Separate award levels clearly

Plan first, second, third, participation, and special awards before production. Clear award levels make sorting easier on event day.

Use safe and simple ribbons

For younger recipients, choose comfortable ribbon widths and avoid overly heavy medals. Color-coded ribbons can help teachers sort categories quickly.

Plan extra quantity

Late entries, damaged packing, or last-minute category changes are common in school events. A small backup quantity helps avoid shortage.

Label packing by group

Ask for medals to be packed by class, age group, or award level if the event has many categories.
