A custom ball marker is produced to an approved drawing and artwork version. Before production, the review must resolve the outline, thickness, surface detail and any hat clip or divot tool it will fit. Manufacturing and inspection follow those requirements.

Material, Tooling and Forming

Select the material and route for the marker's geometry and quantity. Zinc-alloy die casting, metal stamping and other supported routes are reviewed by project; do not assume a zinc-alloy marker is die-cast. Confirm artwork, relief, flatness, edge detail and mating dimensions before forming and finishing.

Surface and Colour

Apply the approved plating, enamel, printing or engraving specification. Review front and back details, colour boundaries and contact surfaces against the sample. Appearance is confirmed visually; corrosion, adhesion or coating-thickness performance requires separately agreed tests where the project calls for them.

Fit, Inspection and Packing

Inspect the agreed dimensions, finish, artwork and edges. For a removable marker, check its positioning and removal with the matching part; any magnetic-retention criteria must be specified. Keep mixed artwork versions and quantities traceable through packing, and resolve nonconformities before release.

Start a Marker Project

Provide the quantity per design, artwork, dimensions, material and finish direction, mating parts and test requirements. CS reviews the forming route, tooling and sample approval for the order. There is no single marker size, tolerance or test value for every design.
