Die Struck Iron Medallions

The die struck iron medallions category offers a comprehensive range of custom awards designed to balance professional quality with volume pricing. The collection spans five distinct size options, starting from a standard 40mm format up to a substantial 76mm piece that can be cast into completely custom shapes. Positioned as the more economical alternative to our brass range, these items are ideal for corporate events, charity runs, and large-scale sporting competitions where budget constraints must be met without sacrificing the weight and feel of a genuine metal award.

The impressive final appearance is achieved through a multi-step manufacturing sequence. First, your custom design is die struck directly into the iron base material, creating distinct raised borders and recessed cavities. The metal is then plated in your preferred finish. To bring the design to life, up to four soft enamel colours are carefully added to the recessed areas. The entire piece is then subjected to a baking process, which cures the enamel to ensure the colours remain vibrant and the finish stays highly durable over time.

Event organisers use these versatile awards across a broad spectrum of applications. A corporate charity might distribute the 50mm variations to acknowledge top fundraisers, while a regional sports association could use the larger custom-shaped options for their annual championship winners. Every unit is supplied with a built-in loop and jump ring for easy ribbon attachment. While standard orders feature a single-sided 2D design, the manufacturing process can be adapted to include double-sided stamping when extra information needs to be displayed.

FAQs

Why choose iron over other metal bases?
Iron provides the same substantial weight and allows for the same precise die striking process as brass, but it is a much cheaper raw material, making it ideal for large volume orders.

How are the colours applied to the design?
We use a soft enamel process where up to four colours are added into the recessed areas of the die struck metal, which is then baked to seal and protect the finish.

What sizes are available in this range?
We offer five standard sizes: 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 63mm, and 76mm, with the largest size specifically designed to accommodate completely custom shapes.

Can these be printed on both sides?
The standard manufacturing process covers a 2D die struck design on one side, but we can accommodate double-sided designs for an additional setup cost.
