Q: What is the difference between cast and die struck award medals?
Answer:
The Die Struck process involves creating a stamping and trimming mold and die.
- A metal allow is placed over the mold and hydraulic pressure is applied.
- This process is suitable for medals that are smaller than 2.5" wide and 3mm thick
The Die Cast process is perfect for medals over 2.5" and thicker medals. If you have 3D in your design we may need to go with cast.
- Ideal or medals that are thicker than 3mm.
- Used mostly for national and international events where a substantial award medal is required
- same process the Conqueror uses for 4" award medals
