What is the 2 1/2" Antique Gold Victory Shooting Star Medal?

2 1/2" Antique Gold Victory Shooting Star Medal. A medal in zinc alloy, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 2 1/2". This is the gold colorway.

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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. The two together are why this item re-orders.

At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $5.67 each at 1-11, $3.52 at 500+.

Decoration options

The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1.5 in x 1.13 in.

Die Struck

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.

Best for

Medals, coins and lapel pins.

Color

Metal finish, optionally enamel-filled.

Printed Insert

A printed or sublimated disc is set into the recess of the piece. Full-color artwork inside a cast metal frame.

Best for

Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Color

Full color.

Laser Engraving (back)

The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.

Best for

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.

Color

Substrate color.

Artwork requirements

  • Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
  • 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.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsRaces and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
School achievementBuilt for school achievement. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Participation recognitionParticipation recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.

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

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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

2

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

3

Education, Schools & Universities

Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Down to $3.52 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

4

Government, Military & First Responders

This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

What do buyers ask about ST64G?

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 ST64G runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What happens if something arrives damaged?

We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows 343 of ST64G 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 get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. ST64G sells from a single unit at $5.67, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.

How is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on ST64G. 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 ST64G is 1.5 in x 1.13 in.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. ST64G measures 2 1/2" 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?

Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on ST64G runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What is the minimum order for ST64G?

ST64G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on ST64G runs from $5.67 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.52 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on ST64G is 1.5 in x 1.13 in.
