Metal Awards and Trophies in Cast Metal, Aluminum, Zinc and Pewter
Metal earns its place on an awards table because it carries weight and fine detail at the same time. Struck zinc keeps crisp relief after years of handling, and a plated cast body holds its shine under event lighting. The metal awards and metal trophies here include standing pieces, award bases, cast keys, struck medals and desk clocks. On some the metal is the whole piece, and on others it is the base or an inset accent under glass, acrylic or walnut.
How the pieces differ
Some awards are metal the whole way through. The Flame Award on Cylinder stands 11 inches, a 24k gold plated sculpted torch on a matching gold plated cylinder base, decorated by screen printing in one color at one location inside a 2.25 by 2.25 inch area. The Custom Shape 2D Key To The City is a flat pewter casting cut to your own outline up to 6 by 1-3/4 inches, with copy on the disc and a second position running along the shaft. Other pieces put the metal underneath. The Large Slanted Silver Metal Award Base measures 4.50 by 1.50 by 4.50 inches, weighs 2 pounds and carries a 3 by 1 inch laser engraved front panel under a crystal or art glass piece.
Metals and finishes
Cast metal carries the sculpted shapes, and pewter is cast into keys and award bases. Brushed aluminum turns up as bases, cylinders and inserts set into the front of a piece, while chrome appears on parts such as bases, holders and accents. Zinc is struck or die cast into pieces such as coins, medals, pins and charms, because it holds fine relief at small sizes. Finishes named on individual products include gold plate, antique silver, antique gold, antique copper, bronze-copper, nickel silver and black nickel gunmetal. Not every finish runs on every piece, so tell us the tone you want and we will confirm it on the item you pick.
Who orders them
Metal pieces go out for occasions such as groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings, league podiums and multi-event programs. The Diestruck Antiqued Medals come in 2 and 3 inch diameters with a blank stock-color ribbon included, so a finisher can wear one straight off the table. Buyers running a tiered program can set a standing trophy at the top and struck medals below it, and we quote each piece against its own decoration method.
