What is the Torch Starbrite Medal-Silver, 2 3/4"?
This is a medal in zinc alloy. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 2 3/4". This is the silver colorway.
In practice: 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.
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.

Best for
Medals, coins and lapel pins.
Color
Metal finish, optionally enamel-filled.
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.

Best for
Medals with a standard front and individual backs.
Color
Substrate color.
Artwork requirements
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.

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
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Artwork is struck into the die, or applied as a printed or sublimated insert set into the recess. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
2
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. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Down to $2.23 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
3
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. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
4
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. Die casting captures far finer relief detail than stamping, so medals and heavier emblem pieces are cast rather than pressed. At $3.60 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

What do buyers ask about SB258S?
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.
How is this decorated?
Die Struck is the primary method on SB258S. 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 SB258S is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on SB258S runs from $3.60 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.23 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.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which cut through plating. SB258S 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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of SB258S 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 SB258S is 1.65 in x 1.24 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 is the minimum order for SB258S?
SB258S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SB258S 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 SB258S is 1.65 in x 1.24 in.
