What is the Cheer Shooting Star Medal-Gold, 2 1/2"?

A resin medal, catalogued here as ST69G. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 2 1/2". This is the gold colorway.

Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.

Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.

At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $6.00 each at 1-11, $3.72 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
  • 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.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsBuilt for races and tournaments. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
School achievementWorks well for school achievement, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Participation recognitionSpecified regularly for participation recognition. The imprint area at 1.5 in x 1.13 in is sized for exactly that job.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
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

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. Down to $3.72 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

2

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. Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.

3

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 $6.00 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

4

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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

What do buyers ask about ST69G?

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. ST69G sells from a single unit at $6.00, 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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on ST69G is 1.5 in x 1.13 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 laser engraving (plate) on ST69G as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on ST69G is 1.5 in x 1.13 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 ST69G runs from $6.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.72 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

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.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of ST69G 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 artwork do you need from me?

Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on ST69G is 1.5 in x 1.13 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.

What is the minimum order for ST69G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on ST69G. 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 ST69G runs from $6.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.72 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
