A fully custom race medal is made from a custom die or mold. The shape, size, plating, artwork, colors, and design details can be created specifically for your event.
A stock-shaped medal is already made in an existing shape, size, and finish. MSH Medals customizes it by printing your race logo, artwork, event name, or award category on a dome or insert that is applied to the medal.
The main difference is design flexibility. Fully custom medals allow extensive customization, while stock-shape medals use a pre-made medal base with a custom-printed insert.
