What Are Metal Medals?
Custom metal medals are award pieces designed around an event, organisation or achievement. A medal can combine a shaped metal body, raised and recessed artwork, selected colour decoration and a neck ribbon or other agreed presentation. Front and reverse designs may serve different purposes, such as a visual emblem on one side and event or recipient information on the other. The body, ribbon connection, finish and packaging should be reviewed as one complete award rather than quoted from a front image alone.
Explore Metal Medals
Relief Metal Medals
Use raised and recessed metal details to emphasise an emblem, landmark or event symbol. Review depth and small lettering together.
Colour-Decorated Medals
Add compatible enamel or printed detail where the artwork needs colour. Confirm the process and metal finish on the sample.
Custom-Shaped Medals
Build the outline around your event identity. Review the ribbon slot, connector and overall proportions as part of the design.
Details That Shape the Finished Product
Sculpted Visual Detail
Raised and recessed surfaces create a dimensional focal point for an award emblem.
Coordinated Finish
Choose a metal appearance that works with the artwork and the planned award collection.
Defined Ribbon Connection
Plan the slot or connector with the ribbon so the complete award hangs as intended.
Presentation Options
Coordinate a ribbon, individual box or award set around the way the medal will be presented.
Design the Medal as a Complete Award
Custom metal medals should be planned with the ribbon and presentation from the beginning. The outline and connection point affect how the medal hangs, while the ribbon colour and artwork extend the event identity. Share the front, reverse and any ribbon artwork together. A physical sample lets you review the proportions, surface appearance and assembled presentation before approving the award range.
Keep Variations and Personalisation Clear
An event may need several finishes, distances, categories or recipient versions. Identify which parts of the design are shared and which change, including reverse-side text and any individual names or numbers. Confirm the personalisation method, supplied data format and approval arrangement before production. Review the quantity breakdown and final artwork for every variation so packing and identification can follow the same plan.
Customise Your Complete Product
Relief and Colour
Identify the details that need depth or colour. Review fine lettering and the selected surface treatment at the intended size.
Ribbons and Attachments
Discuss ribbon dimensions, artwork and connector arrangement together with the medal body.
Reverse and Gift Packaging
Specify any reverse decoration or personalisation area, then confirm the box, pack contents and labels.
From Your Artwork to an Approved Sample
1. Share Your Idea
A logo, sketch or reference image is enough to begin. Add the approximate quantity and target date if known.
2. Review the Specification
Discuss artwork, size, construction, attachment or backing and packaging together before choosing the final proposal.
3. Confirm the Quote and Proof
Review the proposed artwork and design-specific charges. Confirm the agreed version and scope before arranging a sample.
4. Review Your Sample
Sampling has no minimum order quantity and takes 7 working days. Compare the finished appearance and assembly with the agreed specification.
5. Approve Bulk Production
Record the approved version and any changes. Confirm quantities per design and the production plan for the order.
6. Confirm Packing and Delivery
Agree the pack contents and destination. Artwork review, sample transport, approval and bulk production are separate stages.
Choose the Right Presentation for Your Audience
Sports and Event Awards
Create a medal around an original event emblem and a ribbon that carries the same identity. Identify the categories and quantities early, especially where different finishes or distances are required. Review the complete assembled sample and packaging before confirming the production schedule for the event date.
Corporate Recognition
Mark a company milestone, internal programme or achievement with a coordinated award. Share the presentation occasion, artwork and any recipient-specific information so the medal, reverse decoration and box can be reviewed together. Confirm who approves personalisation data and how each version will be identified before the order proceeds.
Clubs and Commemorative Collections
Translate a club symbol, venue or anniversary theme into a dimensional keepsake. Review the level of sculpted detail, metal appearance and any colour accents on a sample. If the project contains several editions, identify the quantity and artwork for each one and coordinate a consistent ribbon or presentation style across the range.
Metal Medals: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for custom metal medals?
Sampling has no minimum order quantity. Bulk minimums depend on the design, construction and decoration and are confirmed in the quotation. If several award categories share a project, identify quantities per version so tooling, finishing, personalisation and packing can be reviewed on a clear basis.
Can I choose a custom medal shape?
A custom outline can be reviewed with your emblem, relief and ribbon connection. Narrow areas, cutouts and the intended size need to work with the proposed construction. Send a drawing or reference and review the complete front and reverse specification before approving the sample.
Can medals have artwork on both sides?
Yes, you can propose different front and reverse artwork. Specify the relief, colour and wording for each face, along with any area reserved for personalisation. The quotation and proof should describe both sides so the sample represents the complete medal rather than an unspecified reverse finish.
Can you add names, numbers or event categories?
Personalisation can be discussed for the selected material and finish. Share the required data and identify which elements change between medals. Confirm the production method, file format, proofreading responsibility and packing labels before ordering, then review a representative example of the agreed personalisation on the sample.
Can one design use different metal finishes?
You can request several finish versions for review, such as a coordinated award range. Confirm the quantity of each version and whether the artwork, ribbon or reverse details also change. The quotation should make clear which setup is shared and which finishing or production items are separate.
Are ribbons included with the medals?
Ribbons can be included when specified in the quotation. Confirm the ribbon artwork, colour, dimensions and attachment, along with whether medals are supplied assembled. If you already have ribbons, share their connection details so the medal slot or connector can be reviewed for the intended arrangement.
How long does a medal sample take?
Sampling takes 7 working days. Confirm the start date for the agreed artwork and construction. Revisions, approval, sample shipping and bulk production require separate time. For an event deadline, share the required arrival date and destination so the complete medal and ribbon schedule can be reviewed.
Can medals come in presentation boxes?
Yes, individual boxes and coordinated award packaging can be discussed. Show the intended presentation and confirm whether the ribbon is packed inside, displayed separately or supplied assembled. Review the fit and pack contents with the sample, and identify any labels needed for different award categories or recipients.
