What is the 2nd Place MidNite Star Medal (Silver only)?

2nd Place MidNite Star Medal (Silver only). A medal in zinc alloy, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 2". This is the silver colorway.

In practice: 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.

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: $4.80 each at 1-11, $2.98 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 1.2 in x 1 in.

Color

Substrate color.

Artwork requirements

  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
  • Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
  • Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsSpecified regularly for races and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
School achievementSchool achievement is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Participation recognitionBuilt for participation recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
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

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. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

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. Volume is the point at $4.80; nobody is auditing this line item.

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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

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. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

What do buyers ask about MS714S?

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.

Can I see a proof before you produce the order?

Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

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 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 MS714S runs from $4.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.98 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of MS714S 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 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.

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. MS714S sells from a single unit at $4.80, 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 MS714S?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on MS714S. 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 MS714S runs from $4.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.98 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
