What is the Lamp of Knowledge Shooting Star Medal-Silver, 1 3/4"?
The Lamp of Knowledge Shooting Star Medal-Silver, 1 3/4" is what most buyers mean when they ask for a medal that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 1 3/4". This is the silver colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: 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. The two together are why this item re-orders.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $3.80 each at 1-11, $2.36 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 1.05 in x 1 in.

Best for

Best for
Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- 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.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.

Common uses
Races and tournamentsRaces and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
School achievementBuilt for school achievement. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Participation recognitionWorks well for participation recognition, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
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
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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
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. 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. Volume is the point at $3.80; nobody is auditing this line item.
3
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
4
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. An imprint area of 1.05 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

What do buyers ask about ST18S?
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on ST18S. 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 ST18S is 1.05 in x 1 in.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 597 of ST18S 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 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 ST18S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What does it actually cost at quantity?

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.
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 ST18S is 1.05 in x 1 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.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for ST18S?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on ST18S. 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 ST18S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
