What size should a medal be?
Most event medals are between 50mm and 70mm across. Here is how to choose, with comparisons you can picture.
50mm: about the width of a golf ball
The most popular size for club galas, school sports days, junior events and fun runs. Big enough to look good, small enough for young athletes, and the best value.
60mm: the all-rounder
A step up that gives artwork and logos more room. A good choice for 5Ks, 10Ks and club championships.
70mm: about the width of a tennis ball
A proper keepsake. Popular for half marathons, marathons, finals and anniversary events, where the medal is the photo of the day.
Thickness
GoPodium printed custom medals are 2.5mm thick with a flat printed face, which suits full-colour artwork. Premium bespoke medals can be thicker, with raised 3D detail.
