  <h2>Why the medal owns the corporate recognition segment</h2>
  <p>The medal is the highest-perceived-value piece of recognition merchandise in the catalogue. A 75mm die-cast medal with antique silver finish and 3D relief carries the brand in a format that the recipient keeps on their desk or in their office for ten to twenty years after the event. Compared to a t-shirt that lives in the gym bag or a pen that runs out of ink, the medal is the recognition piece that sits in the recipient's line of sight every working day.</p>
  <p>We supply the catalogue brands that Mexican purchasing teams recognise — Insignia, Awardcraft, Signature Medals, and the equivalent Mexican-cut zinc-alloy medals out of Tlalnepantla and León for the Hecho en México tier. The 50mm antique bronze with enamel fill is the corporate workhorse. The 60mm polished silver with 3D relief is the executive gift tier. The 75mm polished gold plate is the milestone executive tier.</p>

  <h2>Pricing, MOQ, lead time and where we make them</h2>
  <p>MXN pricing before IVA 16%. Standard MOQ is 100 units for die-cast imports, 250 units for Mexican-cut zinc-alloy. Volume breaks at 250 / 500 / 1,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 units, with up to 40% off from 1,000 units. Standard lead time 15–25 working days; rush 7–14 days carries a +30% surcharge. Mexican cut-and-cast zinc-alloy is 5–6 weeks regardless of rush.</p>
  <p>Decoration hubs: die-casting and finishing in Iztapalapa and Naucalpan for the CDMX high-volume runs. Sublimation on ribbon in Tlalnepantla and León for the premium gift tier. Mexican cut-and-cast zinc-alloy in León for the Hecho en México artisan segment. Cross-border drops to Laredo file the USMCA supplier declaration; the same medal that walks out of a Silao plant for a US dealer event does not require re-invoicing in the US when the preference criterion is met.</p>
  <p>For US parent groups buying through their Mexican subsidiary, we invoice in MXN via SPEI; for US headquarters buying directly, we invoice in USD via wire with the IVA 16% line shown for acreditamiento where applicable.</p>
