What is the Music Shooting Star Medal-Silver, 1 3/4"?
This is a medal in zinc alloy. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 1 3/4". This is the silver 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.
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.
Treat this as reach inventory. The point of the tier is that you can put one in every hand at an event without the total ever becoming a conversation with finance. Concretely: $3.80 each at 1-11, $2.36 at 500+.

Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- 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.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.

Common uses
Races and tournamentsSpecified regularly for races and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.05 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
School achievementSpecified regularly for school achievement. The imprint area at 1.05 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
Participation recognitionBuilt for participation recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
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
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. Down to $2.36 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
2
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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
3
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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. At $3.80 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
4
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |

| Proofing | Digital proof within 1 business day; production begins on written approval |
| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about ST16S?
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?
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 1.05 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. ST16S measures 1 3/4" and is made of zinc alloy. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $3.04 a piece. The published ladder on ST16S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 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.
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.
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 ST16S is 1.05 in x 1 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 ST16S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for ST16S?
ST16S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on ST16S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on ST16S is 1.05 in x 1 in.
