Design applications for a Diestruck Custom Medallion

Our diestruck medallions allow the finest details to be faithfully reproduced. Contouring of the medallions can also be accomplished allowing multi-dimensional effects. Your medallion will be finely polished and bright plating will provide a maximal amount of reflection and gleam. These are the medallions of choice where quality is foremost. Enamel colours work very well for die struck designs, particularly Polymer enamels that can be polished smooth to the face of the medallion. These medallions engrave very well even with smaller lettering and scripts.

How a Diestruck Medallion is Manufactured

Starting with electronic artwork, your design is engraved into specially tempered tool steel. At least two mated pieces are machined, polished to perfection and then further tempered. Once tempered, your design is ready to imprint. Depending on the size and thickness of the medallion and the type of detail you are looking to reproduce, special alloys are selected for the medallion blank. The blank stock is then placed into the stamping press and using many tons of pressure, the Die is stamped repeatedly into the metal. The result is a medallion with crisp details. The medallion is then polished and enamel colours, where requested, are applied. It is then polished again and then plated in your choice of high quality bright and antique finishes. Additional sandblasted effects can be added to the medallion which further enhances and contrasts the raised and recessed areas. The final result is a proof like finish similar to finely minted coins.

Medallion Attachment Types

Medallions can have either a clip top (for neck ribbons having lanyard clips on them) or they can have a through ribbon slot (the neck ribbon is threaded through a slot in the actual medal and then sewn or riveted)

Or you may choose to have your medallion without a neck ribbon – see our coins section for additional coin ideas.

Clip Top Attachment

Ribbon Through Loop
	The neck ribbon is threaded through a slot in the actual medal and then sewn or riveted.

No attachment type
	See our coins section for additional coin ideas.

Plating Options

Your medallions can be plated in any mix of different finishes. For instance you may wish to order 250 medallions and would like 90 of them in antique gold, 90 of them in antique silver and 70 of them in antique bronze. Our bright plating colours are hard, metal based finishes. Our antique finishes are acid pickle plated and then polished to brighten the raised areas and leave recessed areas dark. This provides plenty of contrast for your design.

Enamel Colouring

Enamel colouring is available on all medallions at a nominal additional charge.

All of the enamels are applied by hand into recessed areas of the medallion. There are differences in the types of enamels and the type of medallions certain enamels can be put onto.

Soft Enamel
Our most popular enamel colourant. This enamel can be used on all medallions. This enamel is applied using a syringe to place each colour into its respective location. The colours are then either cured by kilning or the enamel has an epoxy accelerant in it to allow room temperature curing. No additional polishing is required. The enamel will be slightly sunken below the surface of the medallion after curing. This provides a textured appearance.

Polymer Enamel
Powdered plastic resin is applied and the resin is the fired in a kiln. After firing, excess resin is polished away. This creates a very smooth finish that is flush with the raised areas of the medallion. Polymer enamel can only be applied to die struck medallions and coins.

Neck Ribbon Options:

All of your medallions come complete with your choice of a stock neck ribbon. The neck ribbon can either be clipped on if your medallion has a clip top or if your medallion has a through loop at the top, you can have one of our stock ribbon fabrics sewn through it.
