It’s no secret that custom medals and trophies are quite popular owing to their low pricing, high-quality design and style options, extensive customization capabilities, and many applications. Whatever the event, personalized trophies are the ideal way to enhance it! They are ideal for people and groups of all sizes and may be tailored for enterprises, private organizations, and associations.
They’re suitable for various uses, from sports teams and leagues to private clubs and business offices, and provide unparalleled versatility. In general, personalized awards and trophies provide the ideal balance of quality, value, and affordability, which is becoming more difficult to find these days. Here are some examples of customized awards.
- Awards in the Form of Custom Sculpture
Custom sculpture awards are our most traditional kind of custom award. Because our firm began as a sculpture fine-art studio and foundry, sculpture awards are our specialty. We are capable of creating sculptural awards in an almost infinite variety of designs, sizes, and finishes. Bronze and pewter are the two metals that we most often utilize to construct these sculptures. Choose from a variety of metals for your custom awards.
Bespoke sculpture awards are, on average, somewhat more costly than other custom alternatives. Additionally, they need the greatest lead time since an initial model must be sculpted, followed by the rewards flowing through a typical casting process.
- Made-to-Order Awards
Unlike cast bespoke sculpture trophies, fabricated awards are handcrafted one at a time. This form of the award is often selected by organizations that want to give a one-time prize rather than an annual award, for which it would be prudent to maintain a model on hand. However, fabricated awards may be manufactured on an annual basis. Fabricated awards often have a quicker lead time than bespoke sculpted awards since they are manufactured without a model, mold, or casting process.
One of the most frequent types of fabricated awards is custom-cut metal, which is created by cutting bespoke pictures from massive sheets of high-quality steel using a high-precision laser. Custom-fabricated prizes come in various sizes, from little medallions to massive, architectural-scale pictures that may be placed on a wall or exhibited in a lobby.
- Personalized Crystal Awards
Custom crystal awards often have the lowest overall cost and the quickest turn-around time of any custom recognition alternatives. Traditionally, these crystal awards take the shape of a geometric block of crystal with unique engraving. These blocks are available in a variety of pre-cut polyhedral forms. As an option, we can cut these crystal blocks into unique forms at an additional cost and wait time.
Custom engravings for these trophies are available in two distinct configurations. A two-dimensional picture engraved on the award’s surface or within the award’s body, or a three-dimensional image etched inside the crystal block itself, creating the illusion of the item “floating” inside it. The three-dimensional graphic provides the award with a distinct viewpoint from every angle.
- Plaques
Plaques are one of the most customizable and popular forms of custom awards. They are ideal for a variety of events and are constantly in vogue. They can be used for various occasions and events by sports teams and leagues, including thanking a special coach who made a difference, congratulating a team on winning a championship or defeating a longtime rival, and highlighting the accomplishments of specific players at the season’s conclusion.
Plaques are extremely popular as corporate awards with their stylish appeal and tasteful designs. They can be used for various occasions, including thanking an employee for their years of service, celebrating promotions and work anniversaries, and rewarding a long-serving employee at their retirement party.
- Medals
Medals are a less conventional but very popular alternative since they are enjoyable, inexpensive, and distinctive. Not surprisingly, they are quite popular among sports teams and leagues and may be utilized for special events and occasions such as championship celebrations and commemorating individual players’ accomplishments. They are also popular outside of sports in business offices, clubs, and volunteer and philanthropic groups.
When creating a custom award, it’s important to remember that “custom” implies that you may have whatever you desire for your business. Your award should be unique in appearance and feel; it should honor your organization, the honorees, and the spirit of the award.
