What is the Star Performer 3-D Medal-Gold?
The Star Performer 3-D Medal-Gold is a medal built around Cast resin, hand-painted and finished. It measures 2". This is the gold colorway.
Casting is what allows shapes, figures, sport-specific sculpts, dimensional forms, that simply cannot be cut from crystal or metal at a comparable price. It is the reason resin dominates youth sport and participation awards.
Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. The two together are why this item re-orders.
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: $4.50 each at 1-11, $2.79 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- 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.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
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 |

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. 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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $4.50 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
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. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Volume is the point at $4.50; nobody is auditing this line item.

What do buyers ask about 3D311G?
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. 3D311G sells from a single unit at $4.50, 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.
How is this decorated?
We run laser engraving (plate) on 3D311G as standard. A permanent engraved plate on a cast body. We can also run UV Printing (plate) and Sublimated Plate on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on 3D311G 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on 3D311G runs from $4.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.79 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of 3D311G 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.
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.
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 3D311G runs from $4.50 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.79 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What is the minimum order for 3D311G?
