Songkran 2017 Sport Festival Awards: Lock Orders Before April 3 💦

Songkran sport festivals across Thailand — community Muay Thai, longboat racing, sepak takraw — all need ribbons and medals delivered by April 12. Three weeks out is the last safe window for any custom work.

Stock Designs Beat Custom for April

Custom dies need 14-21 days. With Songkran approaching, that window is closed unless you confirmed in February. Switch to stock medal blanks with a custom-engraved center disc — same brand presence, 5-day turnaround. RS Trophy holds round, hexagonal, and star-shaped blanks ready for next-week pickup.

Water-Resistant Finish Matters

Songkran events are wet. Standard nickel plating handles a splash, but extended water contact will haze the finish in days. Ask for a clear epoxy top-coat (~฿3/unit upcharge) or specify stainless-steel core medals for outdoor water-adjacent events. The epoxy coat also blocks the cheap-plating smell that ruins close-up photos.
