What is the 2nd Place Starbrite Medal (Silver only), 2"?
The 2nd Place Starbrite Medal (Silver only), 2" is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. 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.
This is table-stock: priced to be handed out freely. The metric that matters is how many you can put into circulation, not what each one felt like to give. Concretely: $1.95 each at 1-11, $1.21 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

Common uses
Races and tournamentsWorks well for races and tournaments, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
School achievementWorks well for school achievement, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Volume is the point at $1.95; nobody is auditing this line item.
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. An imprint area of 1.2 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
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. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
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. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

What do buyers ask about SB163?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SB163 is 1.2 in x 1 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.
How is this decorated?
We run die struck on SB163 as standard. 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 SB163 is 1.2 in x 1 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 SB163 runs from $1.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.21 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. SB163 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of SB163 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.
What is the minimum order for SB163?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SB163. 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 SB163 runs from $1.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.21 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
