Custom School Medals for Graduation and Academic Awards
A graduation medal is worn over the gown, ends up in every photo the family takes, and stays in a box for decades. Custom graduation medals, honor roll awards and academic medals — for graduation ceremonies, valedictorian and salutatorian awards, spelling bees, science fairs, band and choir contests and student recognition programs. Made for schools, districts, PTAs and academic clubs, these custom school medals start at 20 pieces per design.
Details
- Minimum Order Quantity: 20 medals per design, so one honours class or one award category is enough to order.
- Engraving: student names, award categories, GPA or graduating year. There is no engraving box in the builder yet, so describe what you need in Special instructions and we will confirm it on your proof.
- Sizes: seven diameters, 1.5" to 3" (38-76 mm). About 2" suits a class-wide award; 2.5" to 3" is what valedictorian and top-honours medals use.
- Award Tiers: Antique Gold, Antique Silver and Antique Bronze come out of the same order, so honour tiers need one design rather than three.
- Metal Finish: eight platings in all — the three antiques above plus High-Polish Gold, High-Polish Silver, Dual-Plating, Rose Gold and Black Nickel.
- Ribbon: included with every medal. A standard ribbon, a custom printed ribbon carrying your school name, or a woven ribbon in school colours.
- Packaging: protective sleeve included. Upgrade to a clear display box or a velvet presentation box for ceremony presentation.
Three Ways To Make It
- Die Struck: stamped metal relief, no colour. The formal academic look, and the most affordable of the three.
- Soft Enamel: the same relief with colour filled into every recess, so a school crest keeps its exact colours.
- 3D Cast: sculpted depth instead of a flat face, for mascots and shaped medals.
Artwork & Delivery
- Front and Back: school crest, program name and year on the front; award category or a student name panel on the back. Upload each face separately.
- File Type: any format, vector preferred. Your existing crest file is enough to start from, and we will tell you if anything needs redrawing.
- Timing: 10-15 business days production after your free digital proof is approved, then 7-15 business days transit with free worldwide shipping. Put your ceremony date in Special instructions and we will confirm the schedule before you pay.
