Trophy Monster

Trophy Monster: in-house trophy design and manufacturing from St Albans

Trophy Monster is an online retailer and manufacturer of trophies, medals, plaques, statuettes and corporate awards. The company states that it designs and builds its awards itself, covering laser-cut acrylic, wood and metal work as well as printing, engraving and packaging, with almost all production carried out in-house. That setup, according to the company, allows it to handle anything from a single bespoke award to thousands of units for a national event.

The catalogue is organised around trophies, medals, crystal awards, shields and plaques, cup trophies, other awards, corporate awards, custom awards, custom medals and occasion-specific items. Products shown include football player of the match shield medals, triathlon trophies, engraved plates, medal ribbons, logo insert medals, acrylic domed logo centres, pistol shooting trophies, cat show paw trophies, heraldic logo insert shields and gold logo cups.

Customisation: logos, engraving and ribbons

Personalisation is central to the offer. Customers can add their own logo, submit artwork, choose from more than 40 ribbon colours and customise sizes, colours or text. The company also offers a design service for clients who want something not already in the catalogue. Free flat plate text engraving is included on all trophies, and free logo insertion is available on selected products, including school emblems. Custom printing is offered from a single piece.

Sports and client sectors

Trophy Monster describes itself as a specialist in football and golf trophies and states that it covers more sports than any other nationwide trophy retailer, listing basketball, dancing, canoeing and cycling among the disciplines served. Beyond sport, it works with schools, grassroots sports clubs, national associations, event organisers and global brands. The company also markets corporate awards such as bespoke glass trophies, engraved hip flasks and clocks.

Services beyond retail

Alongside sales, the company lists personal collection in store, a custom design service, safe transport, custom production, large-format printing of labels and markings, worldwide sales, cutting and milling, and graphics processing.
