A medal is one of the most personal forms of recognition there is. It hangs around a neck, gets pinned to a chest, or sits in a case where the recipient sees it every day. At Performance Trophies and Medals we take that seriously. Every medal we produce is made to communicate the significance of what the recipient earned, from youth sports participation to championship victories to years of dedicated community service.
Custom medals for championship victories, academic achievements, and dedicated service. Personal recognition, crafted to last.
A medal is one of the most personal forms of recognition there is. It hangs around a neck, gets pinned to a chest, or sits in a case where the recipient sees it every day. At Performance Trophies and Medals we take that seriously. Every medal we produce is made to communicate the significance of what the recipient earned, from youth sports participation to championship victories to years of dedicated community service.
The best medals are the ones that get kept. The ones that end up framed on a wall, passed around at a reunion, or pulled out of a box years later and shown to someone who was not there. That kind of staying power comes from the quality of the piece itself and from the meaning behind it. We focus on both.
Whether you are ordering twenty medals for a local 5K or five hundred for a regional tournament, we bring the same attention to detail to every order. Custom designs, precise die casting, durable finishes, and ribbon colors that match your event or organization.
Our most popular and durable medal type. Die cast medals are produced from a mold and offer exceptional detail, consistent quality across large quantities, and a solid feel that communicates real value. Available in a wide range of custom shapes and relief designs.
Spin cast medals offer excellent detail reproduction at a competitive price point. A popular choice for sports leagues and events that need a high quality medal in larger quantities without a premium die cast budget.
Stamped medals are produced by pressing a design into flat metal stock. A clean, classic look at an efficient price point. Well suited for programs with high volume needs or tighter budgets that still want a polished finished product.
Fabric chenille medals and enamel lapel pins offer a distinctive alternative to traditional metal medals. Popular for academic letterman recognition, club membership programs, and organizations that want something wearable beyond a ribbon medal.
Beyond standard round, oval, and shield shapes, we offer fully custom medal shapes cut to match your logo, mascot, event theme, or any design you bring to us. Custom shapes make your medal immediately recognizable as one of a kind.
Formal recognition pieces for military service, public service commendations, valor awards, and official organizational honors. These medals are produced to a standard that reflects the seriousness of the service they represent.

The medal itself is only part of the story. The ribbon color, the finish, and the engraving on the back all contribute to whether a recipient feels genuinely honored or simply handed something.
Medal ribbons are available in a wide range of solid colors, striped combinations, and custom color matches to align with your organization, school, team, or event. We will show you color options when you place your order and help you choose what works best.
Gold, silver, and bronze are the classic standards and remain our most popular finishes. We also offer antique gold, antique silver, two tone combinations, and full color enamel fills for custom designs. The right finish depends on the occasion, the design, and the look you are going for.
The back of a medal is prime real estate for personalization. Event name, date, placing, recipient name, and a short message can all be engraved to transform a production medal into a personal keepsake. We can also engrave on the face of a medal where the design allows for it.
Your logo, mascot, or custom artwork can be incorporated into the medal design for custom shape and die cast orders. Vector artwork files produce the best results and we will guide you through the artwork requirements when you inquire about a custom medal.

Youth football, soccer, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track and field, swimming, golf, and virtually any other sport you can name. We supply participation medals, placing medals, championship medals, and all star recognition for leagues and tournaments of all sizes across New Jersey and nationally.
Honor roll medals, academic achievement awards, subject specific recognitions, graduation mementos, and extracurricular honors. Schools appreciate our ability to match school colors, incorporate mascots, and deliver on the tight timelines that school year calendars demand.
Finisher medals are one of the most powerful motivators in endurance sports. Runners train for months partly because they want to hold that medal at the end. We produce custom finisher medals, placing medals, and age group awards for races of every scale from local charity 5Ks to regional running events.
Service milestone medals, safety achievement awards, quarterly recognition pieces, and team challenge coins are all within our medal product range. A medal communicates a different kind of recognition than a plaque or a trophy, one that is personal and wearable, and some corporate programs respond very well to that distinction.
Years of service commendations, valor awards, retirement recognition pieces, and public service honors for police, fire, EMS, military, and community service organizations. These are the orders we approach with the most care because the people receiving them have earned every bit of the recognition they represent.
Award ceremonies, volunteer appreciation events, community competitions, civic organization recognitions, and charity event participation awards. We work with community organizations of all types and take pride in supporting the programs that make local communities stronger.
Most medal orders are for events where many recipients are being recognized at once. We are experienced in managing high volume medal orders efficiently and price competitively for bulk quantities.
The more you order the better the per unit cost. We offer tiered pricing on medal orders with discounts beginning at various quantity thresholds depending on the medal type. Our most significant bulk pricing tier begins at 250 medals or more.
For large orders we recommend reaching out early to allow adequate production time, especially for custom die cast medals which require mold creation before production can begin. Standard catalog medals can often be produced and shipped on a faster timeline.
Buy 250 medals or more and receive exclusive bulk pricing. Contact us for details.
We understand that medal orders are almost always tied to an event with a firm date. We work backward from your event date to make sure your medals arrive on time.
Standard catalog medals are typically produced and shipped within a few business days of order confirmation. Custom die cast medals require additional lead time for mold creation and production, which we will communicate clearly when you request a quote. Rush production is available for most medal types, contact us to discuss your timeline and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
We ship medal orders to all 50 states. Local clients in New Jersey and the surrounding area are welcome to pick up orders at our Randolph NJ shop at 236 S Salem St during business hours.
