The process of creating a medal, trophy, or award begins with the development of its design, which involves determining the type of material or materials, the shape, and the graphic elements to be included on the piece—such as the event title (competition, gala, contest, etc.), the type of ranking or achievement (e.g., 1st place, the franchisee with the highest sales, student of the year, etc.), the date, pictograms, and logos, among others.
In order to work on the graphics for these elements, designers need to know exactly what can be printed: numbers, words, logos? And colors—is there a specific palette, or can the client choose the color?
It can be all of that and much more—the only limit is creativity.

What can be engraved on our medals and trophies?

When it comes to printing and what can be printed on our pieces, the range of possibilities is vast; in fact, we can say it is limited only by creativity:
• elements such as simple characters: numbers, letters, words, within the limits of the space available on the piece;
• sets of numbers and words: dates, ratings, titles, names, etc., within the limits of the item’s available space;
• pictograms such as logos, icons, coats of arms, drawings, etc., within the limits of the item’s available space;
• photographs, such as that of the trophy from the 50th German Shepherd Morphology Competition of the Portuguese Club (photograph of a dog) or the medals and trophies for the Cimentados – Cimpor Trail Loulé (photograph of a bag of cement);
• color, without limits.

As experts in the field, we at Tributus know how to turn creativity into tangible products—in this case, medals and trophies—so share your idea with us and leave the rest to us.

A commitment to sustainability and the planet

At Tributus, our first and foremost priority is to contribute to the sustainability of the economy and the planet. It’s part of our DNA and our mission. This is demonstrated by our use of production techniques with low or zero environmental impact, such as laser printing.
But that’s not all:
• We choose materials from sustainable sources:
This means we use leftover materials from other industries (we have the advantage of being in Paços de Ferreira, the furniture capital) and that we select industries, suppliers, and partners from the region, reducing transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the local and regional economy, and contributing to the progress of the community in which we operate.
• We adopt methods and processes that enable a sustainable supply chain;
• We establish synergies with local organizations and companies, and support social cause projects.

Now that you know what can be printed on the medals, trophies, and awards we design and produce, feel free to explore our catalog. Then, get in touch with us; we’d be delighted to work with you to create the perfect piece for the event or gala you’re planning.
