Choosing trophies and awards: the essentials
Full buying guideDecide 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How your logo goes on
| Method | Best on | Minimum | Colours | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Engraving | Stainless steel and aluminium, Wood and bamboo | From 25 pieces | Single tone — the natural contrast of the material | 5–10 working days after artwork approval |
| UV Printing | Rigid plastics, Metal and coated steel | From 25 pieces | Unlimited — full CMYK, plus white ink on dark substrates | 4–8 working days after artwork approval |
