Our Custom Medal Process & Craftsmanship

At Custom Medals UK, we combine advanced manufacturing techniques with skilled craftsmanship to produce high-quality bespoke medals. Every project goes through a precise and efficient process to ensure exceptional results, from concept to completion.

1. Design & Artwork Development

Our process begins with your idea. Whether you provide a sketch, logo, or concept, our design team transforms it into a professional digital artwork. We ensure every detail—from shape and size to colours and textures—is clearly defined before production begins.

  • Free design consultation
  • 2D & 3D mockups
  • Unlimited revisions (based on requirements)

2. Material Selection

We offer a wide range of materials to suit different styles and budgets:

  • Metal (zinc alloy, iron, brass)
  • Soft PVC (flexible rubber)
  • Wood (eco-friendly options)
  • Acrylic (modern and lightweight)

Each material provides a unique look and feel, ensuring your medals match the purpose of your event.

3. Mould Creation

Once the design is approved, we create a custom mould based on your artwork. This is a critical step that ensures accuracy, depth, and fine detailing in the final product.

  • High-precision engraving
  • Durable mould construction
  • Suitable for bulk production

4. Production Techniques

We use multiple manufacturing methods depending on your design and material:

  • Die casting for detailed 3D medals
  • Die striking for sharp, classic finishes
  • Stamping for cost-effective production
  • PVC moulding for flexible and colourful designs

5. Colouring & Finishing

To bring your medals to life, we apply high-quality colouring and finishing techniques:

  • Soft enamel (textured finish)
  • Hard enamel (smooth, polished surface)
  • UV printing (full-colour designs)
  • Antique, matte, or shiny plating (gold, silver, bronze)

6. Polishing & Quality Control

Every medal is carefully polished and inspected to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. We check for colour accuracy, detailing, and durability before packaging.

7. Assembly & Packaging

Final touches include attaching ribbons, clasps, or additional accessories. Medals are securely packaged to prevent damage during shipping.

  • Custom ribbons available
  • Individual or bulk packaging
  • Worldwide delivery

Why Our Craftsmanship Stands Out

Our commitment to quality and precision ensures every medal is crafted to perfection. By combining modern technology with expert craftsmanship, we deliver products that are not only visually impressive but also durable and meaningful.
