Wooden Medals For Every Type Of Event

One of the main things shown in the video is how flexible wooden engraved medals can be. They are not just for running events. They can work for schools, charity fundraisers, sports days, scout groups, community challenges, swimming clubs, walking events and more.

Whether you need a simple low-cost medal or a more detailed custom design, wooden medals give you a UK made option that can still feel personal to your event.

Budget Wooden Medals From 99p

The video includes our budget-friendly wooden medal options, which start from just 99p. These are ideal for schools, clubs, charity events, first-time event organisers, virtual challenges and events where keeping costs controlled really matters.

You can still create something meaningful without overcomplicating the order or stretching the budget.

Custom Shaped Wooden Medals With No Extra Custom Shape Charge

We also cover custom shaped wooden medals. These are a great way to make a medal feel more specific to your event, brand, route, logo or theme.

At Zero Waste Medals, custom shapes are available with no extra custom shape charge, giving organisers more creative freedom when designing their event medals.

Recycled Polyester Ribbon Options

Ribbon choice can completely change the final look of a medal. In the video, we show plain ribbon, printed ribbon, foil printed ribbon and recycled polyester ribbon options.

Printed ribbon is especially useful for charities, sponsors and events that want to include extra branding without changing the medal design itself.

Reducing Waste With Medal Returns Credit

Event organisers often have to estimate how many medals they will need before final attendance is confirmed. That can lead to leftover medals after the event.

To help reduce waste, we offer credit back for returned leftover medals. This gives organisers a more practical way to manage medal quantities while keeping future event costs down.
