How To Order Custom Trophies and Medals

Custom trophies and medals are often given as recognition for great accomplishments, and later serve as a proof of merit. Medals are commonly given as scholastic tokens to students who excel in class while trophies are awarded in sporting events like boat racing, hunting, ball-games, and in other competitions.

Since these two are essential for recognizing one’s achievements, here are the steps on how to order your custom trophies and medals:

1.    Choose trophy and medal style. You may select from the varieties of styles available.

• Custom trophies are made of wood, metal, fiberglass, crystal, resin, and marble bases. These can take the shape of effigies of people, mugs, a two-handled cup, bowls, animals, and architecture usually engraved with words, numbers or images. Heights of trophies vary from small and medium to large.
• Medals are of the die-cast or insert type. These can be in bronze, silver or gold, with either refined or antique finished. Custom medal orders come with colored neck ribbons for free. The name of your school or logo can be imprinted on your own special ribbon. Medals come in small, medium or large sizes.

2.    Design your medal. After choosing the style of your trophy or medal, you now think of the design you would want to see in your custom trophies or medals. You can add your school, company, organization or sport logo and you carve the name of the recipient of the award.

3.    Send your order. For your convenience you may send your order through email or via post enclosing the following information:

• Trophy or medal style (to clearly show your design include a PDF, JPEG or EPS file illustrating your design)
• Trophy or medal size (height and width; diameter and thickness)
• Quantity required (number of items to be purchased)
• Trophy or medal finish (can be mixed)
• Ribbon color(s) for medals
• Optional extras (if required)
• Event facts
• Compelling date (please take into account the minimum lead-time)
• Contact details
• Delivery address
• Invoicing address

4.    Proof Artwork. Once you have sent your order, a pre-production proof of your design will be sent to you. Once it has been approved and “signed off” by you, the production of your trophies or medals will commence. Production of medals involves producing a die for each designed side of your medal, while trophies include the making of mold.

5.    Delivery. This is the last step of the process. After all the trophies and medals have been produced by the given target time, they will be delivered to your given address.

Now that you know how to order custom trophies and medals it will be easy for you to purchase them, because trophies and medals are not merely signs of triumph or excellence. The legacy that comes with the trophies or medals will be relished forever by the people who have earned such recognition.
