What Kinds of Custom Medals Are There?

There are many different kinds of custom medals. Each type of medal has varying manufacturing processes and materials, lending each a unique look and feel to complement your event. Traditionally, the most popular custom medals are made from metals like zinc, brass, copper, and silver. A few of these are: Die Cast Medals are great for advanced design features like 3D sculpting. Spin Cast Medals are best for small to medium size orders and work well with simple designs. Die Struck Medals can use the finest materials and hold tiny details. Insert Medals combine a die cast medal and a two-inch full-color insert and are good for a quick turnaround. Other custom medals are made of acrylic, wood, glass, or even crystal. These medals are a great option when you’re looking for something other than traditional medals to make your event stand out.

How Much Does It Cost To Create Custom Medals?

We get asked this question a lot, and the answer is it depends! The overall cost of creating custom medals depends on the type of medal you choose, the finish, the thickness, how many you need, and how quickly you need them. There are ways to minimize your cost while still getting the award you really want. Small things, like ordering early and ordering in bulk, can save money without sacrificing any design elements.
