Awards
Significant moments call for something beyond a plastic or disposable token. Establish a legacy with a perpetual awards design program to recogniza achievements year after year.
Awards can combine the personalization of a plaque with the prestige of a cast medal item like a logo, ring crest, or seal and feature them with a frame, shadow box, or wood mount. We also offer glass, crystal, and engraved wooden awards!
Our Awards Process
It all starts with understanding the achievement the awards represent. That helps us work toward the material selection, shape and size we’re looking for to create a meaningful design for the award.
We then work behind the scenes with our manufacturing partners to have the award design created to your exact specifications.
The customer reviews the custom award design proof, an upon approval, the manufacturing process begins.
FAQs
What are cast plaques / cast medals?
Cast plaques and medals are made in a specialized foundry in which hot molten metal is poured into specially designed molds to create beautiful, timeless works of art. The permanence of cast bronze or aluminum, combined with design versatility, make cast plaques an excellent choice for signage, memorials, and recognition projects. The age-old art of sand casting naturally features the attributes of the metal and conveys a sense of quality and tradition. Our cast plaques are made of either aluminum or bronze whereas our medals are usually spin-cast in zinc.
How do I maintain the beauty of my award?
Our awards are all coated with either specialized paint or a clear coat to protect the metal. You may routinely clean your plaque with a soft cloth and warm, soapy (dish washing liquid) water to preserve this coating. Avoid harsh or solvent-based cleaners as they could damage the coating. When in doubt, reach out to us anytime and we will gladly provide guidance.
How long should I expect my product to last?
