Custom Commemorative Medallions

Custom Commemorative Medallions from Longtian: custom commemorative medallions for museums, scenic attractions, enterprises and universities. Our MOQ starts from 50 pcs. Sampling usually takes 5–7 days after the digital proof is approved; mass production takes about 15–25 days after sample approval. Price depends mainly on size, metal, enamel, plating, presentation packaging and quantity; we do not publish a fixed price list — each project is quoted from your artwork and quantity. Sample and mold fees are quoted per design. Payment is T/T 30% deposit and 70% before shipment (PayPal for samples); trade terms are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or DDP by quote. An NDA is available on request.

Commemorative medallions mark memberships, anniversaries and honour programmes with a presentation piece that is often boxed rather than worn on a ribbon. We handle the design proof, sampling and production, then pack for export.

Crafts and processes

• Die-cast or stamped metal medallions
• Soft or hard enamel colour
• Antique and dual plating
• Optional ribbon, neck ribbon or desk stand
• Numbering for limited editions

Commemorative medallions are closer to presentation pieces than to race medals. They are die-cast or stamped, plated and often enamelled, then presented in a box, on a short ribbon or on a desk stand. Relief and finish quality matter because the piece is examined closely. Limited editions may be numbered on the rim or reverse.

Honour programmes often reuse the same medallion for years while changing only the date or membership level on the reverse. Designing a stable front and a flexible reverse saves tooling later. Presentation boxes should leave space for a small card that states the programme name so recipients understand why they received the piece.

Materials

• Zinc alloy or brass
• Soft or hard enamel
• Antique, bright or dual plating
• Ribbon, neck ribbon or stand
• Velvet box or capsule

Brass suits denser collector pieces; zinc suits sculpted shapes at a wider range of budgets. When a programme needs both a wearable miniature and a desk medallion, we can quote related sizes from one artwork family.

Sizes

• Presentation medallions are commonly about 40–70 mm
• Larger honour pieces are quoted individually

Diameter must fit the text and emblem without crowding.

Packaging

• Velvet box
• Capsule and card
• Desk-stand set box
• Numbered certificate sleeve when required

Presentation packaging is part of the honour experience; design it with the medallion. For annual honour dinners, confirm box colour against table setting photos so the unboxing feels intentional.

Customization options

• Diameter and relief depth
• Plating and enamel colours
• Ribbon or presentation stand
• Velvet box or capsule
• Serial numbering

Who orders them and why

• Enterprises: years-of-service and honour awards.
• Museums: membership and patron medallions.
• Universities: alumni and academic honour pieces.
• Sporting and event organisers: non-race commemorative issues.

Design tips

Write honour text carefully — mistakes are costly after tooling. Decide boxing early. For membership programmes, plan reorder quantities for new members. Align honour criteria text with HR or membership teams before the proof. Store the approved sample so every year's reorder matches the finish.

What affects the price (no fixed list)

Price is quoted per project. The main drivers for commemorative medallions are material and process, size, finish detail, packaging and quantity per design. Sample and mold or setup fees are quoted per design. We do not publish USD prices.
