OEM & ODM CUSTOM MEDALS & BADGES
Custom Medal & Badge Manufacturer
Kingtop is a custom medal and badge manufacturer serving sports events, clubs, schools, souvenir distributors and promotional projects.
We support custom shapes, 2D, 2.5D and 3D designs, die casting, enamel colors, plating, logo customization, ribbons, assembly and packaging.
For custom medal and badge production, zinc alloy is commonly used because it supports detailed relief, custom shapes, 2D / 2.5D / 3D designs, plating and enamel finishes. Sports medals, commemorative medals and custom badges can be personalized with logos, relief details, enamel colors, plating finishes and ribbon options.
Typical MOQ is 1,000 pcs per design. A sample takes about 7 days after artwork and production details are confirmed, and bulk production typically takes 15–20 days after sample approval.
Preferred artwork formats are AI, EPS or editable PDF. If you only have JPG, PNG files or a basic concept, we can review artwork and prepare production-ready files before mold development.
The manufacturing process runs from artwork confirmation to mold development, zinc alloy die casting, polishing, plating, enamel coloring, assembly, quality inspection, ribbon and accessory assembly where applicable, and packaging.
During production, inspection covers surface finish, plating appearance, enamel color and relief details, with ribbon and accessory assembly checked before final inspection prior to packing. This helps maintain finish consistency and assembly quality across the order.
Custom packaging options include individual poly bags, backing cards, medal cases, gift boxes and custom branded packaging, selected according to medal size, ribbon or accessory configuration, retail presentation, sports events, commemorative programs, corporate awards and branding requirements.
Kingtop is a Dongguan-based OEM/ODM custom metal product manufacturer. Factory and quality management systems are supported by ISO9001, BSCI and Sedex / SMETA, while RoHS and EN71-3 documentation can support applicable projects depending on product and market requirements. Buyers may provide target market and testing requirements during inquiry.
Medal and badge tooling is simpler than sculpted souvenir work, so more designs reach the 500-piece tier. Our 500-piece minimum guide lists the badge products currently available at that quantity.

Custom Medals and Badges - Process and Material Comparison
Process choice should follow the design and the volume. Both processes below are produced in-house in zinc alloy and finished with plating and enamel coloring.
| Process | Design Fit | Relief and Detail | Typical Use Case | Finish Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc Alloy Die Casting | Custom shapes, mascots, animals, 2D / 2.5D / 3D designs | High relief with separate color areas and crisp outlines | Sports medals, commemorative medals, mascot medals, club awards | Soft enamel, imitation hard enamel, antique and color plating |
| Metal Stamping | Flatter, simpler logos and geometric designs | Low relief, sharp flat detail | School badges, academic pins, corporate logo badges, cap pins | Enamel colors, printing, engraving, plated finishes |
| Enamel Badge (Soft Enamel) | Logo badges and pins with metal outlines | Recessed color fill with visible metal border | Lapel pins, fraternal lodge badges, enamel pin collections | Soft enamel colors, plated or antique metal base |
| Imitation Hard Enamel | Clean, corporate-style badge programs | Flat, smooth and glossy color surface | Corporate logo badges, retail pin programs, brand merchandise | Gloss color fill with polished or plated base |
| Challenge Coin | Round commemorative and recognition coins | Embossed front and back with edge detail | Recognition coins, fire rescue and fraternal programs, milestone awards | Antique brass, silver, bronze and custom plating |
How to Specify a Custom Medal or Badge Order
These are the details we need to quote accurately and to hold the delivery date.
| Confirm This | Why It Affects Your Quote and Lead Time |
|---|---|
| Process and design depth | Die casting and stamping are different tool routes, and 3D relief needs a separate mold development stage. |
| Enamel type and number of colours | Soft enamel and imitation hard enamel follow different filling and curing steps, and each extra colour adds handling. |
| Diameter and weight | Size drives both material use and the ribbon, attachment and packaging format that can be used with it. |
| Ribbon and attachment configuration | Single ribbon, double ribbon, or ribbon plus hanger or display card each need separate assembly and matching. |
| Quantity per design and number of designs | MOQ is 1,000 pieces per design for custom medals and badges. |
| Packaging requirement | Poly bag, backing card, medal case, gift box or custom branded packaging changes both cost and handling time. |
| Target market and testing requirements | Testing documentation such as RoHS, EN71-3 or Prop 65 depends on the product and destination market. |
Custom Medals and Badges - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for custom medals and badges?
MOQ is 1,000 pieces per design for custom medals and badges. Sampling takes about 7 days after artwork and production details are confirmed, and bulk production typically takes 15-20 days after sample approval. For simpler designs with an existing shape, a lower quantity can sometimes be arranged - send us your artwork to confirm.
Which manufacturing processes do you use for custom medals?
We produce custom medals by zinc alloy die casting and by metal stamping, so buyers can match the process to the design. Die casting supports 2D, 2.5D and 3D relief with custom shapes and detailed color separation, while stamping suits flatter, thinner designs at higher volumes. Both processes are finished with polishing, plating and enamel coloring.
Can you make custom badges with our logo and enamel colors?
Yes. Send your logo as AI, EPS or editable PDF and our team will prepare a rendering for confirmation before tooling. Enamel colors are matched to Pantone references, and the logo can be raised, recessed, engraved or color filled depending on the process and finish you choose.
What is the difference between soft enamel and hard enamel badges?
Soft enamel is a slightly domed, gloss-filled color applied over recessed metal areas, and it gives the traditional collectible pin look with visible metal outlines. Imitation hard enamel is a flatter, smoother, more glossy paint-style fill that reads more like printed product and suits corporate and promotional programs. Both can be applied to the same die-cast or stamped badge base.
What ribbon and attachment options are available for custom medals?
Custom medals can be supplied with a single ribbon, double ribbon, or a ribbon plus an attachment such as a hanger, chain or display card. Ribbon color and width can be specified, and we can advise on the combination that fits your event format, for example marathons, school awards, corporate recognition or commemorative programs.
How do you control quality on custom medal orders?
Inspection is carried out through production rather than only at the end. We check surface finish, plating appearance, enamel color and relief detail, and confirm ribbon and accessory assembly before final inspection prior to packing. This keeps finish and assembly quality consistent across the order and before goods leave the factory.
What packaging options can you provide for custom medals?
Packaging options include individual poly bags, backing cards, medal cases, gift boxes and custom branded packaging. The choice usually follows medal size, ribbon or accessory configuration and the retail presentation you need for sports events, commemorative programs, corporate awards or retail shelves.
