Corporate Trophies & Awards buying guide
Decide who the award is for
Staff long-service and performance awards, client and partner recognition, event and sponsor trophies, and academic awards all use the same production process, but they need different framing. A client-facing award usually carries the client's name alongside yours and must look premium on their shelf. A staff award is internal and often part of an annual run with many names.
Choose the material
Crystal and acrylic are the two most common corporate awards. Optical crystal is heavy, clear and catches light, so it reads as the most prestigious choice for senior and client recognition. Acrylic is lighter, tougher and lower cost, which suits larger staff programmes. Metal plaques suit wall display and partnership recognition, and wood or bamboo gives a warmer, less corporate finish that schools and universities often prefer.
- Most prestigious: crystal with laser engraving and a colour logo.
- Best value at volume: acrylic.
- Wall display: metal plate on a wooden plaque.
- Sports and schools: medals with a printed or domed insert.
Personalising every award
Laser engraving is the standard for awards because it is permanent, ink-free and digital, so every piece can carry a different name, title and date in the same run. Send the names as a simple spreadsheet. There is no per-name surcharge. UV printing can add your logo in full colour on crystal and acrylic, and doming adds a raised, glass-like full-colour insert to medals.
Work back from the ceremony date
Award nights do not move, so plan from the date. Engraving takes 5 to 10 working days after the artwork and name list are approved, plus delivery. We produce one sample piece first so the font size, layout and wording are checked on a real award before the full list is engraved. It adds a day and prevents a whole batch being wrong.
Presentation
Crystal awards should arrive in fitted, padded boxes, which also double as the presentation box on stage. For large ceremonies we can pack and label each award by recipient in running order, so the stage team simply hands them out.

Corporate Trophies & Awards: questions buyers ask
Do you supply trophies and awards in both the UAE and Qatar?
Yes. We supply trophies and awards to companies across all seven emirates and across Qatar from our office in Ajman, UAE. UAE orders are invoiced in AED with 5% VAT, and Qatar orders in QAR without VAT.
What is the minimum order for corporate trophies?
From 25 pieces with laser engraving. There is no per-colour set-up, so small batches of personalised awards are practical.
Can every award have a different name?
Yes. Send a spreadsheet of names, titles and dates and each piece is engraved individually in the same run, with no per-name surcharge.
How long do engraved awards take?
5 to 10 working days after the artwork and name list are approved, plus delivery. Tell us your ceremony date when you enquire so we can confirm it is achievable.
Which award looks most premium?
Optical crystal with laser engraving, often with a full-colour logo added by UV printing. Acrylic is lighter and better value for large staff programmes.
Do you send a sample first?
Yes. One sample piece is engraved with your layout and a real name for approval before the full list is produced.
Can awards be packed in ceremony order?
Yes. We can label and pack each award by recipient in running order so the stage team can hand them out without sorting.
