Make An Impression With Custom Medals
Walk into any shop that sells trophies and custom medals and you will be astounded by the amount, the sheer variety of medals and other awards that can be found lining the shelves in the shop. But if you look closer you’ll also find that you’ve seen medals and trophies like them, or at least very similar being handed out at junior sports days across the country. These mass produced trophies are not only cheap to produce, but are easy to source, there are really very few occasions when the generic trophy chosen or one which looks very much like it will be out of stock.
If you want to make an impression and make sure that the trophy you hand to the team member, be it at a sporting event or at a sales recognition event at the office then you’re going to have to take it one step further and take a look at having custom medals produced. Custom medals can be made up in a variety of designs, including those which feature the corporate logo and an inspirational message for each of the team members. Because the medals have been custom made, each of them can feature a different inspirational message which is applicable to the sporting or business event where it is presented.
Custom medals can also be awarded to the team as a whole. Because there is very little limitation on the size of the custom medal a good idea would be to present each team member with their own custom medal and then have an oversize medal produced which can then be displayed in the clubhouse or in the relevant department in the office.
The manufacturing of custom medals can use a variety of different materials, from wood, to epoxy, to metals like gold, silver and bronze, however there is obviously a cost implication depending on which of the materials is used.

Custom made medals are not modern inventions. The Victorian Cross, a British medal was introduced during the Crimean War in 1856 as an award to soldiers who showed extreme bravery during the course of a battle. The achievement awards were crafted from bronze that came from captured armour. Other medals of the time were that of the Distinguished Service Cross, and later the Star awarded for participation in the First World War.
Heroism has always been associated with the military awards, just as top achievement is today associated with custom made medals whether in sports, academics, cultural activities, and the arts. More affordable than trophies the custom made medals can be awarded to all the team members or participants of events such as marathons.

When should you award custom sports medals and which types are available? These two questions are frequently asked by managers at event organizing companies, sport clubs, schools, and universities alike.
Generic awards are well suited for handing out at the end-of-year prize giving to award participants in particular sports for their commitment to the sport. You will also award the athletes with general medals when they form part of a team and have won the particular league. The team will get the custom trophy to be displayed while all the members each get a generic award. Custom sports medals on the other hand can be awarded for the top performers in particular areas, the winners at sports events, and for special occasions. In such instances generic awards will hardly serve the purpose and we will recommend custom sports medals.
Types available
The sky is the limit when it comes to customization. In general special metals and alloys are used with gold plating where required. The design will be imbedded and the item polished. You can select between matt and gloss finishes and the appropriate ribbons to go along with the pendant. In addition we can also ensure that embossing is done or that your corporate, school or club logo is prominently displayed. Whether you require awards for karate, soccer, tennis, chess, dancing or athletics we have the design capability to ensure unique end-products that can be worn with pride.
We are located in Garsfontein in the east of Pretoria, but with our online facility and contact office it is possible to design and deliver products anywhere in South Africa. Companies from Cape Town and Durban right through to places such as Welcome, Nelspruit, and Johannesburg are no problem.

Why invest in custom medals as opposed to generic medals? At Trophy and Medal Boutique we believe in choice. It is well worth your while to purchase the generic awards if you will have to hand out many of the awards on a regular basis. When it comes to top performers however, you will want custom medals.
The athletes work hard throughout the year. They commit their time and skills to training for a particular sport. At the end-of-year awards we recommend generic awards for participation in sport types, but at actual events, you will want custom medals to reflect the specific event and sport. This will serve as an incentive to perform and provide the winners with something that will distinguish them from the other participants.
Show the respect that the athletes deserve by investing in custom medals for the particular sports. For team sports it will be perfect if you can hand out a medal for every member of the team when they win the league. When there is however, one player such as man of the match in cricket, you will want a custom award. If you have design in your head, simply share it with us and see the amazing end-results. We already have a comprehensive library of designs and can either adapt the designs to fit your particular idea or come up with a fresh idea from the start. We know it is a personal choice and as such we take special care in crafting items to fit your requirements.
Custom awards are a great way to boost the self esteem of participants and serve as incentives for others to also perform even better than they already are. Whether it is for a team sport or an individual sport, invest in custom medals if you want to reward above average performance. Contact us today for a quote and advice according to your particular award requirements.
