Get to know each type of medal — choose the right one for your event, beautifully and economically
A medal is more than something handed to the winner — it is a symbol of achievement and pride. Choosing the right material, design and budget for your event elevates the whole occasion.
Popular medal types
- Metal — the most popular: luxurious, strong and well-weighted, ideal for sports and corporate award ceremonies, with crisp engraved logos.
- Zinc / alloy — great value at a reasonable price while staying beautiful and durable; popular for marathons, school sports and large runs.
- Acrylic — modern design, lightweight, with crisp printing and budget-friendly; ideal for events and organisations.
How to choose a medal for your event
- Match the occasion — formal events suit premium metal or alloy; internal or community events suit value-focused options.
- Consider the number of recipients — large runs call for cost-effective materials that keep their quality.
- Match the design to the theme — custom designs add real value to a medal.
- Get the size and weight right — so recipients feel the value and can wear it comfortably.
Choosing medals for runs and marathons
- Finisher medals — a keepsake for everyone who crosses the line. Usually zinc alloy, which keeps the cost sane at scale while still taking full-face colour print or enamel.
- Design it to tell the story — distance, year, sponsor logos or a landmark from the route turn a giveaway into something people keep.
- Do not forget the lanyard — satin ribbon or a fully printed AdCard lanyard, matched to the event theme and ordered alongside the medals in one job.
- Leave enough runway — race medals are made in the thousands, and a new design needing a die takes longer than a repeat. Approve artwork as soon as registration closes.
