Award Medals

Select by event type, medal material (metal alloy, zinc, or plated options), size (typically 1.5–3 inches), and attachment (ribbon, neck ribbon, or hanger). Consider engraving or customization space for event name and date, and whether you need different tiers (gold/silver/bronze) or participation medals

Prices vary by material, size, and customization: budget options are commonly under $50 for uncustomized sets, while custom metal medals and full-color designs can range higher; average prices across similar catalogs fall near mid-range levels

Typical lead times for customization are several days to a few weeks depending on order size and complexity; rush services may be available but will shorten production time and can increase cost

Check material (solid metal or plated), thickness, edge finish, and the quality of the ribbon and clasp. Reviews and average ratings can indicate consistent quality; look for corrosion-resistant finishes and reinforced attachment points for frequent handling

Most suppliers allow variable quantities and mixed designs, but minimum order quantities or separate setup fees may apply for customized elements; confirm whether batch mixing affects per-piece pricing or lead time

Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, wipe with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, and avoid harsh chemicals; for plated medals, consider individual pouches or boxes to prevent scratches and tarnishing

Be prepared to provide artwork or logo files (vector preferred), desired text for engraving, medal size and finish, ribbon style and colors, quantity, and any deadline for delivery
