Step 1: Decide Which Medal Crafts To Use

If you are the head of a tournament organizer, you may not know what processes are applicable to your medals and what facilities your suppliers can offer you, don’t worry, after reading this article you will know how to customize your medals and communicate with your suppliers.

Rainbow Running Race

William is the organizer of a rainbow run program with over 1000 participants. He has been working with us on custom medals for over 3 years.

We initially reached out to him, and it just so happened that he was also looking for a better supplier, so he sent us his logo and the design (if you don’t have, don’t worry, most suppliers will provide a free design).

At that time he did not tell us which processes he would like to use.

So we gave him a list of the most suitable processes based on our experience.

He felt that these processes might be worth trying, and we went on to the next step of the discussion.

Of course, if you have already decided which processes to use, you can also tell the supplier directly.

This article will list some of the processes commonly used on medallions and explain how they work for your reference.

Step 2: Choose Your Medal Size

Now, let’s talk about size, shall we? Size matters, but not in the way you think!
A bigger medal doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better, unless you’re compensating for something, of course. The medal size should be determined based on the design and the purpose of the medal.

medal size

Based on William’s design, we suggested the size of the medal is 3″. William wanted a larger size, but due to budget constraints, he might have to reduce the process a bit, which might not work well, so William took our advice.

For instance, if you’re making a medal for a marathon, you might want to go for a larger size to make it more eye-catching. On the other hand, if you’re making a medal for a charity event, a smaller size might be more appropriate to keep the costs down.

But don’t worry, we won’t leave you hanging on this one. We’ll help you choose the right size for your medal based on your design and budget. And if you’re not sure, we’ll guide you through the whole process. So, let’s work together to make your medal stand out, no matter the size!

Step 3: Select Medal Accessories

To be in line with the Rainbow Run theme, we are in complete agreement with William’s goal of selecting satin ribbon due to its ability to incorporate gradient colors.

There are fewer options for medal accessories than for badges, which fits the medal application scenario.

In our 10+ years of medal making, the vast majority of medals are made with either Fabric Ribbon or Satin Ribbon, Satin Ribbon can be printed with gradient colors and your event logo, while Fabric Ribbon is a bit plainer.

Past customers have also chosen other accessories, such as Ball Chains, Rope, and Chain, and you can request other accessories and we will communicate with the appropriate manufacturer.

Step 4: Decide The Packaging

Coming to the step of packaging, there is an old saying in China that people depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles, which means that people will look extraordinarily spiritual when they wear a decent dress; horses will look especially steep and beautiful when they are equipped with a pair of elaborate saddle blankets.

The medal is also the same. Packaging is all about presentation.

What image do you want to convey to your winner, do you want it to be sophisticated, interesting, or valuable, consider the material of your packaging as well as the design, and even any other branding information you want to include.

But don’t forget that the most important thing the packaging needs to be is durable enough to allow for the protection of your medallion during shipping and storage.

At the same time, beautiful packaging can make you win in the future, it can impress the winners and even create a collecting hobby.

So let’s get creative and make your packaging stand out from everyone else!

We now have at least 6 packaging options for you to choose from. If you want other packaging methods, please send us the pictures, and we will solve it for you once and for all, you don’t need to spend time finding another supplier.

William believes that in order to stand out from other events and highlight his own, leaving a lasting impression on people, he has chosen the velvet box.

It must be admitted that medals with exquisite box packaging can be displayed beautifully, and William’s choice is excellent.

Step 5: Find A Trustworthy Supplier

So, you’ve decided on your design sketches, medal sizes, accessories, and even the packaging. Now, it’s time to find a trusted supplier to make your dream come true. But how do you know who to trust? Look for a supplier with a track record of delivering quality products on time and being responsive to your needs and concerns. You can also ask for references or look for reviews from other customers.

Remember, cheap isn’t always the best, with production time, shipping time, etc. involved in the middle – when it comes to something as important as your custom medallion, quality and reliability are key.

Step 6: Determine The Budget

Determining your budget is like playing a game of Tetris – making sure everything fits together perfectly is the key to your success or failure! But fear not, my dear reader, for there are many options to fit every budget and sometimes other processes can be used appropriately to achieve the same results.

But don’t fear, my dear reader, for there are many options to suit every budget. From simple and affordable to extravagant and luxurious, there is a custom medallion option for everyone. Just be sure to keep in mind the various factors that may affect the price, such as the size of the medallion, the type of metal used, the craftsmanship used, and additional accessories or packaging. As long as h stay in communication with the vendor, you can customize the perfect medallion without breaking the bank.

Step 7: The Production Cycle Of Medals

Oh, my dear readers, it’s time to talk about production lead times! Don’t worry, we won’t bore you with all the nitty-gritty details, but it is important to note that the production time for a bespoke medal will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the design, the quantity required and the production method chosen.

Generally speaking, your bespoke medal may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to produce. We will work closely with our trusted shipping partners to ensure your medals are produced to the highest quality and delivered on time.
