A word that has to be earned to be hung

Nobody puts this above a collection of participation medals, and that is the point of it. It goes up after a title — a club championship, a county final, a division won — and it changes how everything else on the rail is read.

Two versions exist. This is the one bought by adults for themselves, usually after the season that finally went right.

A single title medal on a wide rail carries better than a crowded row of everything ever won. Some people hang only the ones that count.

The same medal display is cut in several widths. Buying as a gift? Count what is already in the drawer and go one size up.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Hanging a selection rather than the whole collection? Then buy for the selection, and buy narrow.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Putting it up

The standoffs hold it a centimetre off the wall, which is what gives the shadow line. Template, screws and plugs are included; you need a drill and ten minutes.

Once there is no space left

The proportions are drawn so that two units stacked or lined up look like one piece of furniture rather than an afterthought. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

When it arrives

Each medal hanger is made to order in the EU and leaves within 3–5 working days. Fourteen days to change your mind once it is in your hands.
