Sample work
Etched Commemorative Medals
Medal samples produced by the SGZ OEM etching service. The buyers behind each design are not published, so this page describes the work itself.
The challenge
What Made This Job Hard
Medal relief has to read at arm's length and still hold detail up close. The shoulder has to stay square through the etch, and the finished piece has to be ready for a ribbon before the event date.
Customer pain points
- One-off designs no die shop wants to tool for
- Fixed event dates with no slack for a reprint
- Relief detail that collapses if the bath runs hot or long
- First-time overseas orders that need a workable payment route
Medals with etched relief produced to a supplied artwork, without the organiser having to commission a die.
Our solution
