Between military and LE organizations and industry, there are a gazillion different giveaways out there. Consequently, we are always looking for something different and we have found it thanks to S.T.A.T. International. They just introduced CHIPS. No, it has nothing to do with Ponch or John but rather stands for Changing How Industries Promote Synergy.
Once you understand what CHIPS is all about, the name makes complete sense. They have taken traditional challenge coins but traded the metal for ceramic. They are not only less expensive, but also offer some design options that are all but impossible with metal coins such as edge lettering. Working with lead designer, Jay Rowlingson of T!ng Creative, they will help you to develop a custom product whether for units, agencies, private firms or as a replacement for traditional business cards. These are pretty cool and we are taking a look at using them.
