Supporting Australian production is important to us, and it also gives our clients an opportunity to present something with a more meaningful story behind it. For organisations looking for Australian-made custom medals, locally made awards or premium corporate recognition pieces, this can make a real difference. Premium 60mm and 70mm Custom Medals For most corporate and event projects, we recommend medals that have enough size and presence to be clearly seen during presentations and in photography. Our custom medals are available in: 60mmOur recommended standard size. Substantial, premium and beautifully balanced. 70mmA statement medal designed for maximum impact on stage, in photography and on display. Both sizes can be created in zinc alloy or brass, depending on the finish and weight you prefer. Zinc Alloy vs Brass Medals Both zinc alloy and brass can create a premium result. Zinc alloy medals are particularly suited to larger custom medals because they can provide excellent detail and a substantial feel without becoming unnecessarily heavy. Brass medals have a heavier, more traditional feel and are ideal for clients looking for an especially substantial finish. Not sure which material to choose? That’s completely fine. We can recommend the most suitable material once we understand your event and what you want the medal to feel like. Custom Medals With Personalised Lanyards Every custom medal includes a lanyard in your chosen brand colour. The lanyard can also be personalised with your: Company logo Event name Award title Organisation name Custom wording This means the medal and lanyard can work together as one fully branded recognition piece.
