What is Recessed Enamel or Soft Enamel Ink Fill?
A brilliantly vibrant effect and one of our most popular branding styles for custom medals. We iron stamp your design into the shape of the medal and then fill sections of it with Pantone colour-matched enamel ink, this creates a beautiful and extremely long-lasting finish. The main difference between soft enamel and hard enamel is that soft enamel is recessed to give an almost 3D look and feel, where hard enamel has raised ink that gives it a more flat look and feel.
What is Raised Enamel or Hard Enamel Ink Fill?
A beautiful and durable effect, this method is a long-lasting alternative to our other branding styles for custom medals. We iron stamp your design into the shape of the medal and then fill sections of it with Pantone colour-matched enamel ink. The main difference between hard enamel and soft enamel is that hard enamel has raised ink that gives it a more flat look and feel, where soft enamel is recessed to give an almost 3D look and feel.
With both enamel styles, we use colours that are matched to the Pantone+ (Solid Coated) "C" colour library.
How It Works
Our graphic team is happy to take your logo or vector artwork and turn it into a stunning custom medal design, and in some cases we can even trace an image to make it suitable for medal production (vectoring fee may apply).
If you're thinking of submitting your own production-ready artwork, there are a few things to consider when designing custom medals:
- All ink fill areas should be at least 0.4mm diameter for soft enamel, or 0.5mm for hard enamel
- All metal colour-separation lines should be at least 0.125mm wide for soft enamel, or 0.25mm for hard enamel
- We use inks to match the Pantone+ (Solid Coated) "C" colour library, so all CMYK or RGB colours would need to be converted
- Since enamel medals can only accept solid colours, we can't use gradients or half-tones on the artwork, but if you want to achieve a more photographic style medal then we recommend our Full Colour Printed Medals

The Impact of Custom Medals in Brand Recognition
Whether you are a business owner in Ottawa, run a dance company in Toronto, or organize fundraisers across the country, medallions bring a lasting way to commemorate your event. These pieces are more than just branded swag; they are symbols of achievement, pride, and connection. By distributing medals in bulk you can give your participants something to treasure while keeping your logo or message on display with each viewing.
Information & Tips for Effective Design
Below is useful information for designing, what is available, guidelines, and what to avoid.
- Sizing: The most popular size is 3”, giving you a practical piece with a generous surface for your logo. Smaller and larger options are also available, as these items are fully customized to your needs.
- Custom Shape: These products can be cut to a custom shape, giving you unique, die-struck medals for your promotional event. For best results, we recommend no thin extensions and keeping the shape somewhat simplistic.
- Metal Finish: Dynamic Gift Canada offers over 20 finish options for custom logo medals, including popular choices like Antique Silver and Shiny Gold. Aside from classical finishes, there is also rainbow plating and custom colours available for your selection.
- Ink Fill: Raised and recessed enamel are available on this product, giving you the choice between a smooth, level finish or a more 3D, textured style of branding. For best results, all ink fill areas should be at least 0.4mm diameter for soft enamel or 0.5mm for hard enamel.
Key Industries that Utilize Personalized Medals
While these items have a wide range of promotional applications and purposes, some industries utilize customized medals significantly more. Below are a few of those businesses, along with how enamel medals in Canada bring benefit to their professional sphere.
Schools & Educational Settings
Whether it's a campus social event or an end-of-year award ceremony, branded medals are a popular item for metal giveaways. Used to mark achievements and reward those who participated, they are also a great way to foster school spirit and a sense of pride.
Fundraisers and Charity Events
Fundraisers, who rely perhaps the most heavily on community, can give these pieces out to those who raised donations, to the donors themselves. How about those participants who got up on that chilly morning to take part in your charity run? Custom marathon medals are an excellent way to commemorate these sacrifices and achievements for those raising awareness for your cause.
Sports Teams and Clubs
Win or lose, morale is essential to teamwork, and medallions provide a physical way to recognize those who ran hard or scored that goal. Items like soccer tournament medals are used to motivate players, reward those who completed a season, and, of course, recognize those MVPs that went above and beyond.
Dance Groups and Competitions
Dance is a popular activity, and custom medals for Canadian dance competitions provide commemorative items to take home.
