FAQ

Explore medal artwork, relief, ribbon connections and personalized details to plan an award that suits your event.

Can the front and back of a medal have different artwork?

Yes. Each side can carry its own logo, event details or message. Plan both sides together so the artwork remains clear within the chosen outline and ribbon attachment layout.

Should I choose 2D or 3D relief for my medal?

Use 2D relief for crisp logos, lettering and defined height changes. Choose 3D relief for faces, buildings or sculpted forms with rounded contours and gradual transitions.

How do I choose the right medal size and shape?

Allow room for readable text, clear relief and the ribbon connection. Detailed artwork or narrow custom shapes may need enlargement or simplification at the finished size.

How should I choose the ribbon and its connection?

Choose a loop, jump ring or ribbon slot to suit the medal outline and ribbon. Stock-color or custom-printed ribbons are available; plan the ribbon and connection together.

Can the medal combine metal finishes with event colors?

Yes. Enamel or printing can add event colors alongside the metal finish. Use Pantone references as color targets; the achievable match depends on the selected process.

Can each medal have a different recipient name or number?

Yes. Laser engraving can add names, dates or individual numbers where the design leaves a suitable area. Provide the exact text or list and intended placement for review.

How should I clean and store the medal and ribbon?

Wipe the medal gently with a soft, dry cloth; keep the ribbon dry and store it flat when possible. Avoid abrasive cleaners, prolonged moisture and household chemicals.
