What is the Drama Ten Star Medal-Gold?
A working medal. Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 2 1/4". This is the 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.
Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches.
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+.

Best for
Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Best for
Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- 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.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |

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. 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. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
2
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. An imprint area of 1.35 in x 1.01 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Volume is the point at $4.15; nobody is auditing this line item.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

What do buyers ask about TS503G?
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.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on TS503G. 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 TS503G is 1.35 in x 1.01 in.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on TS503G is 1.35 in x 1.01 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.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. TS503G 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.
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.
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 TS503G is 1.35 in x 1.01 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 TS503G?
TS503G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on TS503G 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 TS503G is 1.35 in x 1.01 in.
