Soft Enamel vs. Hard Enamel for Cheerleading Medals
Choosing the right enamel finish affects the cheerleading medal's appearance, durability, and overall value. The best option depends on the award level and how the medals will be used.
|
Soft Enamel Cheer Medals |
Hard Enamel Cheer Medals |
|
Better visual impact: The recessed enamel areas create a textured surface with strong color contrast, making designs easier to see in team photos and large group displays. |
Premium and durable finish: The enamel surface is polished flat with the metal borders, creating a smooth appearance and stronger scratch resistance. |
|
For participation and placement awards: Suitable for large quantities where appearance, color options, and cost efficiency are important. |
For championship and special recognition awards: A premium choice for medals that need long-term display quality. |
|
More noticeable from a distance: The raised metal edges and color depth help designs stand out during award ceremonies. |
Cleaner and more refined look: Provides a high-end finish with a smooth, professional feel. |
|
More budget-friendly: Offers excellent design flexibility while keeping production costs practical. |
Higher durability and value: Better suited for grand champion medals or awards intended to be kept for many years. |
How GAG Designs Custom Cheerleading Medals - A Simple 3-Step Process
The cheer season runs September through May. Most competition organizers place medal orders between August and November, before the season starts. The busiest period is October to January, when production slots fill up quickly.
Global Art Gifts Co., Ltd. structures its design process around three fixed stages to keep timelines predictable:
Artwork Review (1–2 days). The organizer sends logos, division names, and color preferences. The design team creates a layout for the medal. For rotating medals, they check that text doesn't cross the rotation seam.
Digital Proof (1 day). A full-color mock-up is sent for approval. The organizer verifies text, colors, and logo placement. Up to three rounds of revisions are included at no charge.
Physical Sample (5–7 days). A production-grade sample is cast, plated, and assembled. The organizer checks weight, color accuracy, ribbon match, and rotation smoothness. Bulk production starts only after sample approval.
GAG's design team has produced over 500 cheerleading medal variations across the past five years and keeps a library of cheer-specific templates - megaphones, pom-poms, star shapes, crown motifs - that can be adapted to any event branding without paying for a new mold from scratch.
Ordering for the 2026–2027 Season
The 2026–2027 cheer season starts in September 2026. If you are planning a competition for October or November, orders should be placed by July at the latest. Mould creation, sample approval, and bulk production require 25–30 working days minimum for a single design. For events with 5+ division designs, allow 35–40 working days.
Global Art Gifts Co., Ltd. offers a multi-design discount for cheer competitions that order three or more different medal designs in a single purchase. This reduces the per-unit cost across all divisions and simplifies logistics by consolidating production into one timeline.
Send your division list, logos, and preferred finishes to the GAG design team. They will provide a quote, a timeline, and a design suggestion within one business day. No obligation, no pressure - just a clear picture of what the order will cost and when it will arrive.
