About Custom Medals
Customize Your Perfect Medals
At THE/STUDIO, creating custom medals that stand out is simple and rewarding. Start by choosing the shape and size that best fits your event, whether it’s a classic round medal or a custom-cut design that’s entirely unique. Select from premium materials like zinc alloy or brass, and choose finishes such as polished gold, silver, bronze, or antique effects to enhance the look and feel.
Next, personalize your medal with custom engravings, embossed details, or vibrant color fills to bring your design to life. Add logos, text, or intricate artwork that reflects your occasion. Pair your medal with a ribbon in your choice of colors or patterns, or even customize the ribbon to match your branding.
Finally, review a digital proof to ensure your medal looks exactly as you imagined. Once approved, our skilled team brings your vision to life with precision and care. With THE/STUDIO, your perfect custom medal is just a few steps away!
Create Fully Customizable Medals
Create custom medals for any occasion with the same precision and quality seen in Olympic and military honors like the Purple Heart. THE/STUDIO ensures high-quality craftsmanship for every medal.​
Custom Medal Type
Decide how you want your custom medal to showcase your design. You can choose to have your artwork, text, or logo featured on just the front for a clean and classic look, or go all out by customizing both sides for added impact and storytelling. A single-sided design works well for simpler, elegant awards, while double-sided medals offer more space to include additional details like dates, event names, or a special message. At THE/STUDIO, we ensure every detail is crafted with precision, whether you choose one side or both, so your medal is as unique and meaningful as the achievement it represents.
One Side with Design
Our most popular medal style. Your medal will feature your design on just one side.
Both Sides with Design
Your medal will feature your design on both sides. Choose whether to include the same design on both sides or different ones.
Custom Medal Style
Bring your medal design to life by selecting the perfect style. Choose techniques like die-casting for intricate 3D details, soft enamel for vibrant colors, or engraving for a personal touch. Next, pick high-quality materials such as zinc alloy, brass, or aluminum, paired with finishes like polished gold, silver, bronze, or antique effects. These options ensure your medal is both visually stunning and a meaningful keepsake.
