What is the 2nd Place Radiance Medal - Silver?
The 2nd Place Radiance Medal - Silver is what most buyers mean when they ask for a medal that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 2 3/4". This is the silver 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. On this substrate specifically: artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
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: $5.75 each at 1-11, $3.57 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- 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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.

Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.

Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
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. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
2
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
3
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. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Down to $3.57 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
4
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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

What do buyers ask about RD466?
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on RD466. 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 RD466 is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. RD466 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. RD466 sells from a single unit at $5.75, 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 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 RD466 runs from $5.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.57 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 RD466 runs from $5.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.57 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of RD466 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 happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
What is the minimum order for RD466?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on RD466. 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 RD466 runs from $5.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.57 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
