Etching Service for Medals
Etched medals and commemorative pieces to your drawing, quoted per design, shipped by courier.
Overview
What This Product Is
SGZ etches medals and commemorative pieces to a customer drawing. Send the artwork by email, SGZ quotes that design, and the medals ship by international courier. The relief is etched on the same plate stock and bath SGZ supplies to die makers.
Quoted per design
SGZ staff contact you directly about each design and its price.
Relief etched in metal
The design is etched rather than printed.
Courier delivery
TNT, FedEx, UPS, DHL and Aramex.
Flexible payment
PayPal, Western Union and T/T bank transfer.

Problems it solves
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Medal relief has to be cut into metal, which needs plate, chemistry and a bath. SGZ has all three.
- A one-off event medal is too small a job for a die shop to tool up for. SGZ quotes per design.
- Events run to a date, so the medals have to land on time. SGZ ships by courier on five carrier accounts.
- Overseas organisers need a payment route that clears quickly, so PayPal, Western Union and T/T are all accepted.
