26 textures · workshop standard
The background
makes the relief.
The texture applied to the recessed background of a coin or pin changes everything: it kills or keeps the shine, adds depth, and makes the raised artwork stand out. Here are the 26 textures we run in the workshop, recreated so you can read each effect.
Sandblasted & grained
Sandblasted matte surface, from near-smooth satin to a pronounced grain. The most common background: it kills glare and makes the raised artwork pop.
Smooth satin
Very fine sandblast
Fine sandblast
Medium sandblast
Strong sandblast
Grained
Coarse grain
Heavy grain
Soft sandblast
Stippled
A regular field of recessed dots. Gives a fine matte feel and a very clean, graphic background.
Fine stipple
Dense stipple
Medium dots
Micro dots
Lines & weave
Regular motifs — stripes, chevrons, woven basket. A structured, graphic background with rhythm.
Basket weave
Tight crosshatch
Wide weave
Diagonal lines
Geometric
Repeating grids — crosses, triangles, honeycomb, diamonds, scales, stars. The most distinctive background.
Small crosses
Triangles
Honeycomb
Diamond lattice
Fish scales
Stars
Organic
Irregular reliefs — pebbles, snakeskin, scattered chips. A living background, never twice the same.
Snakeskin
Pebbled
Scattered chips
