Shape and size
Any shape you can draw
The laser cuts along your outline, so the medal can take any shape – at any size up to 10 × 10 cm.
Size, longest side
Circle70 × 70 mm
The round medal everyone knows from the finish line.
Teeth cut all the way round the edge.
Six straight sides with softened corners.
A crest outline for clubs and schools.
The edge follows the peaks of the design.
The sky is cut right out, so you can see through the medal.
Your own outline works too – a logo, a mascot, a number. Send us your shape →
Decoration
Engraved, printed or both
Pick a decoration and watch the medal change.
Engraved wooden medals
The laser burns your design into the surface, line by line. It comes out in a single tone made by the wood itself, with no ink.
UV colour print
Full colour printed straight onto the wood – a sky that fades from violet to amber, or a logo in several colours.
Engraving + colour
Colour areas from the printer, engraved lines for the detail. On this medal: a printed sky and sun, with engraved mountains, trees and runner.
You can combine them, and decorate both sides.
Ribbon, strap or cord
Three ways to hang it
Through a slot cut in the medal, the classic way with an eyelet and a jump ring as on a metal medal, or through a small round hole.

How our plywood medals compare with our 3D and 2D metal medals, side by side.
| Wooden | 3D medals | 2D medals | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Plywood | Zamak (zinc alloy) | |
| Thickness | 3 or 5 mm | 4–8 mm thick | |
| Relief | Flat, engraved | Sculpted relief, real depth | Two levels, sharp edges |
| Colour | UV colour print | Colour enamel | |
| Shape | Any shape, laser-cut | Any shape, casting die | |
| Production time | Same production time | ||
When metal fits
You want a sculpted relief, colour enamel and a medal with real weight in the hand.
When wood fits
You want your design engraved or printed in colour on flat plywood.
Cut from plywood instead of cast in metal – and your whole order travels in a lighter parcel.

One for every child at the finish, with your mascot or a big bright star on the front.
Charity and fun runs
Your cause’s logo and colours on a medal every participant keeps, whatever their time.
Outdoor events
Bike rides, hikes and obstacle courses – for a cycling day, a medal cut like a chainring.

Sports day, a club championship or the end of the season – your crest engraved on a shield.
Company events
A company run or a team day – your logo, cut in wood.

FAQ
Questions about wooden medals
Ask for a quote →Engraving or colour print – which suits our design?
Line art, lettering and simple logos read best as engraving. Logos with several colours or sponsor colours need colour print. See them side by side →
Can you use our club or event colours?
Yes, with UV colour print. Send your colours with the artwork – colour codes if you have them, or simply your logo.
Can the medal follow the outline of our logo?
Yes – send the logo as it is. We check fine details in the design proof. See the shapes →
What do you need from us to start?
Add a few words about your event. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) help, but you don’t need them. See how it works →
Wood or metal – how do we decide?
It depends on the look and feel you want – the comparison shows both. Compare wood and metal →
Can we ask for something that isn’t listed here?
Please do – names or numbers on each medal, samples, special packaging or a varnish, for example. These aren’t part of our standard offer, so we check each request with production and look for a solution with you.
