What is the 2 3/4" Laserable Gold Medal?

The 2 3/4" Laserable Gold Medal is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 2 3/4". 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: $5.10 each at 1-11, $3.16 at 500+.

Color

Substrate color.

Artwork requirements

  • Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
  • A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
  • Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.

School achievementWorks well for school achievement, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Participation recognitionParticipation recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.

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

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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. At $5.10 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

2

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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

3

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. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

4

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. Volume is the point at $5.10; nobody is auditing this line item.

What do buyers ask about LMD301G?

Is there a setup charge?

No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.

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 LMD301G runs from $5.10 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What artwork do you need from me?

Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 1.65 in x 1.24 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.

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.

Do you ship to multiple addresses?

Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. LMD301G sells from a single unit at $5.10, 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.

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 LMD301G runs from $5.10 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What is the minimum order for LMD301G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on LMD301G. 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 LMD301G runs from $5.10 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.16 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

  • Ground freight is free from 48 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
