What Customers Say About Our Medallion Awards
“GREAT Customer Service, A+ Communication, and SUPERIOR product. Can't recommend Bennett enough. We run a small non-profit music festival in Chicago that provides MVP Awards to outstanding musicians at the end of our Grand Finale Concert. This year we decided to go in a different direction and designed medallions. After researching a bunch of companies and reaching to a handful, Bennett Awards won our business. Our communications with them have been refreshingly good (one of the reasons they won our project), the design / review process was smooth, the turnaround time was PERFECT (even despite our tight turnaround), and the end product was superior to what I've seen out there.”

FAQs for Medallions
-
Bennett Awards creates custom medallions ranging from intimate 1-inch recognition pins through impressive 6-inch presentation medallions in round, oval, square, shield, or completely custom silhouettes matching organizational symbols or logos. Each size suits different presentation contexts—smaller medallions for ribbons and wearable recognition, larger pieces for bases, plaques, or standalone desktop display creating appropriate visual impact.
-
Custom medallions are precision-cast using die-striking or lost-wax casting methods capturing extraordinary three-dimensional relief detail on front and back surfaces. These traditional metalworking techniques ensure intricate logos, detailed imagery, and fine text reproduce with remarkable clarity in bronze, pewter, brass, or specialty alloys. Casting delivers durable medals maintaining detail through decades of handling and display.
-
Absolutely. Custom medallion design utilizes both surfaces for maximum recognition impact. Front surfaces typically feature organizational logos, event imagery, or symbolic representations while back surfaces accommodate personalized recipient information, achievement details, dates, or additional branding elements. This dual-surface customization creates comprehensive recognition pieces telling complete stories within compact, wearable formats.
-
Custom medallions accommodate versatile display including suspension from ribbons for ceremonial presentations, mounting on wood or metal bases for desktop display, integration into perpetual plaques with engraved recipient plates, attachment to trophy cups creating hybrid recognition, or presentation in display cases. This flexibility ensures medallions suit any recognition context from formal ceremonies through permanent office installations.
-
Yes. Custom medallions represent one of most cost-effective premium recognition options on per-unit basis. Manufacturing efficiency, material economy, and streamlined production enable exceptional value without compromising artistic detail or perceived quality. This affordability makes medallions ideal for programs recognizing multiple recipients—from academic achievement through athletic competitions—where meaningful recognition matters but budgets require efficiency.
-
Custom medallion production typically requires 6-8 weeks including design approval, die or mold creation, casting, finishing, and quality control. Initial orders require tooling creation extending lead times, but reorders using existing dies ship faster at 3-4 weeks. Rush production may be available for time-sensitive events. Our team provides detailed production schedules ensuring medallions arrive when needed for ceremonies or presentations.
-
Can medallions be personalized for individual recipients? Yes. Custom medallions accommodate individual recipient personalization through engraving on back surfaces or accompanying plates attached to bases, plaques, or display cases. While medal faces typically remain consistent across production runs for visual coherence, personalization options ensure each recipient receives recognition acknowledging their specific achievements, dates, or unique contributions—balancing consistency with individualization.
