Custom Military Medals, Orders & Decorations

A military medal is a metallic decoration — typically struck or cast in brass, bronze or silver and suspended from a coloured ribbon — issued to recognise service, campaign participation, distinguished conduct or unit membership. Medals carry heraldic emblems, inscriptions and dates that identify the specific award, and are worn on formal uniform on the left breast or as a neck order.

We can reproduce custom regimental, association and commemorative designs of any kind. For official national orders, decorations and medals administered by the Crown or the Chancellery of Honours, those are restricted and only issued through official channels. We work alongside official issues by producing complementary unit pieces, replicas for display, and commemoratives that respect protocol.

There is no minimum. We strike single medals for individual retirements and posthumous awards, small runs of 10–50 for commendations, and bulk orders of several hundred to several thousand for regimental issue, anniversary programs and association membership.

Standard production runs 20–35 business days from proof approval. The free design proof itself comes back within 24 hours of enquiry. Rush schedules are available for parade dates, change-of-command ceremonies and ANZAC, D-Day, and Remembrance Day timelines — share your event date and we will quote an expedited path.

Cores in brass, bronze, pewter and zinc alloy, finished in 24K gold, sterling silver, antique gold, antique silver, antique bronze and oxidised copper. Enamel fills are available in hard or soft enamel in any heraldic tincture. Ribbons are custom-woven to your specified colours and stripe pattern.
