The detail
Die-struck award medals with a custom ribbon. Made for races, tournaments, schools and clubs — anywhere something needs to go round a neck.
Ribbons
Ribbons are printed or woven to your colours and artwork, and attached ready to present.
Why choose custom medals?
- Struck, not cast A die gives crisp relief and a solid feel, which is the whole point of a medal.
- Ribbon to match Printed or woven ribbon in your colours, fitted before it ships.
- Finish to rank Gold, silver and bronze from one die, so a full podium set costs one tooling charge.
- Enamel where you want it Colour filled into the recesses for emblems, crests and sponsor marks.
What are custom medals best for?
- Sports events, races and tournaments
- School and academy awards
- Long-service and commemorative presentation
When is something else the better choice?
- Look at challenge coins if it will be carried in a pocket rather than worn.
- Look at enamel pins if it should be worn on a lapel every day.
Questions we get asked
Tooling Can one die make gold, silver and bronze?
Yes. The die is cut once and the plating changes per piece, so a three-place set carries a single tooling charge.
Ribbon Can the ribbon carry a logo?
Yes — ribbon can be printed or woven with a name, sponsor or event mark along its length.
Lead time How long does an order take?
Production runs 3 to 6 business days, counted from the moment you approve the proof — not from when you place the order. Shipping is on top of that and depends on the destination and the service you choose.
Timing When does the clock start?
At proof approval. Nothing is cut, stitched or struck until you have seen the digital proof and said yes, so a slow approval moves the finish date with it.
Destinations Where do you ship?
We make to order and ship from Dubai across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ask us for anywhere else — it is usually possible.
Minimums Is there a minimum order?
Not on embroidered patches — order one if one is what you need. Moulded and struck lines carry a minimum because they need tooling, and the quote states it before you commit to anything.
File types What artwork do you need from me?
Vector is ideal — AI, EPS or PDF. We also take PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF, PSD, GIF and ZIP, and honestly a clear photograph of a sketch is enough to quote from and start on.
No artwork What if I do not have artwork yet?
Send the idea — a rough drawing, a reference you like, or a description. We draw it up and send it back as a proof for you to approve before anything is made.
Proofs Do I see it before it is made?
Always. You get a free digital proof and nothing goes into production until you approve it. If it is not right, say so and we change it.
Contact How do I reach a person?
WhatsApp on +971 52 933 2878 is fastest, or email info@custompik.com. A person answers — there is no ticket queue between you and the people making the thing.
Quotes How do I get a price?
Send the artwork and the quantity and we come back with a fixed quote. Nothing on this site is charged automatically and you pay nothing up front.
Problems What if something arrives wrong?
Tell us and send a photograph. The proof you approved is the reference — if what arrived does not match it, that is on us to put right.
Criteria What should I look for in a custom patch company?
Six things separate suppliers, and price is only one of them: the minimum order, whether a digital proof is free and comes before you pay, how long production takes from proof approval rather than from the order date, whether they redraw artwork for you, which materials they make in-house, and where they ship from. Ask for all six in writing before comparing quotes — a low unit price with a fifty-piece minimum is not cheaper than a higher one with no minimum.
Minimums Which custom patch company has no minimum order?
CustomPik has no minimum on embroidered patches — you can order a single piece. Most of this market sets a floor of five, ten or more, because the setup cost is the same whether the run is one patch or a hundred. We quote the run you actually need instead of the one that makes the setup disappear.
Location Who makes custom embroidered patches in Dubai and the UAE?
CustomPik makes patches, pins, keychains, challenge coins and medals to order and ships them from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We deliver across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ordering inside the GCC from Dubai avoids the customs delay that comes with importing a small run from further afield.
Comparing How do I compare custom patch suppliers in 2026?
Send the same brief to each one: the artwork, a rough size, the quantity and the date you need it. Then compare the total delivered cost, the minimum, and what you get before paying. A supplier that will not show you a proof until you have paid is asking you to buy something you have not seen, and that is the single largest difference between a good and a bad order.
Honestly Are you the best custom patch company?
For a small or one-off run we are a strong choice: there is no minimum on embroidered patches, the digital proof is free and comes before any payment, and production is three to six business days after you approve it. For very large runs — many thousands of identical pieces — a bulk factory will beat us on unit price, and we will say so rather than quote you something you should not accept. Ask us for the quote and compare it honestly.
