What is the Gold Metal Cup-23 1/2"?
A zinc alloy trophy cup, catalogued here as CMC939G. The substrate was picked for decoration quality first and appearance second, which is the right order. It measures 23 1/2". 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.
Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph.
This is the award the room looks at. It carries the weight of the moment, which is why it is priced as a single line rather than a run. Concretely: $647.00 each at 1-11, $401.14 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 5 in x 5 in.
Die Struck
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
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- 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
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.
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. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Guests keep what they can use and discard what merely commemorates. An item that works on an ordinary Tuesday will outlive the event by years; one that only makes sense on the day will not survive the drive home. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. At $647.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
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. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.

What do buyers ask about CMC939G?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CMC939G is 5 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CMC939G sells from a single unit at $647.00, 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.
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 CMC939G. 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 CMC939G is 5 in x 5 in.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 27 of CMC939G 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.
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?
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 is the minimum order for CMC939G?
CMC939G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CMC939G runs from $647.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $401.14 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CMC939G is 5 in x 5 in.
