What is the Gold Metal Cup-13 1/4"?

Item CMC304G is a trophy cup in zinc alloy, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 13 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. 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.

At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $110.00 each at 1-11, $68.20 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 1.2 in x 5 in.

Die Struck

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.

Best for

Medals, coins and lapel pins.

Color

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.

Best for

Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Color

Full color.

Laser Engraving (back)

The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.

Best for

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.

Color

Substrate color.

Artwork requirements

  • Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
  • Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
  • 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.
  • Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
  • Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
  • A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.

Common uses

Championships and tournamentsSpecified regularly for championships and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 5 in is sized for exactly that job.
Annual perpetual awardsAnnual perpetual awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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. 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. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.

2

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. $110.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.

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. 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. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.

4

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. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.

What do buyers ask about CMC304G?

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.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. CMC304G measures 13 1/4" 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.

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.

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 CMC304G runs from $110.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $68.20 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

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 does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $88.00 a piece. The published ladder on CMC304G runs from $110.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $68.20 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.

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 CMC304G is 1.2 in x 5 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 CMC304G?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on CMC304G. 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 CMC304G runs from $110.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $68.20 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 21% 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.
