다이캐스팅 메달 vs 스탬핑: 맞춤 메달에는 무엇이 더 좋을까?

목차

맞춤형 메달을 주문하기로 결정하면 중요한 기술적 선택에 직면하게 됩니다: 다이캐스팅 메달 또는 스탬핑? 이 선택은 메달 디자인의 기초가 되며, 사용 가능한 맞춤형 형태에서 최종 배송 비용까지 모든 것을 결정합니다. 

적절한 맞춤형 제조 방식을 선택하면 맞춤형 메달의 품질, 비용, 리드타임, 디자인 유연성에 영향을 미칩니다. 많은 공급업체들이 저렴한 다이캐스팅 메달을 제공하며, 수백 가지 옵션 중에서 선택할 수 있어 필요에 맞는 완벽한 제품을 쉽게 찾을 수 있습니다.

대부분 최소 주문 수량 제한이 없으므로, 메달 하나만 주문해도 제한 없이 가능합니다.

축구 토너먼트, 무술 벨트 시험, 또는 크로스컨트리 대회를 주최하든, 제공하는 맞춤형 메달은 모든 수상자에게 오래도록 남는 인상을 주어야 합니다. 이 가이드는 캐스트 메달과 스탬프 메달의 맞춤형 세계를 이해하고, 선수들에게 높은 품질의 메달을 제공하면서 비용을 절감하는 방법을 안내합니다.

다이캐스팅이란 무엇인가요?

다이캐스팅 메달은 용융 금속을 고압으로 강철 금형에 주입하는 과정을 포함합니다. 이 맞춤형 방식은 3D 양각과 복잡한 맞춤형 형태가 필요한 맞춤 다이캐스트 메달의 기준입니다. 수상 메달에 3D 로고나 정교한 텍스처가 포함되어 있다면, 다이캐스팅 메달이 최상의 선택입니다.

메달 샵에서 보면, 주조 메달은 통합 병따개나 회전 부품과 같은 맞춤형 기능을 허용합니다. 다이캐스팅 과정은 액체 금속을 사용하기 때문에 맞춤형 금형의 모든 작은 구석까지 채울 수 있어, 성취 세부 사항이 돋보이는 맞춤 메달을 만드는 최고의 방법입니다.

What Is Stamping?

Stamping is a custom process where a heavy die is pressed onto a sheet of metal (usually brass, steel, or aluminum) to “stamp” the logo and word medal text onto the surface. Unlike die casting medals, which are molded from liquid, stamped custom medals are cut from solid sheets.

Stamping is a traditional custom method often used for military medals or simple award medals. It is a custom way to produce medals quickly, though it is limited to 2D custom designs. For a soccer league or cross country event needing thousands of medals with a flat logo, stamping can help you save money.

주요 차이점

설계 유연성

When you create custom medals, flexibility is everything. Die casting medals offer high flexibility for 3D custom designs, multi-layered custom medals, and custom shapes that stamping simply cannot achieve. While die cast medals can be thick and textured, stamped medals are limited to flat custom surfaces with minimal medal detailing.

Production Time and Cost

The custom setup for die casting medals typically involves a higher upfront custom mold cost. Because cast medals require the metal to cool and the die to be prepared with precision, the custom lead time is longer.

Some providers may also charge extra for custom features such as color options or designer plates, so it’s important to confirm all additional charges before placing your order. Stamping, however, is a faster custom process. 

If you need to order custom medals in high volumes for sport events on a tight custom deadline, stamped medals are more efficient.

Custom Quality and Detail

For custom die cast medals, the custom precision is unmatched. Cast medals allow for deep custom engravings and raised custom elements that give a gold, silver, or bronze medal its weight and value.

Stamping produces cleaner edges for flat custom medals but fails to provide the custom depth needed for a lasting impression.

Pros and Cons of Die Casting

Pros:

  • Custom 3D designs: Ideal for complex custom die cast medals.

  • Custom detail: Die casting medals capture every part of your logo.

  • Custom shapes: Die cast allows for unique custom medals and custom insert medals.

When to Use Die Casting Medals

You should choose die casting medals when your event requires a high-end, commemorative feel. For martial arts or sportachievementawards, the weight of custom diecast medals makes a difference. If your custom medals include:

  • Custom 3D reliefs or logo textures.

  • Custom interactive parts (spinners or sliders).

  • Custom cut-outs or unique custom shapes.

  • Custom insert medals for specific athletes—these are made of two parts: a sublimated insert disc and a solid metal insert holder, allowing you to customize the medal to suit individual needs by choosing different designs for both the insert and the holder.

In these cases, die casting medals are the only way to create a gold, silver, or bronze award that feels truly special.

When to Use Stamping for Custom Medals

Stamping is the custom choice for high-volume running events like a cross country marathon.

If you are looking to save money and need five thousand soccer medals with a simple logo, stamping is the way to go. It is the best custom method for budget-conscious events where a flat award medal is sufficient.

Case Studies

  • Example 1: A Commemorative Anniversary Event. A medals shop was asked to create a custom 50th-anniversary medal for a university. The medal design featured a detailed 3D logo of the campus clock tower. Die casting medals were chosen because only cast medals could add depth to the architecture, creating a lasting impression for every recipient. The company was able to serve the client’s needs by offering custom insert medals that typically cost under $7.50 each, with no minimum order requirements—allowing the university to order exactly the quantity they needed.

  • Example 2: A Massive City Marathon. With ten thousand athletes participating in a soccer and cross country festival, the organizers needed to order custom medals quickly and affordably. Stamping allowed them to produce gold, silver, and bronze medals with the city logo at a fraction of the custom setup cost, ensuring everyone received their award medals on time. The flexibility to serve both small and large orders meant the organizers could confidently request any quantity, from a single medal to thousands, without restrictions.

결론

In the end, the choice between die casting medals and stamping comes down to your custom priorities. If you want great quality, 3D detail, and custom shapes, custom die cast medals are the winner. If you need to save money on a simple custom logo for a high-volume sport event, stamping is your best friend.

Understanding the trade-off between custom design complexity and custom production cost is essential for any medals shop customer. No matter which custom path you choose, make sure your award medals represent the hard work of your athletes.
