What is the Volleyball Shooting Star Medal-Bronze, 2 1/2"?

Volleyball Shooting Star Medal-Bronze, 2 1/2". A medal in resin, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 2 1/2". This is the bronze 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. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.

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.

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: $6.00 each at 1-11, $3.72 at 500+.

Artwork requirements

  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
  • If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
  • Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
  • Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsWorks well for races and tournaments, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
School achievementWorks well for school achievement, where the medal format does what a printed handout cannot.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.

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. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. 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. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. 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. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. An imprint area of 1.5 in x 1.13 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. 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. 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. Down to $3.72 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.

What do buyers ask about ST72B?

Can I get a sample before committing?

Yes: order one piece. ST72B sells from a single unit at $6.00, 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.

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.

What artwork do you need from me?

Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on ST72B is 1.5 in x 1.13 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.

What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on ST72B is 1.5 in x 1.13 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.

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 ST72B runs from $6.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.72 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?

Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

How is this decorated?

Laser Engraving (plate) is the primary method on ST72B. The engraving plate is lasered, then fitted to the award. 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 ST72B is 1.5 in x 1.13 in.

What is the minimum order for ST72B?

There is no minimum beyond one piece on ST72B. 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 ST72B runs from $6.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $3.72 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
