Medal options in plain English

Every GoPodium medal is built to order, so nothing here is a fixed menu. This is simply the range clubs and organisers usually choose from when we design with them.

Sizes

50mm and 60mm cover the vast majority of club galas, races and competitions. 70mm and above are worth it for finals, championships and anniversary events where the medal is the keepsake of the day.

Shapes

Round, shield, star, or a shape cut from your own crest or event icon. A custom outline is the single fastest way to make a medal look nothing like a catalogue one.

Metal finishes

Gold, silver and bronze as standard, plus antique gold, antique silver, antique bronze, black nickel and two-tone combinations where you want the raised detail to jump out.

Colour

Soft enamel for crisp club colours in recessed areas, printed inserts for photographic artwork or sponsor logos, and clear epoxy doming if you want a glossy, hard-wearing top.

Detail and relief

2D relief for flat, graphic crests. 3D sculpted relief where a figure, animal or landmark should stand proud of the surface and catch the light.

Reverse side

Blank, engraved with event name and date, or laser personalised per athlete with names, positions or age groups.

Ribbons

Full-colour printed ribbons in your club colours with your name repeated along the length. Standard width 22mm, 25mm and 38mm, with a heat-cut or stitched finish.

Packaging

Poly-bagged as standard, sorted into age groups or events on request, with presentation boxes and velvet pouches available for podium and championship awards.

Minimum order

100 medals across a design. Mixed gold, silver and bronze counts towards the same total.

Typical timeline

Concept back to you within 24 hours, edits the same week, then production and delivery. Tell us the event date and we plan backwards from it; four to six weeks is comfortable.

How to order medals without the usual stress

Most committees only order medals once or twice a year, so the process feels bigger than it is. Here is exactly how it runs, and where clubs usually trip up.

1. Work backwards from your event date

The only genuinely fixed date in the whole process is the day athletes need something round their neck. Start there, take off a week of contingency for delivery, and you have your production deadline.

Design and approval is the part that slips, because committees meet fortnightly and everyone has an opinion on the crest. Getting the first concept in front of people early is what keeps the schedule honest.

2. Send your logo in the best format you have

A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) is ideal because it can be scaled and separated into layers for tooling. If all you have is a PNG from your website, send it anyway. We redraw artwork routinely and will tell you honestly if quality will limit the detail.

If your crest has fine text or thin lines, we will usually suggest simplifying it slightly for the metal. Detail that reads fine on a screen can disappear at 60mm.

3. Decide what the medal has to do

A participation medal for 400 juniors and a championship medal for eight finalists are different objects. Participation medals reward volume, colour and a great ribbon. Championship medals reward weight, relief depth and finish.

Plenty of clubs run both from one design, changing only the metal finish and the ribbon wording. It keeps everything visually consistent and keeps the order over the minimum in one go.

4. Get the concept, then be picky

We send a visual concept for free before any money changes hands. Circulate it to the committee, the coaches and, if you can, one or two athletes. They notice things adults do not.

Edits are unlimited and free. Changing the shape at concept stage costs nothing; changing it after tooling costs everyone time. Say what you actually think at this stage.

5. Approve, produce, deliver

Once you sign off the design we produce the tooling, run the medals, print the ribbons and pack them to your instructions, sorted by event or age group if that helps on the day.

One named contact stays with your order from first sketch to boxes arriving, and we ship worldwide, so overseas organisers get the same process without the timezone ping-pong.

Common mistakes worth avoiding

Ordering exactly the number of entries. Late entries, double entries and lost medals are guaranteed. A ten per cent buffer costs very little and saves an awkward presentation.

Putting the year on everything. If there is any chance of leftovers being useful next season, keep the year on the ribbon or the reverse engraving rather than the medal face.

Leaving the ribbon to the end. The ribbon is half of what people see when the medal is hanging. Designing it alongside the medal, in club colours, is what makes the set look properly bespoke.
