What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Your carnival theme name year and logo are struck into the medal rather than applied as a label
- Enamel colour is filled by hand and baked to withstand handling display and storage
- Neck ribbon is printed to match the medal so the award reads as a single cohesive design
- One artwork proof covers all medal variants so gold silver and bronze remain visually consistent
- Made in our own factory which keeps communication direct between you and the team striking the die
Where It Is Used

- School or youth group carnivals where students receive medals for parade participation or costume contests

Problems It Solves
- Stock medals carry generic designs and cannot include your carnival name or theme
- Printed labels on medals can peel or fade after repeated handling or exposure to weather
- Colour inconsistencies between reorders when different batches are made by separate suppliers
- Ribbons that do not match the medal design, making the award look like assembled parts
- Late changes to artwork that a supplier without in-house design cannot accommodate quickly
Technical Features
- Die struck relief so raised lines and lettering remain sharp even at small sizes
- Soft enamel fill leaves the metal edges proud of the colour for a tactile finish
- Choice of polished gold silver or antique plating on the same die
- Printed polyester neck ribbon attached through a punched eyelet or fitted jump ring
- Optional epoxy dome over the face for extra scratch resistance
Materials
- Zinc alloy or brass medal body depending on relief depth
- Baked soft enamel colour
- Electroplated gold silver bronze or antique finish
- Printed polyester ribbon with metal clip or sewn loop
Quality Control
- First struck sample checked against the approved proof before the run continues
- Plating colour compared against the retained reference piece from your previous order
- Enamel checked for pinholes overfill and colour match under daylight lamps
- Each medal bagged individually so faces do not rub in transit
- Count verified against the packing list before the carton is sealed
Customisation Options
- Any shape outline including carnival-specific silhouettes like masks, masks, or parade floats
- Carnival name year theme and sponsor logos struck into the face
- Gold silver and bronze variants from one die
- Ribbon colour and printed text changed per participant group or event stage
- Reverse side left blank struck with a logo or fitted for engraving
- Epoxy dome glitter enamel or antique wash finishes
Use Guide
- Send vector artwork where possible so small lettering stays legible when struck
- Keep text above roughly two millimetres tall or it fills in during enamelling
- Decide gold silver and bronze splits before proofing so one die covers all three
- Order a few spares per division to cover ties and damaged pieces
- Store medals in their bags until the event to avoid fingerprints on plating
