Short Intro
We create this custom kids’ military style medal for youth organisation runs, school fitness events, junior charity races, and values-based community programmes that need a medal with both child-friendly appeal and stronger institutional identity. Instead of using a plain sports-medal layout, we combine a bright cartoon-style printed front with a serious 3D emblematic reverse so the medal can speak to children, parents, and organisers at the same time. With high-definition UV printing, matte silver plating, precision relief casting, and a fully branded sublimated ribbon, this medal feels cheerful, structured, and highly suitable for youth finisher recognition.

Why This Medal Fits Youth Running Events So Well
- We design this medal especially for youth running events because children respond more strongly to friendly characters, bright colours, and clear emotional cues than to formal medal graphics alone. The cartoon bear and sheep on the front make the medal feel approachable and rewarding, which helps younger participants connect with the event more easily and makes the medal feel like a celebration rather than only a race result.
- At the same time, we keep a stronger symbolic structure on the reverse. The 3D anchor-and-cross finisher emblem gives the medal more seriousness and helps it reflect the identity of the organising youth institution. This balance between playfulness and discipline is what makes the design especially effective for organisations that want to encourage children while still maintaining a recognisable group image and set of values.
- The full-colour branded ribbon strengthens that effect even further. By extending the characters, event identity, and colour palette into the ribbon, we make the whole award feel more complete and more memorable. That helps organisers create stronger event recall while giving children a medal they are more excited to wear and keep.
Medal Craftsmanship & Production Details
- We produce this kids’ medal with high-definition UV printing on the front so the rainbow, grass, cartoon uniforms, facial expressions, and background colours remain bright, smooth, and clearly layered. This printing method is especially suitable for youth medals because it reproduces complex colour gradients and illustrated character details much more accurately than standard segmented enamel. The printed surface is also described as scratch-resistant, which makes it more practical for active event handling.
- On the reverse, we use a precision 3D die-cast relief process to form the anchor-and-cross emblem and the “FINISHER” wording directly in metal. The textured relief background creates a strong tactile contrast with the smoother printed front, giving the medal a more premium dual-surface experience. This front-and-back contrast is one of the strongest functional and visual features of the design.
- We finish the zinc alloy base in matte silver plating so the front colours appear more vivid while the reverse relief keeps a more dignified and formal tone. We complete the medal with a full-colour dye-sublimated ribbon printed with the event name, logos, and matching cartoon imagery, ensuring the medal and ribbon remain visually coordinated as one unified award system.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this kids’ youth-organisation medal in multiple ways according to your event theme and branding needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- front character illustration and background scene
- reverse-side emblem, wording, and finisher message
- event name, year, and organisation branding
- matte silver, antique silver, gold, or other plated finishes
- ribbon colour, width, and printed artwork
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for event distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one Anchor Run-style project, but also for annual school runs, youth group events, junior charity races, and family participation programmes.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this medal for both medium and large youth-event orders, especially for organisers running annual school fitness events, organisation-based road runs, and recurring junior community programmes. In most cases, 100 pieces is a practical starting quantity, while larger quantities improve average unit cost and make event-wide visual consistency easier to maintain.
For schools, youth groups, organisers, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same medal structure while updating the year, characters, ribbon design, or organisation branding from one edition to the next. This helps maintain a recognisable event identity while keeping production stable and practical.
