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.

Unique Awards Using Metal Casting
If you’re in the market for awards recognising outstanding performance, be it on the sports field or in the business environment if you want your team members to really vale their award then you’ll want it to be substantial, weighty and stand out from the crowd. There are literally thousands of off the shelf awards, but to get something special you’re going to have to find a company that specialises in metal casting.
Metal casting is a process whereby the liquid metal is poured into a receptacle constructed of another material which can be a variety of materials, from sand to wax for example, where it assumes the shape of the hollow in that material. Metal casting allows you to use your imagination when it comes to designing an award. Within reason, for example all the parts need to be connected within the mould you can let your imagination run riot. Corporate logo’s fun themes, sporting achievement recognition, even mini Oscars are possible, it’s up to you.
The metal casting technique allows you cast a variety of different metals, usually those which have a low melting temperature, for example the oldest known cast metal object is a cast metal frog from 3200 BC. Other materials can be cast such as concrete and epoxy. You can see examples of concrete casting at your neighbourhood garden store where ornamentation is commonly made using the casting technique. Manufacturers can even make a passable imitation of marble by casting different colours of resin together.
Metal casting is used primarily to make objects for ornamentation, or for uses such as awards. When ordering your metal cast awards ask to see examples of the company’s previous work. Rough metal casting usually has edges that need to be trimmed and ground down. This is perhaps where the most finicky work comes in, because without proper finishing metal casting can result in awards that look unfinished and cheap. Always make sure that the company that you deal with has a reputation for supplying quality goods.
If you would like to know more about the possibilities of metal casting then contact us.

Medals And Trophies For Sport Awards
There are two items that are generally used in sport awards. The first are medals that can be awarded to sport champions on an individual basis. This is the simplest and least expensive route that you can choose. The second is to have trophies made for your sport awards.
