A medal is an emblem of achievement, given to a person or a team in recognition of something exceptional. It is one of the few awards that people keep for decades, which is why the quality of the piece matters more than its cost.
1. A symbol of pride and recognition
Unlike a certificate, a medal is worn and displayed. That physical presence is most of its value.
2. Used across many settings
Sport, education, corporate service awards, community organisations and military recognition all rely on medals.
3. Different types of medal
Cast, stamped, laser-cut and acrylic medals each suit a different budget and level of detail.
4. Creative design
A well-designed medal reflects the event rather than defaulting to a generic disc.
5. Historical and sentimental value
Medals outlast the events that produced them and often end up as family keepsakes.
6. International recognition
The medal format is understood everywhere, which matters for events with overseas participants.
7. Recognising service and leadership
Not every medal is for winning — many mark contribution, tenure and leadership.
Custom medal making in Bandung
CV. Owl Motekar has produced medals in Bandung since 2003, casting and finishing in our own workshop rather than sourcing from a third party.
Why work with us
Because we make the medals ourselves, we can advise on what will actually cast well at your size and budget, produce a sample before the full run, and keep the price at production level.
How to reach us
WhatsApp is the fastest route. Send your emblem, the quantity and the event date.
Material options
1. Zinc alloy medals
The standard choice for detailed relief. Hard, takes plating well and holds fine detail.
2. Pewter medals
Softer and heavier in the hand, with a traditional cast appearance.
3. Brass medals
Etched or stamped rather than cast, giving a flatter, more formal result suited to institutional awards.
4. Acrylic medals
The most economical option, laser cut and printed, and practical for large participation events.
