Medals have ranked as works of art since Greek times. Roman medals have a tradition of their own, as their medals are praised highly for their realistic portraiture. However, the trend of medals came back during the revival period of the Renaissance, through the fine work of Pisanello in particular. The democratization of arts, as it was observed by the great German social philosopher Walter Benjamin in his essay Arts in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, has given people the ability to make and create their own medals, without any supervision of a higher authority.
Therefore, various small and large organizations and even individuals can make their own custom medals. Many organizations need their own medals of unique content, shape and size, to award various competitors in events organized by them. There are many custom medal providers in the country who can render these organizations the perfect service that they want, in terms of providing them custom medals.
Some of the special custom design features are based on the wishes of the clients – whether they want custom designs on both sides of the medal, whether they want a cut-out design (that too on one side or on both sides), black lacquer finish designs or custom emblems with or without loops.
Some of the things that should be kept in mind before ordering a custom medal: one can call for quotes for any size or quantity not listed, and no charges should be taken for setup or art for single-face spin cast medals or medallions. In recent times the most popular custom medal is the 3D sculptured spin cast medal.
