Outstanding Medal Quality
Brad King, operations director at IMG, which runs the Melbourne Marathon, said there were “a number of elements” which made him choose Badges And Medals.
“The quality of the medals and the production timelines is really important. Then what elevated them to the next level was the ethical policy they hold,” King said.


Sustainability That Makes a Difference
Badges & Medals sets the standard for environmentally responsible medal production:
-
Each medal helps remove two plastic bottles from the ocean through Plastic Bank.
-
50% of metal medals use recycled zinc alloy to reduce waste.
-
All shipping emissions offset through Cloverly carbon credits.
-
80% of packaging reused, recycled, or eco-friendly — avoiding single-use plastic where possible.
Marketing materials
Badges & Medals supplied ready-to-use promotional content, such as medal reveal videos and social media assets.
This allows the event team to build anticipation before race day, drive excitement on event weekend, and maintain engagement with runners afterwards.
