What is the Music 3-D Medal-Silver?
A working medal. Die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 2". This is the silver 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. On this substrate specifically: artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
Giveaway pricing, which changes how you should think about quantity. Running short at a booth costs more in missed conversations than the extra units would have cost to print. Concretely: $4.50 each at 1-11, $2.79 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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- 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.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |

Common uses
Races and tournamentsRaces and tournaments is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
School achievementA natural fit for school achievement, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
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.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
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
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 1.2 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
2
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. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
3
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. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
4
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Down to $2.79 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | None: setup is built into the price |
| Freight | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
| Rush service | Rush available: tell us the date and we confirm it in writing before you pay |
| Proofing | One business day to proof, then production starts the moment you sign off |
| Re-orders | Re-orders run from the file you already approved |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about 3D305S?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on 3D305S is 1.2 in x 1 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.
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 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.
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 3D305S is 1.2 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 222 of 3D305S 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $3.60 a piece. The published ladder on 3D305S runs from $4.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.79 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.
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 3D305S is 1.2 in x 1 in.
What is the minimum order for 3D305S?
3D305S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on 3D305S runs from $4.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.79 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on 3D305S is 1.2 in x 1 in.
