What materials are Budgettrophy medals made from?

Budgettrophy offers medals made from two premium materials: Zamak and iron.

Zamak is a strong zinc-based alloy that allows for detailed designs, clean shapes and high-quality finishes. It is a great choice for medals that need a refined and professional appearance.

Iron medals are heavier and offer a more substantial feel. They are often a good choice if you want a medal with more weight and presence, while still keeping costs affordable.

Need medals urgently?

If you need medals quickly, Budgettrophy can help with fast processing for time-sensitive orders. Many products ordered before noon on working days can be shipped the same day. Depending on your location and chosen product, this means you may receive your order very quickly.

Please note that same-day dispatch only applies to eligible products ordered before the cut-off time on working days. For urgent orders or specific delivery requests, we recommend contacting our customer service team before placing your order.

Sports medals for every competition

Budgettrophy supplies medals for a wide range of sports and events, including swimming, running, football, judo, school sports days, tournaments and club competitions. If you cannot find a medal for your specific sport, many designs can be customised with your own logo, branding, image or text.

Our medals are suitable for winners, finalists, participants, teams and individual achievements. They are also ideal as keepsakes, gifts or participation awards for children and adults.

What types of medals are available at BudgetTrophy?

To make it easier to choose the right medal, Budgettrophy offers medals in several popular sizes.

Small medals 

Small medals usually have a diameter between 32 and 40 mm. They are one of the most affordable options and are ideal when you want to reward every participant at an event.

Medium medals

Medium medals can measure up to 60 mm in diameter. This is the most popular medal size and is suitable for most competitions, school events, sports tournaments and award ceremonies.

Large medals 

Large medals can measure up to 70 mm in diameter. They are ideal for winners, special achievements and events where you want the award to make a stronger impression.

Personalise your medal

Personalisation adds extra value to every medal. A customised medal becomes a lasting reminder of the event, achievement or competition it represents.

Depending on the product, medals can be personalised with names, logos, images, event details, dates, engraved text or category titles. This makes them perfect for sports clubs, schools, businesses, charities and event organisers who want awards that feel unique and memorable.

Medal ribbons and accessories

A medal is not complete without a ribbon. Ribbons allow participants to wear their medal proudly during the event and display it afterwards as a keepsake.

Budgettrophy offers a wide range of ribbons in different colours and widths. Small medals are usually paired with 10 mm ribbons, while medium and large medals are commonly paired with 22 mm ribbons. Choosing the right ribbon helps give every medal a professional and complete finish.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medals

What are medals commonly used for?

Medals are commonly used to reward achievement, participation or performance during sports competitions, school events, corporate ceremonies, dance competitions, charity events and award presentations. They help recognise accomplishments and create memorable experiences for participants.

What is the difference between a medal and a trophy?

Medals are usually awarded to multiple participants, category winners or finalists, while trophies are often reserved for overall winners or special distinctions. Medals are popular for large events because they are practical, affordable, customisable and suitable for all age groups.

What materials are medals made from?

Most medals are made from materials such as iron, zinc alloy, Zamak, brass or acrylic. Iron medals are often heavier and cost-effective, while Zamak medals allow for detailed designs and premium finishes.

How do you choose the right medal for an event?

The best medal depends on the type of event, participant age group, budget, desired size and level of customisation. Small medals are ideal for participation awards, medium medals work well for most competitions, and large medals are best for winners or premium awards.

Why are personalised medals popular?

Personalised medals help create a stronger emotional connection for participants. Adding logos, event names, dates, engraving or custom ribbons makes the award more memorable and helps reinforce the identity of the event, club, school or organisation.

Can medals be customised with logos and engraving?

Yes, many medals can be customised with logos, images, event branding, engraving, names, dates, category titles and ribbons. This allows organisers to create medals that match their event theme or brand identity.

What ribbon options are available for medals?

Medal ribbons are available in different colours, widths and styles. Many organisers choose ribbon colours that match their event branding, sports team, school colours or corporate identity.

Are medals suitable for children’s events?

Yes, medals are widely used for school competitions, sports days, youth tournaments and participation awards. Lightweight and affordable medals are especially popular for children’s events because they allow every participant to receive recognition.

What are the benefits of ordering medals in bulk?

Bulk medal orders are often more cost-effective for large competitions, schools, clubs, tournaments and corporate events. Ordering in bulk also helps ensure that all participants receive consistent medals with the same design and finish.

How long does it take to produce personalised medals?

Production and delivery times depend on the medal type, order size and level of customisation. Standard medals are often available quickly, while fully personalised medals may require additional production time.
