If your race is less than 30 days away, fully custom die-cast medals are usually not the best option.
In this situation, MSH Medals will usually recommend stock-shaped medals instead of full custom medals. Stock-shape medals are decorated domestically and normally have about a 2-week turnaround, depending on availability, artwork readiness, quantity, and shipping location.
In some cases, stock-shape medals may be possible in around 7 business days, but we normally recommend allowing about 2 weeks whenever possible.
