Personalized medals for clubs are suitable for tournaments, internal leagues, camps, and end-of-season awards. The crest, sport, and identity of the event are transferred to the front relief without turning the medal into a generic design.
When these personalized medals are a good fit for clubs
- Tournaments and leagues for one or more categories.
- Camps, sports schools, and technical training days.
- Participation, career achievement, or fair play awards.
What to keep fixed and what to change in each edition
The mold should include the crest, club name, and a symbol representing the sport. It is better to reserve the season, category, position, or name of each tournament for later printing.
A club that organizes several events can produce a base medal with its crest and reserve an area for printing the season or category afterward. This way, it does not depend on a new mold for under-10s, cadets, camps, or subsequent tournaments.
- Decide whether all categories will share the same shape and relief.
- Separate the permanent crest from the season, category, and ranking.
- Calculate a reserve of base medals for future tournaments.
Zinc alloy metal and physical relief
The medal is made of a zinc alloy, technically known as zamak. The design is part of the piece's relief: it is not ink, vinyl, or laser engraving applied afterward. It can be modeled in 2D or 3D and retains considerable detail, although overly fine lines, tiny text, and complex photographs have to be adapted to the metal.
We offer gold, silver, and bronze finishes, aged or non-aged. The additional color is printed in full color directly onto the metal.
The front and back are decided together
The front features the personalized relief. The back can be smooth or also include relief. In the latter case, two independent sides are not designed: the protrusions on one side must correspond to the opposite side, and both are reviewed as a single piece. The mold can be prepared for one or two sides; personalizing only one is slightly more affordable.
Shape, ribbon, and presentation
- Shape: circular, square, or completely irregular around the symbol; there is no need to fit the design into a template.
- Generic ribbon: solid colors or the Spanish flag.
- Personalized ribbon: it can feature logos, words, photographs, or a complete design.
- Delivery: each medal arrives assembled and in an individual transparent plastic bag. An individual cardboard box can also be quoted.
If the relief and mold are the same, different finishes or categories can be combined within the batch. The specific distribution is confirmed in the quote.
Estimated price and what affects it
As a reference, the base price can range approximately from €4 per unit for one-sided relief and a generic ribbon to €8 per unit for different reliefs on both sides, full-color printing on both sides, and a personalized ribbon. The quantity, size, and design complexity can increase or decrease the price; the exact quote is provided when a quotation is requested.
These figures do not include VAT or shipping. Shipping 100 medals usually amounts to approximately 10–15 €, so its cost per unit is small, but it is calculated separately.
See the mold calculation and reorder prices for 60, 70, and 80 mm.
A mold that can be used for more than one edition
Casting requires a physical mold, but that mold is manufactured only once. To reuse it, it is best to emboss what does not change: the logo, the organization’s name, the shape, and permanent elements. The year, category, venue, or dedication can be reserved for a full-color printed area later.
Factory reorders have a minimum of 100 units. There is another option when the organization already has base medals from the first run in stock: we can print details for a subsequent event starting from around 10 medals, at an estimated cost of approximately €2 per medal. Ten new pieces are not manufactured; the stock already set aside for this purpose is personalized.
From the initial file to delivery
- Quote. The offer is valid for 15 days and specifies the size, quantity, sides, finish, color, ribbon, packaging, VAT, and shipping.
- Design preparation. We can work with a vector file or enhance a low-quality original as far as the available information allows. A small or blurry file does not contain the missing detail, and it cannot always be reconstructed.
- Digital proof. The shape, relief, text, color, and ribbon are reviewed before the mold is manufactured. An individual physical sample costs around €300 because it requires making the mold and carrying out the factory process; therefore, approval is usually digital.
- Payment and production. For a first order, 100% is paid in advance via SEPA. The estimated lead time is approximately four weeks from payment and confirmation. If a company already has deferred payment terms, non-recourse factoring with an additional fee may be considered.
What to send to assess customized medals for clubs
To prepare a useful proposal, we need the crest or symbol, discipline, categories, quantity per category, and date of use. You do not need to provide a finalized production file in the first message; however, it is advisable to separate the essential elements from those that can be adapted to the relief.

Provide the crest or symbol, discipline, categories, quantity per category, and date of use. Also indicate whether you prefer one or two sides, approximate size, finish, ribbon, and packaging. With this information, we can prepare a quote for a minimum order of 100 units per reference.
