What is the Reading BriteLazer Medal-Gold?
The Reading BriteLazer Medal-Gold is what most buyers mean when they ask for a medal that will not look cheap in six months. It measures 2". This is the gold 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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches.
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: $2.85 each at 1-11, $1.77 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |

Common uses
Races and tournamentsWorks well for races and tournaments, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
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.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Down to $1.77 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
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. An imprint area of 1.2 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
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. At $2.85 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
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. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

What do buyers ask about BL315G?
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 BL315G runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
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 BL315G 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BL315G 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.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on BL315G. 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 BL315G is 1.2 in x 1 in.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on BL315G runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BL315G sells from a single unit at $2.85, 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.
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 BL315G runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for BL315G?
BL315G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BL315G runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BL315G is 1.2 in x 1 in.
