Custom Engraving Options

Virtually all of the customers purchasing our unique awards choose to personalize their recognition awards by incorporating a customized engraving on the marble bases of their awards. These engravings can incorporate a virtually unlimited number of text and graphic options. For example, the engraving might contain the name of the recipient, the name of the award, the name of the presenting organization, and/or a special phrase or saying. In the case of corporate awards, the text may contain the company tag-line, motto or logo.

There are two ways to incorporate a personalized engraving on these unique awards:

Engraved Etchings in the Award's Marble Base

The first, and most common, option is to have the engraving etched into the black marble base of the awards. The etching can be filled with either gold fill (see photo above) or silver fill (see photo below left). Generally, it is a good idea for the fill cover to match the finish of the unique awards - silver fill for pewter or silver-plated pewter sculpture awards, and gold fill for gold-plated pewter and bronze sculpture awards.

Engraved Plates Affixed to the Award's Base

The second option is to have a laser-engraved plate attached to the base of the unique awards (see photo below right). This plate can be either silver- or gold-plated. The advantage of the laser plate is that it is able to hold more text characters, and can contain color images (a color corporate logo, for example).

Customers of our unique awards have been thrilled with both of these options - either choice can make for a great presentation. Our consultants work closely with our customers to ensure that their award engraving adds to the beauty and impact of their awards and award presentation.
