What is the Gold/Silver Metal Cup-8"?
Item CMC152 is a trophy cup in zinc alloy, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 8". This is the gold colorway, one of 2 in the range.
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.
Gift tier. The economics stop being about impressions and start being about the specific relationships you spend it on. Concretely: $20.50 each at 1-11, $12.71 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- 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.
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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $20.50 before breaks puts this above hand-out territory. Use it that way.
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. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. Reserve this for the shortlist and the response changes noticeably.
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Personalise it. At this tier a name is what makes it land.
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. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Too good to scatter. Pick the recipients deliberately.

What do buyers ask about CMC152?
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on CMC152. 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 CMC152 is 2.4 in x 4 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 2.4 in x 4 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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. CMC152 runs in 2 colors and they combine for pricing, as long as the artwork does not change between them. 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+.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
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 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 is the minimum order for CMC152?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CMC152. 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 CMC152 runs from $20.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.71 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
