The difference between a regular medal and a custom medal is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. ** Degree of Personalization ** :
- Ordinary MEDALS are usually mass-produced standard products with a more generic design, suitable for mass distribution, and may lack personalized elements.
- Custom MEDALS are uniquely designed according to the specific needs of the customer and can contain specific motifs, logos, text and other information to meet the requirements of a specific event or occasion.

2. ** Purpose and Occasion ** :
- Ordinary MEDALS are suitable for general games or events, such as school games, small competitions, etc., and they are often designed to be widely applicable.
- Custom MEDALS are more often used for special events or commemorative occasions, such as company annual meetings, international events, important celebrations, etc., which often require a more symbolic and commemorative value of the item.

3. ** Design Complexity ** :
- The design of a normal medal is relatively simple and may only include basic information such as the name of the competition, the award level, etc.
- Custom MEDALS can have more complex designs, including unique shapes, intricate engraving techniques, color printing or advanced decoration such as gemstone setting.

4. ** Material selection ** :
- Ordinary MEDALS may use more common materials, such as copper alloys, zinc alloys, etc., and adopt standardized manufacturing processes.
- Customized MEDALS can be made of different materials according to the budget and requirements, from ordinary metals to precious metals (such as silver, gold), and even other materials such as wood, glass, etc., as well as different surface treatment techniques.

5. ** Cost ** :
- Due to the mass production, the cost of ordinary MEDALS is lower and the unit price is cheap.
- Custom MEDALS are more expensive because they involve more design work, special materials and handcraft, but also better reflect the value of the medal and respect for the winner.

6. ** Sentimental Value ** :
- Regular MEDALS can also express honor, but because of their universality and non-targeting, the emotional connection may not be as strong as customized MEDALS.
- Bespoke MEDALS, due to their unique nature, are able to record a particular point in time or achievement more deeply and therefore have a higher emotional value and personal significance.

In summary, customized MEDALS offer more flexibility and creative space than regular MEDALS, and can better adapt to a variety of different award scenarios and personal preferences.
