What is the 1 3/4" & 2 1/2" Shooting Star Medal Display Set?

The 1 3/4" & 2 1/2" Shooting Star Medal Display Set is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 16" x 20".

Worth knowing before you order: die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Plating then sets the finish. Gold, silver or bronze.

Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. On this substrate specifically: artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.

The piece stays on a desk for years, which is the whole return. Choose recipients the way you would choose who to take to dinner. Concretely: $94.20 each at 1-11, $58.40 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
  • Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
  • A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsRaces and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
School achievementA natural fit for school achievement, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Participation recognitionSpecified regularly for participation recognition. The imprint area at 4 in x 4 in is sized for exactly that job.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.

Where this works best

The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.

1

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.

2

Education, Schools & Universities

Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

3

Government, Military & First Responders

This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. $94.20 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.

4

Nonprofit & Fundraising

Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.

What do buyers ask about STSET4?

Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?

Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

What does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $75.36 a piece. The published ladder on STSET4 runs from $94.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $58.40 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. STSET4 measures 16" x 20" and is made of zinc alloy. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed.

Can I order more later and have them match?

Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows 4 of STSET4 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?

Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on STSET4 runs from $94.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $58.40 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

How is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on STSET4. The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal. We can also run Printed Insert and Laser Engraving (back) on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on STSET4 is 4 in x 4 in.

What is the minimum order for STSET4?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on STSET4. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on STSET4 runs from $94.20 a piece at 1-11 down to $58.40 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

  • Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
  • The personalization area is 4 in by 4 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
  • At 50 pieces this costs less than 25% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
