## Awards built around the event

Custom sports medals combine event identity, achievement and presentation in one coordinated award. Build the design around the sport, then allow space for the event name, year, distance, division or placement. The medal and ribbon should carry the same visual identity from podium photographs to the finished keepsake.

## Shape, relief and color

Choose zinc alloy, iron or brass according to the size, shape and relief. Two-level artwork suits logos, text and enamel color blocks; sculpted 3D elements add depth to athletes, mascots and equipment. Custom outlines and cutouts can make the sport or event theme part of the silhouette.

Bright, antique, matte, black and double-plated finishes can be paired with enamel or metal-only detail. Four hanging-loop styles and a choice of heat-transfer, jacquard or screen-printed ribbon allow the neckwear to match the medal. Chains and twisted cords provide alternative presentation options.

## From artwork to award

The approved proof defines both faces, relief, color, hanging point and ribbon artwork before tooling. After metal forming and finishing, the neckwear is assembled and checked with the medal for clear detail, consistent color and secure attachment. Coordinate related designs across age groups, race distances or tournament placements.

## Plan your order

The minimum order is 50 pieces. Typical production takes 12-18 business days, excluding shipping. Send the event logo, sport, date, size, quantities by division, ribbon preference and destination. Races, team tournaments, school sports days and corporate fitness events can each use a tailored medal and ribbon combination.

## Design considerations

For races and team tournaments, plan the event and sponsor artwork, medal size, and ribbon width as one set. Use the hanging loop that fits the selected ribbon, chain, or cord.

**Should I choose a 2-inch or 4-inch medal for a race?** 

A 2-inch medal helps manage weight and budget. A 4-inch medal leaves more room for artwork. Consider the event level, ribbon width, number of medals, and shipping cost before deciding.

**How do you reinforce the ribbon attachment on a large sports medal?** 

Strength depends on the distance from the hole to the edge, the loop thickness, and the medal weight. We check these together and recommend sampling oversized or irregular medals.

**Can you add a logo to the back of a sports medal?** 

Yes. We can add a logo by printing or engraving after the medal is formed. The method affects the quotation.

**What are your standard custom medal sizes and production times?** 

Medals typically measure 2–4 inches and take 12–18 business days to produce, excluding shipping. We confirm size and timing against the artwork, quantity, process, weight, ribbon strength, and budget.

**Can event medal ribbons use Pantone colors and full-color gradients?** 

We offer solid-color woven ribbons, screen printing, and dye sublimation. Gradients require a suitable printing process, and fabric affects the result. We confirm the artwork and ribbon dimensions together with the medal attachment.
