What is the Gold Metal Cup-10"?
The Gold Metal Cup-10" is a trophy cup built around Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 10". 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.
A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
At this level the piece is doing relationship work, not advertising work. Reserve it for named recipients, key clients, top performers, long-service milestones, and personalize it individually. Concretely: $59.00 each at 1-11, $36.58 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 3.6 in x 5 in.

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.
Medals, coins and lapel pins.
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.
Medals and emblem holders where color is required.
Full color.
Laser Engraving (back)
The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.
Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- 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.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
Production schedule

|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
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.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At $59.00 before breaks this is relationship work, not advertising.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

What do buyers ask about CMC202G?
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 CMC202G is 3.6 in x 5 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 3.6 in x 5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. CMC202G measures 10" and is made of zinc alloy. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CMC202G sells from a single unit at $59.00, 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.
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.
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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CMC202G is 3.6 in x 5 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.
What is the minimum order for CMC202G?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CMC202G. 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 CMC202G runs from $59.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $36.58 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
