Why plastic medals work for high-volume, every-participant events
Plastic medals are built for the events where every participant goes home with one.
The economics: moulded polymer is the most affordable hanging-medal format. When you're handing out 150-500 medals for a hari sukan or fun-run, the per-piece is what decides the budget — and plastic keeps it low.
The weight: light enough for the smallest Standard 1 finisher to wear home comfortably — no sore necks, nothing heavy to drop.
The look: metallic gold, silver, and bronze finishes read clean from across a hall, and a printed full-colour insert in the centre recess carries your school crest, sponsor logo, or position.
This is the right pick when you need a medal for everyone and the event branding is the keepsake, not the medal's heft.
