Process for Creating a Custom Award

The ordering process is structured in three steps. First, the client shares their vision with the design team, which sends free concepts for review. Then, the final design is approved, with the possibility of making adjustments, and production does not begin without the client's approval. Finally, the order is received, and it is shipped once completed. The company does not charge for concepts, mockups, or digital proofs.

Fully custom awards may require a one-time setup or mold charge, especially for cast metal or shaped acrylic, although these charges are typically waived for high-volume orders. Lead times vary depending on where the award is made: approximately 3 weeks plus shipping for domestic orders in the United States and Canada, about 30 days for overseas air shipments, and around 4 months for ocean shipments, the lowest-cost option.

Materials and Customization

The company works with crystal, acrylic, wood, metal, and stone. For crystal, it uses techniques similar to those used in Swarovski crystal coloring to closely match most PMS colors by tinting the material. Crystal is available in multiple stock colors, providing a cost-effective solution with faster turnaround, and clear crystal can also be customized with decorative techniques such as printing or color-filling the engraving.

Engraving, logo, and personalization are free and carry no setup fees. The company offers a 110% guarantee and free shipping on orders over $400.

Target Audience and Applications

The awards are aimed at companies, sports franchises, and charities. The catalog includes specific categories for events such as years of service awards, employee of the month, sales awards, golf trophies, and sports awards. The company also offers corporate awards, corporate gifts, and employee recognition awards.

Production time depends on origin: about 3 weeks in the United States and Canada, 30 days by air from overseas, and 4 months by ocean.
