Custom Die-Cast Medals vs. Die-Struck Medals

Die-Cast: Molten metal (usually zinc alloy) poured into a custom mold.
- Best for: Complex 3D designs, internal cut-outs, varying thicknesses, and integrating enamel color fills seamlessly.
- Appearance: Can achieve highly detailed and dimensional results, often feels substantial.
Die-Struck: Metal (like brass or copper) is stamped with a die to create raised and recessed areas.
- Best for: Sharp, crisp details on flatter surfaces, classic metal-on-metal look without color, or when precise replication of fine text/logos is key.
- Appearance: Often has a more polished, traditional “coin-like” finish.

Choose die-cast medals when your design demands intricate 3D elements, unique shapes with cutouts, or vibrant color fills for maximum impact.
