ETCHED SLATE MEDALS

Premium Etched Slate Medals – Natural, Weighty & Timeless

Our Etched Slate Medals offer a truly premium alternative to traditional metal medals, combining the natural beauty and weight of slate with precise, permanent laser engraving.

At Sustainable Medals, slate is chosen for its authentic texture, substantial feel, and timeless appearance. Each medal is laser etched directly into the slate surface, creating a crisp, high-contrast design that will never fade or wear away. The result is a medal that feels meaningful, durable, and built to last.

If you’re looking to move away from metal medals in favour of something with a more natural, understated, and premium aesthetic, etched slate medals are an excellent choice.

Crafted for Quality, Designed to Last

Each etched slate medal is precision laser engraved, allowing for sharp text, detailed logos, and clean line work. Because the design is etched into the slate itself, the finish is permanent and highly durable, making these medals ideal as long-term keepsakes.

Our slate medals are available in the following sizes:

70mm diameter
85mm diameter
105mm diameter

This flexibility allows you to tailor the medal to suit your event style and level of prestige.

Why Choose Our Etched Slate Medals?

Premium Weight & Feel

Slate has a naturally satisfying weight, giving these medals a solid, high-quality presence that stands out the moment it’s received.

Natural & Unique

No two pieces of slate are identical. Subtle variations in texture and tone mean every medal is slightly different, adding to its character and authenticity.

Permanent Laser Etching

Your design is engraved directly into the slate, ensuring exceptional durability with no inks, coatings, or finishes to wear away over time.

A Sustainable Alternative to Metal

Etched slate medals offer a lower-impact alternative to metal medals, making them ideal for environmentally conscious events and organisations.

Perfect for running events, outdoor challenges, endurance races, corporate awards, and commemorative occasions, etched slate medals are particularly popular with events that value substance, simplicity, and sustainability.

If you want a medal that feels meaningful, natural, and built to endure, etched slate medals are a powerful and distinctive choice.
