Need Custom Tournament Medals Without Losing Control of the Budget?
Custom medals do not need unnecessary processes to look distinctive.

For this Ohio volleyball tournament project, we used one mold for both the gold and silver versions. A practical 3 mm thickness, soft enamel colors and an integrated ribbon opening helped control production costs while keeping the design fully customized.

Need Custom Medals Without Losing the Details in Your Design?
Detailed race artwork often looks great on a screen but becomes difficult to reproduce on a small metal medal.

For this 10K and fun run project, the original design included several runners, facial details, clothing, lettering, boxing gloves and multiple color areas.

Our team adjusted the artwork before production. We widened narrow lines, separated the enamel colors with raised metal borders and checked the relief through a 3D mold preview.

This allowed us to preserve the main identity of the design while making it suitable for bulk manufacturing.

We produced 150 pieces for the original order. After delivery, the customer returned for another 70 medals.

What Happens After a Custom Medal Design Is Approved?
Once the customer approved this football medal design, the real factory work began.

The zinc alloy was die-cast into the custom crest shape. Each medal was polished, plated in bright gold and filled with black, white and yellow enamel. The backs received a sand-textured finish with the words “YOU LEGEND,” and the finished medals were assembled with custom printed ribbons.

Before packing, our team checked the enamel, plating, edges, lettering, ribbon direction and stitching.

The full order of 250 medals was then shipped by air to the UK.

This project shows the difference between simply displaying a medal and showing how it was actually made.

How We Produced These Antique Nickel Sports Medals
These custom medals were made for a swimming and running event in Tsarevo, Bulgaria.

The medal body was die-cast from zinc alloy using a custom mold. After deburring and polishing, each piece received antique nickel plating.

The darker recessed areas created depth, while the raised metal edges remained visible.

Blue soft enamel was added to the sports symbol and Cyrillic lettering. The irregular blue and yellow brush details were added through UV printing.

A custom heat-transfer ribbon completed the medal.

Before the order shipped, we sent the customer:

• The final production drawing
• Mold views
• A real ribbon sample
• A finished medal photo
• Production progress updates

The customer approved every important step and confirmed that the final order arrived perfectly.

Full case study and project details are in the first comment.

Real Project: Custom Pickleball Tournament Medals for PIKL Cup 2026
Here is a real custom medal project we completed for the PIKL Cup Summer Showdown 2026.

The customer supplied a bold graffiti-style event logo. Our job was to convert the design into a production-ready metal structure without losing the original energy of the artwork.

Several narrow gaps and brush-style edges needed small technical adjustments before mold engraving. Once the artwork was approved, we created the custom steel mold and produced the medals in gold, silver and red copper finishes.

The little golden snake hiding inside makes this piece so special. Would you expect this to be a fridge magnet?

Your event deserves more than an ordinary medal.

For participants, the medal is often the most important item they take home. It represents the training, the competition and the moment they crossed the finish line.

This custom medal was designed with a hinged architectural element, detailed metal relief, gold plating and navy-and-white enamel. The result is a medal with movement, depth and a strong visual identity.

We can customize the shape, size, plating, colors, ribbon, text and three-dimensional details to match your event branding.
