What is the 6-Star 2" Insert Holder Medal-Bright Gold (Insert Not Included)?

The 6-Star 2" Insert Holder Medal-Bright Gold (Insert Not Included) is a medal built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 2 3/4". This is the bright gold 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: $3.75 each at 1-11, $2.33 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 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.

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.
  • A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsSpecified regularly for races and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.65 in x 1.24 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.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.

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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. At $3.75 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

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. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

What do buyers ask about HR950G?

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.

How is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on HR950G. 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 HR950G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on HR950G is 1.65 in x 1.24 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 long does production take?

Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.

What does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $3.00 a piece. The published ladder on HR950G runs from $3.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.33 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.

What happens if something arrives damaged?

Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of HR950G 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 is the minimum order for HR950G?

HR950G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on HR950G runs from $3.75 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.33 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on HR950G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
