What is the Swimming Shooting Star Medal-Silver, 1 3/4"?
This is a medal in resin. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 1 3/4". This is the silver colorway.
In practice: 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. On this substrate specifically: decoration is applied to an engraving plate or a printed plate fitted to the base, not to the sculpt itself.
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: $3.80 each at 1-11, $2.36 at 500+.

Artwork requirements
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.

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. 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. An imprint area of 1.05 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Down to $2.36 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
2
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. 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. 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. At $3.80 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. 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. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
How does ordering and turnaround work?
| Minimum order | 1 piece |
|---|---|
| Setup | Free on every order, at any quantity |
| Freight | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
| Rush service | Rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before payment |
| Proofing | Proof back to you next business day, and nothing runs until you approve it |
| Re-orders | Artwork kept on file so re-orders run fast and match |
| Shipping | Free ground freight above $250, and we can split a run across individual addresses |
What do buyers ask about ST21S?
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $3.04 a piece. The published ladder on ST21S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 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.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. ST21S sells from a single unit at $3.80, 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.
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 ST21S is 1.05 in x 1 in.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 393 of ST21S 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 if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on ST21S is 1.05 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 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.
What is the minimum order for ST21S?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on ST21S. 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 ST21S runs from $3.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.36 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
See it with your logo first
Send us your artwork and we will produce a free digital proof of ST21S decorated with your mark. Usually within one business day, with no obligation and no account required.
