What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits

- The 3 inch size provides ample space for detailed artwork, logos, and text without crowding
- One digital proof covers the entire medal so all elements stay consistent across multiple units
- Made in-house to your artwork, so revisions are handled directly by the team doing the production

- Lack of a proof step leads to mismatched designs and costly rework after production
