When planning a marathon, charity run, school competition, corporate event, or sports tournament, custom medals are more than just awards. They are part of the event experience and often become lasting souvenirs for participants.
However, ordering custom event medals can be challenging when a manufacturer requires a high minimum order quantity (MOQ).
Not every event has thousands of participants. Some organizers are testing a new event, launching a small regional competition, ordering medals for a special category, or producing several different medal designs for one event series.
This is why more event organizers look for medal manufacturers with no MOQ requirements.
A no-MOQ policy gives organizers greater flexibility to order according to their actual needs rather than being forced to purchase more medals than necessary.
For custom medal projects, this flexibility can make the entire purchasing process easier—from design and sampling to production and future reorders.
Experience matters when every medal needs to represent an important achievement.
Founded in 2007, Artigifts has more than 20 years of experience in custom metal gift manufacturing. Over the years, we have developed production expertise across a wide range of products, including:
Our long-term manufacturing experience helps our team understand both the creative and technical requirements of custom medal projects.
Artigifts is a manufacturer rather than simply a trading company.
Our factory integrates multiple production processes under one production system, including:
This integrated manufacturing structure gives customers better control over quality, communication, and production scheduling.
For B2B buyers, working directly with a manufacturer can also make it easier to manage complex customization projects and large-volume orders.
Every event is different.
A marathon may need a city landmark medal, while a corporate event may require a branded award. A charity run may want a meaningful symbolic design.
Artigifts supports both OEM and ODM customization, allowing customers to develop medals based on their own artwork, logo, concept, or event theme.
Customization can include:
- ★ Shape
- ★ Size
- ★ Thickness
- ★ Metal finish
- ★ Colors
- ★ Enamel
- ★ 3D relief
- ★ Cut-out areas
- ★ Ribbons
- ★ Packaging
From a simple concept to a complex multi-layer medal, our team works with customers to turn ideas into manufacturable products.
Not every customer has a production-ready medal design.
Our design and engineering team can help transform an initial idea into a practical manufacturing solution.
We can assist with:
- ✓ Artwork development
- ✓ Design adjustments
- ✓ 3D mockups
- ✓ Structure optimization
- ✓ Color suggestions
- ✓ Production feasibility
Before production begins, customers can review the design and confirm important details.
This helps reduce misunderstandings and minimizes the risk of expensive changes after mold production starts.
Modern event medals are no longer limited to traditional round shapes.
Artigifts can manufacture medals in a wide variety of styles, including:
Shapes
- Round
- Shield
- Custom silhouette
- Logo-shaped
- Landmark-inspired
- Multi-layer designs
Finishes
- Gold
- Silver
- Bronze
- Antique gold
- Antique silver
- Black nickel
- Two-tone plating
Decoration
- Soft enamel
- Hard enamel
- UV printing
- Laser engraving
- Sandblasting
- 3D relief
This flexibility allows event organizers to create medals that match their visual identity.
For many marathon and sporting events, die cast medals are an ideal solution.
Die casting allows manufacturers to create:
- Deep 3D relief
- Fine details
- Complex textures
- Custom shapes
- Layered structures
- Strong visual depth
This makes die cast medals particularly suitable for premium marathon events, anniversary races, championships, and large-scale sporting competitions.
The combination of detailed design and substantial metal feel can make a finisher medal much more memorable.
Event organizers often work with strict deadlines.
A medal supplier needs to understand that missing the delivery date can affect the entire event experience.
At Artigifts, our typical production capabilities include:
- ► Sample production: 3–5 days
- ► Standard bulk production: 7–15 days
- ► Rush production: approximately 5–7 days for suitable projects
Actual lead time depends on the medal design, quantity, production technique, finishing requirements, and order schedule.
For urgent events, our team can evaluate the project and recommend an appropriate production and shipping plan.
Large sporting events can require thousands—or even tens of thousands—of medals.
A supplier needs sufficient production capacity to maintain consistency across the entire order.
Artigifts has a large manufacturing facility and multiple production processes to support high-volume custom orders.
Our production system is designed to handle bulk requirements while maintaining consistency in:
- ✔ Medal dimensions
- ✔ Plating
- ✔ Colors
- ✔ Enamel filling
- ✔ Surface finish
- ✔ Logo details
For recurring events, stable production capability is particularly important because organizers need reliable quality from one event edition to the next.
A beautiful design is only valuable if the finished medals meet the required standard.
Quality control is carried out throughout the manufacturing process.
Our inspection process can cover:
- Dimensions
- Weight
- Metal structure
- Surface finish
- Plating consistency
- Color accuracy
- Enamel quality
- Logo and text details
- Ribbon attachment
- Packaging
For large orders, maintaining batch-to-batch consistency is especially important.
Every medal represents the event organizer's brand, so product quality is an essential part of the service.
- Sports events
- Marathons
- Running competitions
- Schools
- Corporate events
- Promotional campaigns
- Commemorative programs
We also support international shipping and export coordination, helping customers manage the process from factory production to final delivery.
For overseas buyers, having a manufacturer familiar with international B2B requirements can simplify communication and logistics.
For event organizers, choosing a custom medal manufacturer is not simply about finding someone who can produce metal products.
The right partner should be able to support the entire project.
At Artigifts, our service covers:
Idea → Design → Prototype → Mold → Production → Finishing → QC → Packaging → Delivery
This one-stop approach helps event organizers reduce the number of suppliers involved in a project and makes communication easier.

That is why choosing the right manufacturer matters.
