3D Die Cast Soft Enamel Medals For Marathon Finisher
Description
Technical Parameters
3D Die Cast Soft Enamel Medals combine a zinc alloy die-cast body with raised 3D relief details and recessed soft enamel color areas. The die-casting process creates a dimensional metal structure-including raised lettering, logos, runner figures, landmarks, mascots, and contoured borders-while soft enamel is applied to selected recessed zones to incorporate event-specific colors.
This construction is ideal for full marathons, half marathons, 5K/10K races, charity runs, corporate events, and annual running series. Every medal is fully customizable based on event themes, distance, dates, sponsor branding, and supplied vector artwork.
Factory Qualifications & Compliance
Audited Standards: ISO9001 quality management certified; Sedex and BSCI social compliance audited.
Manufacturing Experience: Official medal manufacturer for international marathon events since 2012.
Quality Guarantee: Pre-production physical sample approval and defined AQL inspection standards for every bulk order.
Why Choose a 3D Die Cast Soft Enamel Medal?ption
3D Relief for High-Detail Race Designs
Unlike flat 2D medals, die casting incorporates multiple depth levels into the metal body. This makes it possible to highlight sculpted mascots, city landmarks, dimensional logos, and raised lettering over recessed, textured backgrounds.
Precise Pantone Color Matching
Soft enamel is filled into recessed areas separated by raised metal borders to prevent color bleeding. Colors can be exactly matched using Pantone (PMS) color references to align with event branding.
Custom Metal Plating & Finishes
Exposed metal surfaces can be finished in Shiny Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze, Antique finishes (which enhance 3D contrast), Matte, or Custom Dual-Plating.

Manufacturing Process
Artwork & Production Review: Vector files are evaluated for 3D relief depths, line thickness, enamel compartment boundaries, and loop structure to resolve casting risks prior to tooling.
3D Mold Development: Approved designs are converted into precision steel molds establishing multi-level dimensional depths.
Zinc Alloy Die Casting: Molten zinc alloy is cast under high pressure to form the 3D medal body.
Deburring & Surface Preparation: Edges are smoothed and casting marks removed to prepare for surface finishing.
Polishing & Plating: Metals are polished and electroplated with the specified finish.
Soft Enamel Filling: Enamel colors are precision-dispensed into recessed areas based on Pantone targets.
Quality Inspection: Every batch is checked against AQL standards for casting surface quality, enamel coverage, plating uniformity, and dimensions.
Ribbon Assembly & Packing: Custom ribbons are securely attached and medals are packed per order requirements.
Quality Control Standards
Casting Inspection: Checked for incomplete fill, deformed edges, surface pits, or lost detail.
Enamel Inspection: Checked for missing fill, color overflow, uneven surfaces, or contamination.
Plating Inspection: Checked for peeling, scratches, discoloration, or batch variation.
Dimensional & Weight Inspection: Measured against approved production drawings.
Assembly Inspection: Tested for ribbon loop strength and correct attachment.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a 3D die cast medal and a flat soft enamel medal?
A: A flat medal features simple 2D artwork on a single level. A 3D die-cast medal incorporates sculpted multi-level depth, contoured figures, textured backgrounds, and dimensional borders directly into the metal frame.
Q: Can complex logos be converted into a 3D medal design?
A: Yes. Our engineering team reviews supplied artwork before mold production to ensure fine lines, text size, and color compartments translate clearly into a 3D metal structure.
Q: Can I approve a physical sample before mass production begins?
A: Yes. Pre-production samples can be manufactured and shipped for physical approval of the 3D structure, plating, enamel color matching, and ribbon quality prior to bulk run.
Q: How do you handle repeat orders for annual events?
A: We archive master production molds and reference samples for recurring races. This enables clients to reuse existing molds and maintain identical product quality while updating only time-sensitive text or logos.
Q: What is the standard lead time for sample and bulk production?
A: Sample production generally takes 7 to 10 days following artwork approval. Mass manufacturing typically takes 15 to 20 days, depending on total order volume and design complexity.
