School Sport-Day Stocking: This Is the Last Safe Order Window 🏫
Thai school sport days happen mid-March through end-April. The factories quoting 5-day turnaround this week will quote 14-day in April. The decision compounds — this is the week to confirm.

Numbers You Need This Week
For a typical 800-student school: ~250 medals (gold/silver/bronze across 6 sport categories), ~50m of ribbon in two colors, and 30 generic 'Participation' medals as buffer. Total stock value: ฿18,000-22,000. Order Monday, receive by next Friday, proof samples Saturday — exactly the cadence that prevents the panic of the last 48 hours.
Skip Engraving for Mass Participation
Engraving every student name doubles lead time and triples per-medal cost. For mass-participation medals, leave the back blank and add a generic 'Sport Day 2022 — [School Name]' to the front die. Saves 7 days and ฿15/medal across 200 units. Reserve engraving budget for the top 3 placings per event.
