How Artigifts Manufactures Custom Medals From Design to Delivery

At Artigifts Premium Metal & Plastic Co., Ltd., every custom medal is more than a product—it is a carefully engineered piece of craftsmanship that represents achievement, emotion, and brand identity.

From the first design idea to final global delivery, our production system is built to ensure precision, efficiency, and consistent quality for every order. In this article, we walk you through the complete manufacturing journey of a custom medal.

Every project begins with communication.

Our team works closely with clients—event organizers, sports brands, and corporate buyers—to understand:

Event theme (marathon, school sports, corporate awards, etc.)
Design concept and inspiration
Size, shape, and material requirements
Budget and timeline
Branding elements (logos, sponsors, slogans)
This step ensures that every medal starts with a clear creative direction and technical feasibility plan.

Once requirements are confirmed, our design team transforms ideas into visual concepts. (Clients can review and revise until final approval.)

We provide:

2D artwork sketches

3D medal renderings

Structural suggestions for depth and layering

Color matching proposals (Pantone-based)

This stage ensures the design is not only visually strong but also suitable for real manufacturing.

After design approval, we move into one of the most critical steps: mold production.

Using advanced CNC engraving machines, we create high-precision steel molds that define the medal’s structure.

This process determines:

3D relief depth

Edge sharpness

Fine details of logos and text

A well-made mold ensures every medal produced is consistent and high-quality.

Once the mold is ready, we begin die casting.

We use high-quality zinc alloy material, melted and injected into the mold under high pressure.

This allows us to achieve:

Strong and durable medal body

Complex 3D designs

Smooth structural consistency

High production efficiency for large orders

At this stage, the medal takes its physical shape for the first time.

After casting, each medal undergoes detailed finishing work:

Removing excess metal edges

Hand or machine polishing

Surface smoothing

Preparing for plating or coloring

This step enhances both appearance and tactile quality, ensuring a premium finish.

Depending on design requirements, medals can be finished in multiple styles:

Common plating options:
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Bronze
  • Antique gold/silver
  • Black nickel

Color application:
  • Soft enamel filling
  • Hard enamel (premium finish)
  • UV printing for detailed graphics

Each medal is carefully color-matched and quality-checked for accuracy.

Before packaging, every batch undergoes strict QC inspection.

We check:

Color accuracy

Surface smoothness

Structural integrity

Size consistency

Logo and text clarity

Only products that pass inspection move to the final stage.

To enhance presentation, we offer customized packaging solutions:

Individual poly bags or velvet pouches
Custom printed boxes
Event-branded packaging cards
Ribbon attachment (pre-assembled if required)

This ensures medals are event-ready upon arrival.

The final step is logistics coordination.

We support:

Air freight (fast delivery for urgent events)
Sea freight (cost-efficient for bulk orders)
Express courier (small or sample shipments)

Our team ensures proper packaging protection and documentation for smooth international customs clearance.

With years of manufacturing experience, Artigifts has become a trusted partner for global event organizers because we provide:

Full in-house production system

Fast sample turnaround (3–5 days)

Reliable bulk production (7–15 days)

OEM & ODM customization capability

Strict quality control standards

From initial concept to final delivery, every custom medal at Artigifts follows a precise and professional production workflow. This ensures that each piece not only meets technical standards but also carries emotional value for event participants.

A medal is more than metal—it is a symbol of achievement, and we are committed to making every detail count.
