What People Say About us
Die-Struck vs. Die-Cast: Why Our Manufacturing Process Creates a Superior Medal
Not all custom medals are made the same way, and the manufacturing process determines everything about the final product. Our medals are die-struck, meaning solid metal is pressed under immense tonnage to create a dense, heavy piece with exceptionally sharp detail. This is the gold standard for premium award manufacturing.
Most budget suppliers use die-casting, a process that pours liquid zinc alloy into a mold. The result is a lighter, more porous medal with softer edges and less defined artwork. Here is how the two processes compare:
- Die-Struck (Our Process): Solid metal pressed under extreme pressure. Produces heavy, dense medals with crisp, deep detail. Superior finish retention over time.
- Die-Cast (Budget Imports): Molten zinc alloy poured into molds. Produces lighter medals with rounded, less defined features. Prone to faster wear and tarnishing.
We start with solid foundations of bronze, copper, and sterling silver. For first-place finishes, we apply brilliant gold plating that delivers the unmistakable look of a true champion’s award. Tournament organizers and coaches who want something extraordinary can add inset stones or zircons to create a standout MVP or weight-class award.
Custom Sports Medals for Every Event: Youth Leagues to National Championships
Whether you organize a local 5K, coach a youth football league, or run a state wrestling tournament, we manufacture custom sports medals tailored to your event. Our catalog spans every major discipline: baseball, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, track and field, volleyball, hockey, gymnastics, tennis, golf, wrestling, pickleball, and more.
Each medal is built from scratch around your event’s identity. Send us your tournament logo, team colors, and event details, and our designers will create a detailed digital proof for your approval before we manufacture a single piece. The result is a personalized award that captures the spirit of competition and gives every athlete something worth displaying for years to come.
Design Your Own Medal: How to Create a Custom Medal with Your Logo
Creating a one-of-a-kind custom medal with us follows a simple, approval-driven process:
- Submit Your Artwork: Send us your logo, event name, date, and any specific artwork or text you want included. If you have a rough concept instead of finished files, that works too.
- Review Your Digital Proof: Our design team builds a high-resolution digital proof showing exactly how your finished medal will look. You review every detail, request changes if needed, and approve. Changes during this stage are unlimited and free.
- We Manufacture and Ship: Once approved, we die-strike your medals from solid metal at our South Carolina facility and ship directly to you. Standard turnaround is 3 to 4 weeks, with expedited options available.
Customization goes beyond surface graphics. You choose the medal shape (round, star, shield, or a completely custom silhouette), the base metal, the plating finish, and even the ribbon color. We offer traditional neck ribbons, pin-back attachments, and magnetic display options.

Yes. We have a strict no-minimum-order policy. You can order a single custom medal for an MVP award or thousands for a large event. Every medal, regardless of order size, is die-struck from premium materials and manufactured to the same high standard at our South Carolina facility.
What is the difference between die-struck and die-cast medals?
Die-struck medals are pressed from solid metal under extreme pressure, producing a heavy, dense piece with sharp, crisp detail. Die-cast medals are made by pouring liquid zinc alloy into a mold, resulting in a lighter product with softer edges and less definition. All of our custom medals are die-struck for superior quality, weight, and finish longevity.
How fast can I get custom medals made and shipped?
Our standard turnaround is approximately 3 to 4 weeks after you approve the design proof. For urgent orders, we offer expedited production and overnight shipping from our US-based facility. Because everything is manufactured in-house, we bypass the delays common with overseas suppliers and can meet most tight deadlines.
