What is the Inspirational 2" Insert Holder Medal-Antique Gold (Insert Not Included)?
Catalogued as HR944G, this medal sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 2 3/4". This is the gold colorway.
In practice: 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.
Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
This is table-stock: priced to be handed out freely. The metric that matters is how many you can put into circulation, not what each one felt like to give. Concretely: $5.50 each at 1-11, $3.41 at 500+.

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 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
Production schedule

Common uses
Races and tournamentsWorks well for races and tournaments, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
School achievementBuilt for school achievement. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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
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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Volume is the point at $5.50; nobody is auditing this line item.
2
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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
4
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. An imprint area of 1.65 in x 1.24 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.

What do buyers ask about HR944G?
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 HR944G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on HR944G runs from $5.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.41 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on HR944G is 1.65 in x 1.24 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of HR944G 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. HR944G sells from a single unit at $5.50, 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.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on HR944G. 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 HR944G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
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 HR944G runs from $5.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.41 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for HR944G?
HR944G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on HR944G runs from $5.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.41 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on HR944G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
