Engraved Wooden Medals – Sustainable, Timeless & Made to Order

Our Engraved Wooden Medals are at the heart of what we do at Sustainable Medals. Crafted from responsibly sourced wood and finished with precision laser engraving, they offer a natural, eco-friendly alternative to traditional metal medals without compromising on quality or impact.

Designed for events that value sustainability, individuality, and thoughtful design, engraved wooden medals are a popular choice for sports events, schools, clubs, charities, and organisations looking to reduce environmental impact while still delivering a medal participants are proud to receive.

Crafted from Responsibly Sourced Wood

Each wooden medal is laser cut from high-quality, sustainably sourced wood and engraved directly into the surface. This creates a permanent, high-contrast design that won’t fade, peel, or wear away over time.

Wooden medals can be produced in a wide range of:

  • Shapes and sizes, for a bespoke award

  • Thicknesses, depending on the look and feel you want

  • Design styles, from simple text to detailed logos and illustrations

Because the material is natural, every medal has its own unique grain pattern, adding character and authenticity to each piece.

Precision Laser Engraving

Our laser engraving process allows for:

  • Crisp text and fine detail

  • Logos, crests, and illustrations

  • Event names, dates, distances, or categories

The engraved finish is subtle, tactile, and timeless, making wooden medals especially well suited to events that prefer a classic, understated aesthetic.

Why Choose Our Engraved Wooden Medals?

A Sustainable Alternative to Metal

Wooden medals reduce reliance on mined metals and energy-intensive manufacturing, making them a strong choice for eco-conscious events.

Fully Customisable

Every medal is made to order. Shapes, sizes, engraving styles, and ribbon options can all be tailored to your event.

Natural & Unique

No two medals are identical. The natural grain and tone of the wood ensure every medal is slightly different.

Perfect for running races, cycling events, triathlons, school sports days, charity challenges, and community events, engraved wooden medals work particularly well where organisers want a medal that feels thoughtful, sustainable, and personal.

If you’re looking for a medal that reflects your event’s values and tells a story beyond the finish line, engraved wooden medals are a proven and popular choice.
