Award manufacturers work to revolutionize the industry with the high-tech, innovative design and manufacturing processes used to create new custom awards. It reinvents the traditional concept of award creation. Instead of starting with a blank piece of acrylic and simply printing a logo on it, the new process designs and builds each piece from the ground up. Each design is based on a logo provided by the client. Full 3D renderings are provided within 3 business day. Once the design has been approved, state-of-the-art lasers cut each piece with unparalleled precision to create a one-of-a-kind award unlike anything offered in the industry in the past.

This is the most common used method. Mount a laser-engraved substrate to the plaque or laser directly ontothe wood’s surface, or engrave on wood directly. Laser settings depend on laser machine type, with many recommending a relatively low speed and less than half power. We can laser engrave words and images on wood that creates a nice contrast, or mask and paint-fill after engraving for unexpected color and contrast. Go the extra mile by engraving halftone photos or creating inlays on the plaque.

Sandcarve or sandblast a glass panel or marble that can be mounted off the plaque’s surface using complementary standoffs. Many times, to be able to see personalized info, color filling is recommended.

Rotary engrave a metal plate, preferably one that engraves a contrasting color, and mount it to the plaque with screws or double-sided tape.

Most people use brass or aluminum with oxidization.

Print onto any suitable substrate, then mount the piece to the plaque. Or print directly onto UV-printable wood substrates to create a directly printed plaque.

It’s very colorful and vivid. Can even have 3D look.
