What is the 2" Radiance Medal Sample Set?

2" Radiance Medal Sample Set (RDSETA1): a medal where Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish does most of the work. It measures 2".

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.

Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $72.45 each at 1-11, $44.92 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
  • Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • 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.

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. An imprint area of 1.65 in x 1.24 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At $72.45 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.

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. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.

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. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $72.45 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.

What do buyers ask about RDSETA1?

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 13 of RDSETA1 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.

What does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $57.96 a piece. The published ladder on RDSETA1 runs from $72.45 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.92 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 is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on RDSETA1. 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 RDSETA1 is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

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 you work to a fixed in-hand date?

Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. RDSETA1 sells from a single unit at $72.45, 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 is the minimum order for RDSETA1?

RDSETA1 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on RDSETA1 runs from $72.45 a piece at 1-11 down to $44.92 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on RDSETA1 is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
