What is the Torch Starbrite Medal-Gold, 2 3/4"?

Catalogued as SB258G, this medal sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 2 3/4". This is the gold colorway.

Worth knowing before you order: 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.

Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches.

This sits in the giveaway tier, where the job is reach: enough units to hand one to everyone who walks past the table, at a cost per impression low enough that nobody has to justify it line by line. Concretely: $3.60 each at 1-11, $2.23 at 500+.

Decoration options

The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

Die Struck

The design is struck into metal with a custom die. Crisp raised and recessed relief in solid metal.

Best for

Medals, coins and lapel pins.

Color

Printed Insert

A printed or sublimated disc is set into the recess of the piece. Full-color artwork inside a cast metal frame.

Best for

Medals and emblem holders where color is required.

Color

Full color.

Laser Engraving (back)

The reverse face is laser engraved. Personalization without disturbing the struck front face.

Best for

Medals with a standard front and individual backs.

Color

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.
  • Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
  • A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsSpecified regularly for races and tournaments. The imprint area at 1.65 in x 1.24 in is sized for exactly that job.
School achievementBuilt for school achievement. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.

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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. Down to $2.23 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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $3.60 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. An imprint area of 1.65 in x 1.24 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

What do buyers ask about SB258G?

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 SB258G runs from $3.60 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.23 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

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 SB258G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.

How should this be cared for?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. SB258G measures 2 3/4" 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.

How long does production take?

Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. 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 more than 1,000 of SB258G 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 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 does it actually cost at quantity?

Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $2.88 a piece. The published ladder on SB258G runs from $3.60 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.23 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 SB258G?

SB258G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SB258G runs from $3.60 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.23 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SB258G is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
