What is the Silver Metal Cup-23 1/2"?
This trophy cup is made from die-cast zinc alloy with a plated finish. It measures 23 1/2". 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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess.
Flagship recognition. The cost only makes sense against a milestone big enough that people will remember where they were standing. Concretely: $647.00 each at 1-11, $401.14 at 500+.

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.
Medals, coins and lapel pins.
Metal finish, optionally enamel-filled.
Printed Insert

Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |
|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |
| Production, rush | quoted per job, confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Transit by ground | 1 to 5 business days, by distance from the shipping point |
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.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. A cup is the most recognizable award form there is. It needs no explanation in a photograph. $647.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
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. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.
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. The trophy cup format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
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 piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.

| Re-orders | We keep the approved file, so a re-order reproduces it exactly |

What do buyers ask about CMC939S?
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 CMC939S runs from $647.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $401.14 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CMC939S sells from a single unit at $647.00, 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.
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.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. 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.
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 CMC939S is 5 in x 5 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.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. 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 $517.60 a piece. The published ladder on CMC939S runs from $647.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $401.14 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.
What is the minimum order for CMC939S?
CMC939S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CMC939S runs from $647.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $401.14 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CMC939S is 5 in x 5 in.
