Why This Medal Fits Charity and Community Events So Well
- This medal is especially suitable for charity runs and community race events because the handshake shape carries a direct and universal emotional message. Unlike abstract sports symbols, a handshake immediately suggests support, connection, encouragement, and shared purpose. That makes the design a natural fit for events built around fundraising, volunteering, neighbourhood participation, social care, or team-based challenge themes.
- The large-hand and small-hand interaction also adds more meaning to the medal. It can suggest adult-and-child participation, volunteer-and-runner support, mentor relationships, or wider community cooperation. This allows the medal to connect with a broader audience than a purely performance-focused race design.
- From an organiser’s perspective, this kind of medal gives the event stronger storytelling value. It is easier to explain in promotions, more memorable at the finish line, and more likely to be appreciated as a keepsake rather than just a generic finisher item. The current product page likewise presents this handshake medal as a Boundary Bay design that conveys community care, collaboration, relay spirit, and charity meaning.
Production Details
This custom race medal is produced through precision zinc alloy die-casting to form the handshake silhouette, including the larger hand, smaller hand, finger contours, and glove-like shape details. The irregular outline helps the medal stand out clearly from conventional round or shield-style medals and gives the finished product stronger visual identity.
The front is filled with red, white, and black soft enamel, creating bright colour contrast and a layered textured look. Because soft enamel sits slightly below the raised metal lines, the medal gains both stronger depth and a more tactile surface finish. Matte black nickel plating is applied to the metal borders and back side, helping the bright enamel colours appear more vivid while also giving the medal a modern, solid, and event-ready feel.
The medal is paired with a black ribbon printed with event wording, which helps integrate distance information and sponsor visibility into the award system. The current page specifically lists zinc alloy die-casting, red/white/black soft enamel, matte black plating, and a black printed ribbon showing “5K · 10K · HALF” and “Boundary Bay.”

MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
This handshake medal is well suited to medium and large custom race orders, especially for organisers running multiple participation categories or recurring annual events. In most cases, 100 pieces is the standard recommended starting quantity, while larger order volumes allow better price efficiency and more flexibility in custom details such as ribbon print, packaging, and category wording.
For charity organisers, schools, public institutions, and wholesalers, bulk production also makes it easier to unify medal style across 5K, 10K, half marathon, or relay groups while keeping the same symbolic design language. Bulk custom medal orders of 1,000 pieces or more may qualify for mould charge waiver, and we also keep moulds for up to 3 years for repeat production. This makes the design especially practical for repeat community events and long-term branded race programmes.
