Materials and Production Processes
We use high-quality metal materials and proven manufacturing techniques to produce durable, detailed custom medals. Each material suits different budgets, designs, and event requirements.
Zinc Alloy Medals
Best for complex shapes, 3D relief, and cut-out designs. Excellent detail at a competitive price.
Brass & Copper Medals
Premium materials with solid weight and rich color. Ideal for executive awards and commemorative pieces.
Iron Medals
Economical option for simple 2D designs and large event orders where budget matters most.
Die Struck & Die Cast
Die striking creates sharp raised designs. Die casting allows for 3D depth and complex sculpting.
Finishes and Color Options
Our custom medals are available in a wide range of plating and coloring options. Popular finishes include shiny gold, antique gold, antique silver, antique bronze, black nickel, and dual plating. For color filling, we offer soft enamel, hard enamel, imitation hard enamel, and UV printing. We can match Pantone codes so your medals align with event branding or corporate colors.
Customization Options
Every element of the medal can be customized to match your event or brand identity. Options include custom shapes and sizes, engraved or printed text, 3D sculpted designs, spinner or moving parts, cut-out shapes, glitter enamel, glow-in-the-dark effects, and sequential numbering. Ribbons can be screen printed or dye sublimated with your logo, and packaging ranges from standard poly bags to velvet pouches and presentation boxes.
