What is the difference between a stock item and a custom product?
Stock items are all held in stock at our facility, we print, engrave and dome these items in house. Custom medals and awards are made to order.
Stock items are great if you need smaller quantities and have a tight lead time. Custom medals work better if you need larger quantities (100+) and have a longer lead time (4-12 weeks). Custom medals start to become really cost effective at larger volumes.
