Medal Options for Event and Wholesale Orders
Medals can be developed for sports competitions, schools, corporate awards, clubs, associations and commemorative events. Depending on the artwork, buyers can specify shape, diameter, thickness, relief details, colors, finish, ribbon style and packaging.
Before sampling, we normally confirm the medal dimensions, front and back design, relief areas, surface appearance, ribbon requirements and packing method so the approved sample and specification can serve as the production reference.
Key Options
- Round or shaped medal designs
- Single- or double-sided artwork
- Raised and recessed relief details
- Different metal finish directions
- Color-filled details where suitable
- Ribbon and presentation packaging options
Medal OEM Support
Medal projects normally begin with clear artwork showing logos, text, borders, relief details and color areas. Vector artwork is preferred for designs that contain fine lettering or precise graphic elements.
Common OEM options include:
- Shape, diameter and thickness adjustment
- Front and back artwork
- Raised, recessed or engraved details
- Color-filled areas where suitable
- Surface finish selection
- Ribbon color and printed ribbon options
- Gift boxes, presentation boxes and private label packaging
The final production route depends on the medal construction and approved design.
