Premium Material Selection and Craftsmanship
The foundation of every personalised marathon medal lies in its exceptional material quality and craftsmanship. Each medal begins with carefully selected base metals, chosen for their durability and aesthetic properties. The most common materials include zinc alloy, brass, and copper, with options for precious metal plating in gold, silver, or bronze finishes. The manufacturing process employs state-of-the-art die casting techniques, ensuring consistent quality and precise detail reproduction. The plating process involves multiple layers, often including an anti-tarnish coating to maintain the medal's luster over time. Advanced surface finishing techniques, such as sandblasting, polishing, or antiquing, add depth and character to the design. The attention to detail extends to the medal's weight and balance, typically ranging from 80 to 120 grams, providing a satisfying heft that conveys quality and significance.
