Custom Die Struck Medals
Product Details
Custom Die Struck Medals are known for their precision metal stamping process, where high pressure is used to create sharp, deep, and highly detailed designs directly on the metal surface. Without enamel coloring, the design relies entirely on relief depth, texture, and metal finishing, giving the medal a strong, classic, and premium appearance.
This style is ideal for designs that emphasize structure and craftsmanship. Common finishes include antique gold, antique silver, polished gold, or dual-tone plating, which enhance the contrast and highlight the engraved details, making each medal feel more refined and collectible.
Die struck medals are widely used for military recognition, long-service awards, corporate honors, and official commemorative events. They are especially suitable for occasions where durability, authority, and timeless value are more important than color.

Why Order Custom Die Struck Medals?
Custom die struck medals focus on classic metal texture, physical weight, and understated prestige. Instead of using bright enamel colors, they create a more formal and timeless award through raised details, recessed contours, and antique plating finishes.
Antique Contours and Light
Without enamel colors, the design depends on the contrast between raised metal and recessed details. Antique gold, silver, or bronze finishes add darker tones in the low areas while keeping the raised parts clear and polished.
A Strong Sense of Honor
Die struck medals are ideal for formal awards, military-style honors, institutional recognition, lifetime achievements, and ceremonies where the medal needs to feel serious, meaningful, and prestigious.
No Color Matching Risks
Since the medal surface is solid metal, there is no need to worry about PMS color matching, color bleeding, fading, or yellowing. The result is clean, consistent, and easy to present in a velvet box.

Custom Die Struck Medals FAQ
Common questions about die struck medal readability, weight, antique plating, finish options, and 2D or 3D effects.
Without colors, will my logo and text be easy to read?
Yes. We use a dual-texture finish, polishing the raised areas while sandblasting or darkening the recessed sections. This contrast helps your logo, text, and details stand out clearly under the light.
For fine details or small text, we highly recommend antique plating, such as antique gold, antique silver, or antique bronze. The darker recessed areas naturally outline your design for better readability.
Do these medals have a heavy, premium weight in the hand?
Yes. We use heavy-duty zinc alloy or solid brass instead of flimsy iron or lightweight aluminum. The solid weight, metal texture, and premium finish make the medal feel more valuable and suitable for distinguished achievements.
Will they fade, rust, or turn yellow over time?
No. Die struck medals do not use enamel or paint pigments, so there is no risk of color cracking, chipping, fading, or yellowing. The vintage look is created directly through the metal plating process, making the medal suitable for long-term display and collection.
Can I split one order into gold, silver, and bronze finishes?
Yes. As long as the design stays the same, we only need to create one custom mold. Then we can plate the same medal design in gold, silver, and bronze finishes for 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place awards.
This is a popular way to save the cost of extra mold fees while keeping your award set consistent.
Should I choose a 2D or 3D effect for my design?
Choose 2D if your design includes flat text, clean logos, simple shapes, or sharp geometric lines. It gives the medal clear raised and recessed levels while keeping the cost more budget-friendly.
Choose 3D if your artwork includes portraits, buildings, animals, eagles, lions, or realistic details. We sculpt the mold in 3D to give the medal a richer, rounded, statue-like depth.
