What is the Spelling Ten Star Medal-Bronze, 2"?
Item SS514B is a medal in zinc alloy, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. 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. The two together are why this item re-orders.
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: $1.80 each at 1-11, $1.12 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- 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.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |

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. 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. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
2
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Student-facing items live rough. They go in backpacks, get left outdoors and are rarely cleaned, so durability matters more than finish. Faculty and donor gifting is the opposite problem and deserves an entirely separate specification. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.
3
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Down to $1.12 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

What do buyers ask about SS514B?
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 SS514B runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. SS514B 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 SS514B runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on SS514B. 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 SS514B is 1.2 in x 1 in.
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 SS514B is 1.2 in x 1 in.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SS514B 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.
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 is the minimum order for SS514B?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SS514B. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on SS514B runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
