What is the Gold Metal Cup-12", Style CMC303G?
This is a trophy cup in zinc alloy. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 12". 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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
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. The two together are why this item re-orders.
Executive tier, where individual personalization is expected rather than optional. Budget it against specific relationships, not against a headcount. Concretely: $86.00 each at 1-11, $53.32 at 500+.

Decoration options

Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.

Common uses
Championships and tournamentsChampionships and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Annual perpetual awardsBuilt for annual perpetual awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
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
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
2
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
3
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. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Even at volume it holds $53.32, which tells you what tier this is.
4
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. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

What do buyers ask about CMC303G?
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 CMC303G is 1.2 in x 5 in.
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.
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 1.2 in x 5 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on CMC303G runs from $86.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $53.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on CMC303G. 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 CMC303G is 1.2 in x 5 in.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. CMC303G measures 12" 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.
What is the minimum order for CMC303G?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CMC303G. 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 CMC303G runs from $86.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $53.32 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.2 in by 5 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 28% of the 3,730 other priced items in Awards & Recognition. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
