How to Create Custom Medals with Ease: Your Ultimate Guide 🏅✨

Custom medals are powerful symbols of achievement, recognition, and celebration. Whether you're honoring sports victories, academic achievements, or corporate milestones, custom medals offer a tangible way to commemorate success. The best part? You can create meaningful, personalized medals that perfectly reflect your brand or event’s identity!

At Yourstuffmade.com, we're proud to offer ethically manufactured, B Corp certified custom medals, ensuring your awards are created with sustainability and social responsibility in mind 🌍. Ready to design your own? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process effortlessly:

---

Step 1: Determine Your Quantity 🎯

The first step is deciding how many custom medals you need. Whether you're organizing a small-scale ceremony or a large event, we offer flexible quantity options to suit your needs. From individual orders to bulk quantities, we’ve got you covered!

---

Step 2: Choose Your Enamel Type 🎨

Now comes the fun part—selecting the enamel type for your medals. Each type offers a unique finish and visual appeal, so let’s dive into the differences:

Hard Enamel

• Smooth, polished finish that gives your medal a clean, sleek look.
• Durable and scratch-resistant, perfect for long-term keepsakes.
• Ideal for high-end awards and designs that demand perfection.

Soft Enamel

• Provides a textured, dimensional look, creating depth between the metal and enamel.
• Has a classic, handcrafted appearance, adding a bit of artistry to your design.
• Great for vibrant, colorful medals with intricate designs that require a standout texture.

Die Struck

• No enamel fill, showcasing the natural shine and texture of the metal.
• Offers a sophisticated and elegant finish, ideal for those who prefer a minimalist and premium look.
• Best for designs that focus on metalwork and intricate detailing.

Pro Tip: If you're unsure which enamel type suits your vision best, we're here to guide you!

Step 3: Select the Thickness 📏

Next, choose the thickness of your medals. The thickness of your medal can influence both its weight and feel, adding to its overall perceived value.

• Thicker medals (e.g., 3mm or more) offer a heftier feel and greater visual impact—ideal for prestigious events.
• Thinner medals (e.g., 1.5-2mm) are more lightweight and versatile, making them perfect for everyday recognition or budget-friendly options.

Pro Tip: Think about the purpose of the medal when deciding on thickness. Heavier medals might be more appropriate for prestigious awards, while lighter ones work well for casual events or giveaways.

---

Step 4: Decide on the Size 🔍

Custom medals come in a variety of sizes, and the size you choose can enhance the detail and overall aesthetic of your design:

• Small Medals: Ideal for subtle elegance, these are great for minimalist designs or understated awards.
• Large Medals: Perfect for showcasing intricate details and making a bold statement at major events.

Common sizes include:

• 50mm for compact and delicate designs.
• 70mm or larger for bold, standout pieces.

---

Step 5: Pick Your Ribbon or Lanyard 🎗️

The final touch for your custom medal is selecting the ribbon or lanyard. This adds both style and functionality to your medals, ensuring they are easy to wear and visually cohesive.

Ribbon Options:

Satin Ribbons: Soft and smooth, offering a luxurious feel.

Grosgrain Ribbons: Textured and durable, great for a professional look.

Woven Ribbons: Perfect for intricate designs and strong branding.

Lanyard Options:

• For wearable medals, lanyards provide comfort and convenience, ensuring your medal is displayed proudly.

Choose from an array of colors to match your branding or event theme. A personalized ribbon or lanyard can make your medal feel truly special and cohesive.
