What is the 2" Antique Gold 2nd Place High Relief Medal?

The 2" Antique Gold 2nd Place High Relief Medal is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 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.

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

Giveaway pricing, which changes how you should think about quantity. Running short at a booth costs more in missed conversations than the extra units would have cost to print. Concretely: $3.15 each at 1-11, $1.95 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
  • Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
  • Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsBuilt for races and tournaments. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to 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 1.2 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.

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. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

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. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Volume is the point at $3.15; nobody is auditing this line item.

3

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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

4

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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

What do buyers ask about HR802G?

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 1.2 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.

What does it actually cost at quantity?

The published ladder on HR802G runs from $3.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.95 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. HR802G measures 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.

How is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on HR802G. 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 HR802G is 1.2 in x 1 in.

What happens if something arrives damaged?

Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. HR802G sells from a single unit at $3.15, 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.

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.

What is the minimum order for HR802G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on HR802G. 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 HR802G runs from $3.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.95 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

  • Ground freight is free from 96 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.

  • At 50 pieces this costs less than 90% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition.
