Custom Medal Hanger Types — Choose by Material and Display Style
Every medal display program has different requirements for budget, visual impact, and how the finished wall or shelf will look. The six categories below cover the most common procurement needs for race series, school sports days, running clubs, corporate wellness programs, and commemorative award displays
Most common for marathon and race finisher displays. A single sheet of metal is laser-cut to a custom silhouette — a runner, a mountain range, an event logo, a city skyline — then powder-coated for a durable, rust-resistant finish.
- Process:Laser Cutting + Bending + Powder Coating
- Finish Options:Brushed steel, black, gold, silver, copper, antique, or Pantone color match
- Section Note:When you need a custom medal hanger that balances durability, custom shape freedom, and reliable bulk production. We advise on metal thickness and hook count based on your medal quantity and wall mounting.
A warm, premium look for award ceremonies, gym displays, and home-office recognition walls. Solid wood is CNC-routed, sanded, sealed, and paired with an engraved metal plate or printed brand panel.
- Process:CNC Wood Routing + Staining / Sealing + Engraved Plate
- Finish Options:Walnut, beech, oak, birch; natural or stained; gold / silver / black hooks
- Section Note:Recommended when you need a custom medal hanger with a high-end, giftable presentation. Wood pairs well with trophy shelves and individual name engraving.

- Process:Metal / Wood Frame + Integrated Bib Pouch Hooks
- Finish Options:Laser-cut design; 20–40 bib pouches + 40–60 medal hooks

- Process:Frame Assembly + Fabric Backing + Medal Mounting
- Finish Options:Wood, black or white frame; clear acrylic/glass panel; custom layout and logo
- Section Note:Recommended when you want a clean, protected, gift-ready medal display.
The theme drives the design, not the distance. We start from your event concept and build the medal shape, color and finish around it, so the medal reads as part of the fun from the moment a runner picks it up.

Custom Medal Hanger Options — Configure Every Detail
A custom medal hanger is configured from the silhouette and material down to the mounting hardware. Each option below affects cost, timeline, and the finished look. Our design team guides you through the trade-offs before production starts.
Choose a standard rectangle, or a fully custom silhouette — runner, mountain range, star, crest, city skyline, or your logo outline. Length typically 6–30 inches
Iron or stainless steel for metal hangers, solid wood for premium racks, cast acrylic for full-color frames, or a metal-plus-shelf combination.
Powder coat or plating in black, gold, silver, copper, antique tones, or Pantone color match. Brushed steel for a natural metal look.
Hook count sized to your medal volume, from 15 to 60+ medals. Reinforced hooks available for heavier finisher medals.
Laser engraving for event names and dates, UV printing for logos, individual name engraving for multi-recipient orders, or etched patterns.
Holiday themes often branch into their own dedicated events. We produce a full Christmas running medals range for Santa, reindeer and jingle bell runs, and we can match a fun run medal set to a 10K or virtual running medal program so your whole event calendar stays consistent.
Factory-Direct Medal Hanger Production and Quality Control
Our production flow is designed for repeatable bulk quality across metal, wood, and acrylic. For metal hangers we control laser-cut edge quality and powder-coat thickness. For wood we check routing precision and finish consistency. For acrylic we verify print color accuracy and edge finishing. Every material has its own QC checkpoints.
Our design team reviews your logo, dimensions, material choice, hook layout, and finish preference. A 2D proof is prepared within 24 hours. For laser-cut metal, the cut file accounts for hook spacing and wall-load weight.
Metal: sheet metal selected to thickness and cut to size. Wood: panels CNC-routed and sanded. Acrylic: sheets prepared for laser cutting and printing.
Metal: laser-cut to silhouette and bent as needed. Wood: CNC-routed to shape. Acrylic: laser-cut and UV-printed with full-color graphics.
