What is the Science BriteLazer Medal-Bronze?
The Science BriteLazer Medal-Bronze 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 bronze 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.
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: $2.85 each at 1-11, $1.77 at 500+.

Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.

Common uses
Races and tournamentsA natural fit for races and tournaments, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
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.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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. 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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Down to $1.77 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
2
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 medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
3
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. At $2.85 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
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. 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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

What do buyers ask about BL317B?
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 549 of BL317B 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. BL317B 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BL317B 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.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. BL317B measures 2" 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.
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 BL317B 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 BL317B?
BL317B can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BL317B 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 BL317B is 1.2 in x 1 in.
