Types of Custom Buckles

Share this post with your friends

While serving the important functional use of fastening your belt, Belt buckles can be easily customized and used for self-expression or group comradery. There are two main types of custom belt buckles. These are the Western-style buckle, hinge & hook, web belt buckle, or box frame. Keep reading to learn the difference between the two and decide which style of personalized belt buckle is right for you.

Western Style Buckle

As the name suggests, Western-style buckles have a long history in the American West. They are worn by cowboys and decorated with turquoise and designs of animals, state emblems, or other Wild West imagery. These buckles work with any belt with a snap-on loop on one end and prong holes on the other. The front can be colored and designed in almost any way you like.

Web Belt Buckles

Web belt buckles are a more modern buckle often used for official groups like naval personnel, where web belts are the uniform standard. Web belt buckles fit with any woven fabric webbed belts and are fastened together with a set of metal teeth. Like Western-style buckles, the front of these buckles can be customized with any color and design you choose.

Custom Belt Buckles: The Short of It

The primary difference between the belt buckle styles is which kind of belt they are compatible with. In this way, one buckle style cannot be interchanged with another. Otherwise, both buckles are fully customizable in the front and can be engraved in the back. Price is primarily affected by the design’s material, color, and complexity.

Whether you’re looking for a personalized belt buckle for yourself or custom belt buckles for your team or group, Lone Star Challenge Coins has just what you need. Don’t wait to start designing your perfect belt buckles today.

  My class spent well over $9,000 on our class coins. First issue, they didn't get them to us in a timely manner. We received them barely in time for graduation. Second, they sent us coins with a misspelled word (brave) as seen in the picture. Third issue, a lot of the spinners came broken, also as seen in the picture. When I reached out to the company, they claim sending replacement coins out at a later date is rectifying of this situation. Very empathetic to the situation at hand overall. Not very professional at all, terrible business practices and they definitely will not receive future business from me nor any recommendations either. Zero stars

  I found this company last year after a recommendation from a friend and I've ordered several times now. What keeps me coming back is the high level of customer service and responsiveness in the projects that have been created.

The work product is also great and the quality of the coins, detail and just overall, I am very pleased with. This is my GO TO shop now for coins.

Please check them out, you will not be disappointed!

PS. Big shout to Corbin for his amazing guest service!

  This company is fantastic! I reached out to them to create a custom shaped coin with custom artwork that they had put together for me. The coins are a Veteran's Day thank you token for those who served at our company. We will definitely be returning for future orders. From start to finish, they were very open with communication, extremely fast to respond to concerns and questions, and lastly delivered something that blew us out of the water. Thank you so much!

  I ordered challenge coins on behalf of my government agency. Lone Star was easy to work with and did amazing things with the graphics I sent. They turned the artwork around quickly and each time it was better than what we had hoped for. We did have several back and forth messages to get the coin exactly as we wanted it. Our representative was so patient with us and had excellent customer service. We also got the coins in the mail quickly. Working with Lone Star was a wonderful experience end-to-end.

  Absolutely fantastic company to work with.  Communication was always quick, and the final product looked even better than the proof did.  10/10 would recommend!

  I engaged with Lone star challenge coins to make coins for my fiancé's celebration of life. I was pretty clueless about design, and they provided the perfect design. The coins arrived in time, and we were more than satisfied with the outcome. Their customer service was excellent as well. They guided me (held my hand) throughout the process, and were quick to respond. I cannot say enough about their product and company.

  We are so grateful for the work Lone Star Challenge Coins did for our nonprofit fundraising event! They worked with our budget and gave us medals with ribbons and challenge coins that were better than we expected.

  Corbin was very combative when I explained that the design provided was not at all reflective of the requests that I provided on the Inquiry form. Based on the customer service alone during that 1 phone call, I am not inclined to pursue any business with this company.

EDIT: I spoke to the owner, Mike, and he helped rectify the situation and framed it as a learning opportunity for his team. This is a good reminder that people make mistakes but first impressions matter.
