Short Intro
We create this custom graduation medal for school graduation ceremonies, class-year recognition programmes, academic milestone events, and institutional celebration projects that need a medal with stronger visual layering and a more modern commemorative style. Instead of relying on a fully traditional metal-only layout, we combine a die-cast zinc alloy structure with spray colour and raised UV printing to create a medal that feels brighter, more dimensional, and more school-specific. The stars, laurel wreaths, graduation cap, and sun motif work together to give the award a stronger academic identity, while the blue background helps the entire medal feel formal and celebratory. This design is especially suitable for schools that want a graduation medal with stronger colour impact, clear class branding, and a more premium keepsake effect.

Why This Medal Fits Graduation Events So Well
- We design this medal especially for graduation events because graduation is not only an award moment but also a symbolic transition. The stars, laurel wreaths, graduation cap, and rising-sun style centre work together to create a medal that feels optimistic, academic, and future-oriented. That makes the award much more suitable for school ceremony use than a generic commemorative medal.
- The blue spray-painted base plays an important role in that effect. We use it to create a deeper, more formal school-ceremony atmosphere, while the yellow, white, and silver central elements stand out more clearly against it. This gives the medal a stronger visual hierarchy and makes it easier to recognise in ceremony photos, stage presentations, and group celebrations.
- The combination of die-cast relief and raised UV printing also makes this design especially effective for graduation medals. It allows the award to carry school-specific text and year details while still keeping a more dimensional and tactile finish. For schools and organisers, that means stronger branding and better keepsake value. For students, it creates a medal that feels more personal and more memorable after graduation day.
Production Details
- We produce this graduation medal in high-quality zinc alloy through precision die-casting so the outer stars, laurel wreaths, and structural border details remain clean and sharply defined. This process gives the medal a stronger physical texture and a more stable three-dimensional base for the printed and colour-treated areas.
- We apply a professional deep blue spray-painted finish across the main base area rather than using a conventional plating colour. This gives the medal a more saturated and more customisable school-branded colour tone, while also keeping production practical for large institutional orders. The deep blue surface creates strong contrast for the brighter centre icons and printed school text.
- For the centre design, we combine sculpted die-cast shapes with raised 3D UV printing so the graduation cap and sun motif feel more layered and more tactile than flat printing alone. We also use high-definition UV printing for the school name and graduation-year information to keep the text crisp, durable, and easy to read on the painted surface. We complete the medal with a blue-and-white striped polyester ribbon attached by a durable metal clasp for comfortable ceremony wear and efficient bulk distribution.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this graduation medal in multiple ways according to your school identity and ceremony needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- school name, year, and class wording
- graduation cap, sun, star, or laurel layout
- centre graphic colours and spray-painted background tone
- logo, crest, or institutional branding
- ribbon colour, width, and stripe pattern
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for ceremony distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one graduation project, but also for annual class-year medals, school recognition ceremonies, alumni commemorations, and wider academic award programmes.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this graduation medal for both medium and large school orders, especially for organisers handling class-year ceremonies, academy recognition programmes, and recurring annual graduation projects. In most cases, 100 pieces is a practical starting quantity, while larger quantities improve average unit cost and make event-wide customisation more efficient.
For schools, educational institutions, procurement teams, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same medal structure while updating the year, school branding, or central graphics from one ceremony cycle to the next. This helps schools maintain a strong commemorative identity while keeping production stable and practical.
