1. What information do I need to provide to customize award medals?
You need to provide us with the design of the award medals. It can be hand-drawn or computer-generated.
Then, please tell us your desired size, thickness, and any accessories you have in mind.
With this information, we can provide quotations for the customized award medals.
2. What is the next step after confirming the price of the award medals?
When you confirm that the price of the award medal is acceptable, we will produce some manufactured artwork.
We will base these on your designs but adapt them according to the craftsmanship requirements.
If our designers are going to color the awards medals, they will mark them with the PMS numbers of each color.
We will also mark dimensions and some special craftsman requirements.
Award medal accessories include ribbons and safety pins.
3. What materials are used to make the award medals? What are the prices?
The most common materials for making award medals are zinc alloy, iron, copper, and stainless iron.
Zinc alloy is the most popular because it is lightweight and long-lasting. It won't rust, and it is affordable.
The iron material has size restrictions. The usual size is 25.4-60mm.
Bronze award medals are relatively expensive, and most often, bronze is used for challenge coins, badges, and award medals for the military.
If it is an ordinary sports event, copper is not recommended.
Stainless iron is usually used for printing award medals or lapel pins, but the regular thickness of stainless iron is 0.8-1.5MM.
If the customized awarded medal has a required weight, stainless iron material is unsuitable.
4. After confirming the manufacture artwork, can I see a sample award medal before mass production?
Yes.
We produce sample award medals, but the customer must pay the mold fee first. This means the mold fee will no longer be when you want to proceed with mass production.
If you want us to send the sample to your office, you must pay a shipping fee of about USD30-50 for 3-5 day delivery.
If you don't require the sample award medals in your hands, we will take photos for your approval. This means you won't need to pay the sample shipping fee.
5. What transport methods do you use? What information do we need to provide when receiving the goods? Will purchasing in China be problematic?
There are three modes of transportation: express (DHL, FedEx, TNT, UPS), by air to your nearest airport or your door, or by sea to your closest port or your door.
The most convenient of the express companies is DHL, both in terms of timeliness and service.
They are followed by FedEx and UPS in the United States and Canada, which are also relatively good. Shipping takes 4-6 days.
For air freight to your nearest airport or delivery to your door, we must first have enough weight to be cost-effective.
This takes 8-10 days but is cheaper than express delivery.
Shipping by boat to your nearest port or your door is also cost-effective if there is enough weight in your delivery, but the delivery takes a relatively long time, about 50-65 days.
6. What regulations do your factory have to ensure that each award medal is of high quality?
