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

A zinc alloy medal, catalogued here as HR935G. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. 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.

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: $4.80 each at 1-11, $2.98 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • 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.
  • Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
  • Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
  • We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

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 recognitionSpecified regularly for participation recognition. The imprint area at 1.65 in x 1.24 in is sized for exactly that job.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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.
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.

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. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

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 this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

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. Down to $2.98 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

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

What do buyers ask about HR935G?

What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on HR935G 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.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of HR935G 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.

How is this decorated?

Die Struck is the primary method on HR935G. 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 HR935G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

What artwork do you need from me?

Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 1.65 in x 1.24 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.

Do you ship to multiple addresses?

Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.

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 HR935G runs from $4.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.98 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What is the minimum order for HR935G?

HR935G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on HR935G runs from $4.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.98 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on HR935G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
