What is the 2" Insert Holder Medal-Silver/Black (Insert Not Included)?
2" Insert Holder Medal-Silver/Black (Insert Not Included) (HR951S): a medal where Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish does most of the work. It measures 2 3/4". This is the silver colorway, one of 2 in the range.
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.
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: $4.55 each at 1-11, $2.82 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.
- 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.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Races and tournamentsSpecified regularly for races and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.65 in x 1.24 in is sized for exactly that job.
School achievementSchool achievement is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
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. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
2
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. An imprint area of 1.65 in x 1.24 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
3
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. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
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. 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. Down to $2.82 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

What do buyers ask about HR951S?
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes. HR951S runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of HR951S 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.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. HR951S measures 2 3/4" 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 get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. HR951S sells from a single unit at $4.55, 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on HR951S is 1.65 in x 1.24 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on HR951S is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
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 is the minimum order for HR951S?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on HR951S. 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 HR951S runs from $4.55 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.82 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
