What is the Science BriteLazer Medal-Silver?
This is a medal in zinc alloy. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 2". 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. 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: $2.85 each at 1-11, $1.77 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.

Common uses
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.
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
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. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
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 this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Down to $1.77 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

What do buyers ask about BL317S?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 658 of BL317S 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $2.28 a piece. The published ladder on BL317S runs from $2.85 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.77 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.
How is this decorated?
We run die struck on BL317S as standard. 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 BL317S is 1.2 in x 1 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 1.2 in x 1 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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.
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 BL317S 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 BL317S?
BL317S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BL317S 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 BL317S is 1.2 in x 1 in.
