their own designs. There is a chance it is a proprietary product.

Lynn,
I think my suspicions may have been correct about it being an in-house import. I have not seen this from any supplier yet. I did notice that Hasty Awards is offering a custom medal like that at a special event. http://www.hastyawards.com/newprod/pages/MiamiSpinner_1_04.html

Lynn,
I am glad to do it.
I have been in my shop for almost seven months now and still feel like I have a ways to go to be settled in. That is one of the difficult things about being a one man band, it is tough to sacrifice the production time to work on the asthetics. In my case, the production wheels never stopped rolling and I haven't had much of a chance to catch up. No complaints!

Hi Lynn,
We can provide that type of medal for you. Turnaround time is about
25 Days from artwork approval.
