3D polyresin Mardi Gras beads use a molded resin medallion with real dimensional depth, not a flat printed disc. Polyresin holds fine sculpted detail and can be hand-finished, which makes these throws feel like a collectible keepsake rather than a throwaway.
Dimensional detail and a premium feel
Polyresin is a molded material that captures raised edges, textures, and layered detail. Krewes and premium sponsors choose 3D medallions when they want a signature throw that recipients hold onto. The heavier, sculpted pendant reads as higher value and photographs well.

Sizes and Materials
Molded 3D medallions come in a few materials. A lightweight EVA foam 3D medallion prints in full color CMYK on one side and hangs from a 32 inch chain strand, while a polyresin medallion adds weight and a premium hand feel for a signature throw. Standard strands run 33 inch at 7mm, and heavier chain link strands are available for a richer look. These beads are not intended for children under the age of 7.
Best Uses
3D medallions work when you want a throw that stands out from flat printed beads, such as a krewe signature piece, a mascot, or a trophy style giveaway for a championship or milestone. The raised, dimensional shape reads in the hand and in photos. See related molded options on the custom shape beads category page.
Artwork Notes
Send a vector logo so the mold and the full color print stay crisp at medallion size. Simple, bold shapes translate best into a 3D form, so heavy detail may be simplified for the mold. Allow extra lead time for a new 3D mold. Call (877) 723-2348 to talk through your shape.
