What is the 3rd Place Ten Star Medal (Bronze Only)?
The 3rd Place Ten Star Medal (Bronze Only) is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 2 1/4". This is the bronze 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. 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 sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $4.15 each at 1-11, $2.57 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 1.35 in x 1.01 in.
Die Struck
The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.
Best for
Medals, coins and lapel pins.
Color
Metal finish, optionally enamel-filled.
Printed Insert
A printed or sublimated disc is set into the recess of the piece. Full-color artwork inside a cast metal frame.
Best for
Medals and emblem holders where color is required.
Color
Full color.
Laser Engraving (back)
The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.
Best for
Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses
Races and tournamentsRaces and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
School achievementSchool achievement is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Participation recognitionWorks well for participation recognition, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
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
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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
2
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
3
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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
4
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Awards are read as a hierarchy whether or not you intended one. If the participation piece and the champion piece look similar, the champion feels short-changed, and that is remembered longer than the result. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Down to $2.57 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

What do buyers ask about TS422B?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of TS422B 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. TS422B sells from a single unit at $4.15, 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $3.32 a piece. The published ladder on TS422B runs from $4.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.57 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.
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 TS422B is 1.35 in x 1.01 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.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What is the minimum order for TS422B?
TS422B can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on TS422B runs from $4.15 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.57 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on TS422B is 1.35 in x 1.01 in.
