FAQs

Everything you need to know about custom medals.

Q

What is the minimum order for custom medals?

Our minimum order for custom medals is 50 pieces. Need fewer than that? Just ask us. We can often accommodate smaller runs depending on the design and timing. Larger quantities also come with better bulk-order pricing, so the more you order, the better the break usually is.

Q

How long does it take to make custom medals?

Standard production typically runs three to four weeks from approved proof to delivery. Timing depends on medal style, quantity, engraving, and shipping location. Rush medals are available for tighter event deadlines.

Q

Can you rush medal orders for a specific event date?

Yes. Rush production is available for event dates that do not fit a standard timeline. Share your in-hands deadline when you request a quote and we will confirm whether rush medals will work for your event.

Q

What is the difference between die struck and die cast medals?

Die struck medals use a die to stamp detail into a flat metal blank. The result is crisp, classic, and best for simpler relief. Die cast medals use molten metal poured into a mold, which allows deeper 3D details and fully custom shapes. Most sports medals and race finishers are die cast. Most academic and corporate awards are die struck.

Q

Do you offer free design help?

Yes. Professional free design work comes standard with every custom medals for awards order. Send us rough artwork, a logo, or even a description. Our team turns it into a clean production-ready file and sends a proof for approval before anything gets built.

Q

Can medals be engraved with names or places?

Yes. Personalized engraving is available on the front, back, or both. Names, places, dates, divisions, and event text all work. This is especially useful for placement awards and service recognition programs.

Q

What ribbon options do you offer?

Standard stock color ribbons, sublimated print ribbons with custom artwork, woven ribbons, and fully custom printed ribbons. Neck drape, pin-back, and specialty lengths are all available.

Q

Do you offer presentation boxes?

Yes. Velvet presentation boxes, clamshell acrylic cases, and standard poly bags are all available. Upgraded packaging is worth considering for service awards, milestone celebrations, and formal recognition ceremonies.

Q

Can I reorder medals from a past design?

Yes. We keep a spec record for every order, which makes reorders simple. Send us the event name or order reference and we can match the previous build exactly, including finishes, ribbon, and engraving style.

Q

How do I get a quote?

Click any Request a Quote button on this page, share your event details, quantity, and deadline, and our team will send back a clear quote with options. If artwork is not ready yet, that is fine. We can help shape it during the proof stage.
