How Long Does It Take to Get Custom Medals?

Custom medals can take anywhere from 1–2 weeks to 4–5 weeks or more after artwork and order approval, depending on the medal type, design complexity, quantity, and production method. Larger orders and more intricate designs may require additional production time.
