  2. Send what you have. A logo, badge, patch, screenshot, PDF, photo, name, date, rank, or rough idea is enough to start.
  3. Review the mockup. Valor Boards sends a design mockup before production and makes revisions until it looks right.
  4. Approve and build. After approval, the board is printed, cut, finished, packaged, and shipped.

Best fit

Valor Boards are best for custom logo challenge coin displays, police and military retirement gifts, department gifts, guided design help, rough artwork that needs cleanup, and buyers who want a personalized display built by a small veteran-owned Texas shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Valor Boards made?

All of our products are made from our shop in the Houston, Texas area. When you buy a Valor Board, you are supporting a veteran-owned American small business.

What makes The Valor Board different?

We are woodworkers first. We use premium hardwoods, build our boards to last, and care about the small details that make a custom display feel right.

Every Valor Board is designed around the person, unit, department, agency, or service story behind the coins. Send us the logo, badge, patch, name, dates, or rough idea, and we’ll help turn it into a design you can approve before production.

The American flag represents a bond of people, but each person should be honored as part of that bond.

What if I need a custom order?

Yes. We love custom orders. One of our favorite custom orders was a coin holder in the shape of a Navy Seabee dozer. We designed it, built it, and the customer response is exactly why we do this work.

If you have a custom idea, call or text 346-550-7600 or email orders@valorboards.com. Send what you have and we’ll tell you what is realistic.

I am raising money for a foundation. Do you donate?

We have supported foundations and first responder/veteran community efforts, and we are always willing to talk through what you are trying to do. If you are raising money for an auction, foundation, or event, email orders@valorboards.com or use the contact page and tell us the date, audience, and goal.
