How to Wear Military Medals?
Military medals are the highest honor in the military, including the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Military medals are mostly designed and made by the military department. If you look carefully, you will clearly find that there are fewer long medal ribbons used.
Because soldiers don’t wear them around their neck but in front of their chest. They usually use short medal ribbons. These ribbons are multi-colored. The size (1.25”)of custom military medals is small for easy wearing and beauty. Too large seems to be stiff.
Usually, lots of military award medals are worn. Military medals have a magnificent meaning for each soldier.

While you might think they're simply a design choice, the following information will explain the many factors involved in choosing the right medal size.
The Ultimate Guide to Designing Your Own Medals
What are custom medals? Medals are typically made of common metals, wood, PVC, or other materials, attached to a ribbon that forms the medal. Medals are round, but can be customized into any irregular shape and they are most commonly seen in sports competitions, with gold, silver, and bronze medals available. These medals are designed for specific competitions and are unique, holding commemorative significance.
However, medals are no longer limited to sports; they can be found all around us, as company incentives and event commemorations.

Why are custom medals so important? Medals symbolize recognition, and medals from major sports events, such as the Olympic Games, are highly collectible. Also, Medals themselves may be valuable, true value lies in the meaning people ascribe to them— the sense of accomplishment they bring and the honor and commemorative value they convey. Upon receiving a medal, people often display it on a cabinet or carefully store it in a box.
Custom medals can be permanently engraved with the competition theme, logo, and date. For example, a company's sales champion medal can be engraved with information such as the name and date. This physical gift of first place not only motivates employees to continuously improve but also fosters team spirit.
