Make Your Own Medal. Why Detail-Obsessed Brands and Event Organizers Choose Die Casting for Their Highest-Impact Awards
When a medal is lifted for the first time, its weight tells a story. It’s not just metal—it’s a tangible representation of achievement, memory, and prestige. For organizers, corporate leaders, and institutions demanding awards that resonate deeply, Custom Die Cast Medals stand apart. In this guide, we’ll explore why this method defines top-tier recognition—and how to ensure your medals exceed expectations.
At its core, die casting involves injecting molten zinc alloy into a precision mold. But the type of mold determines everything:
Our factory uses a steel die/mold, Created through 3D CNC engraving for razor-sharp detail, these molds ensure consistency across thousands of medals. Ideal for complex logos, fine text, and 3D realism. Many manufacturers will use a disposable rubber mold (spin cast), A Compromise solution Used for faster/cheaper production, they often sacrifice clarity and uniformity.. Insist on steel molds for awards meant to be kept for generations. For rapid prototypes, rubber may suffice—but never for flagship events.
Before commissioning medals, ask any supplier these questions—as we proudly answer them for our clients:
1.Thickness & Substance: Are medals robust (≥3mm) or thin and hollow? Ours deliver a satisfying "heft" that signals quality.
2.Detail Clarity: Can you read every word and see every design element? Steel molds prevent blurring or loss of definition.
3.Plating Consistency: Is the finish even? We buff and plate each medal to avoid splotches or uneven antiquing.
4.Edge Finishing: On antique finishes, are edges polished? We highlight raised areas while recesses stay dark for contrast.
5.Hardware Matching: Do jump rings and clips match the medal’s plating? We coordinate every component.
6.Packaging Integrity: Are medals individually bagged and ribboned? Ours arrive ready for presentation.
"2D Medals" or two dimensional custom medals maintain two or more flat plains or levels. Most often, a 2D medal has a low recessed level and a raised higher flat level (raised text). "3D Medals" or three dimensional medals have variations or graduations in levels making images look more realistic. Three Dimensional molds are more expensive to make.
"Color Enamels Medals" : Add vibrancy with epoxy, glitter, or glow-in-the-dark fills. Color isn’t an afterthought—it’s a strategic tool.
