Award engraving must be done professionally and as such it is important to select an experienced engraver that uses laser engraving that provides precision required for a stunning end result. The next consideration is the location of the engraver. It is best to select one that offers services in your town or province.

Acrylics Engraving

One of the benefits of acrylic awards is the versatility offered by the material. We can engrave the awards in front and at the back and can do reverse engraving. We can furthermore add a colour filling and through a process of screen printing can do so on the reverse as well. When combining engrave work with that of screen printing one can obtain a rather unique finish. To add to the end product, we can attach a plate to the award base and have a name of title engraved on such.

Lapel Badges

Whether you want the specific department or for instance, medical group logo to appear on lapel badges for your staff you will be pleased to know that we offer laser cutting and screen printing services for such badges. We have die cast and sticker badges in a variety of shapes and sizes. In addition, we can custom make badges for clients whether they want a unique shape or one of the standard types. Various backings can be used such as clutch or clip on.

Quality and variety should be the two main considerations for corporate and award engraving work.

Looking for the ideal corporate award? A few considerations in the selection of such awards are briefly discussed below:

How to Select the Most Appropriate Corporate Recognition Award

Consider the type of recognition that should be awarded. If it is for the Company Secretary of The Year, you will want to add a feminine touch. Glass awards are better suited for the purpose since wood plaques have a rather masculine feel to it. Likewise, if the award is for recognition for the best Production Manager in a manufacturing plant where the possibility is that the person receiving such will be male, go with the wooden plaque.

Glass and Wood

Glass, however, is not only suited for females, but the figurine can determine the purpose. You can create a glass sculpture of the product that your company sells. You can also use one of the more generic types and have a golden name plate added to the base.

Marble

Marble trophies are well suited for any type of corporate award ceremony. More abstract designs are recommended to ensure a professional end product. Elegance and a modern touch are associated with such awards which are perfect for managers.

Framed Certificates

Apart from wooden plaques you can also opt for framed certificate awards which look excellent on the desk of the employee or against the wall of one of the departments. Certificates offer more space to provide details regarding the corporate award.

Resin and Crystal

Resin trophies are perfect for figurines such as a boots& ball, eagle or an Oscar and can be made in various sizes. Crystal trophies are amongst the most popular corporate awards simply because of the elegance associated with such. From small to extra large sizes are available.

Acrylic Trophies

Acrylic trophies offer the same beauty as crystal trophies and are perfect for the company that has to give corporate recognition to several employees at an award ceremony. Simply review our many awards to get a feel for what is available for such.

Trophy & Medal Boutique makes use of high quality laser cutting, alternatively known as laser marking to engrave objects, ensuring stunning end-results. Precision work ensures that detail is highlighted. It is the ideal method for marking products where printing upon will not be possible.

Trophies, medals, company name bars, key rings, and badges are amongst the items where quality laser cutting can be used for the purpose of marking and branding. Laser cutting used in the above manner is also known as laser engraving.

High Quality Laser Cutting On Wood

Images can be engraved on wood such as oak and maple. The process of engraving on wood is known as image burning.  Burning can also be done on fibre board as well leather goods.

Engraving on Plastics

Acrylic plastics can be engraved although we don’t recommend quality laser cutting on styrene products as these items tend show signs of melting at the laser points. You want maximum contrast to ensure detail and as such surfaces that are at risk of showing ripples or soft edges are not suitable. Bakelite is also suited for quality laser cutting, but plastics such as silicon based plastics should not be engraved.

Metal, Glass, & Jewellery Engraving

Silver coated metal can be engraved and a stunning end-result is possible. Glass is normally sandblasted because laser cutting tends to create fractures, but with precision work it is possible to also apply quality laser cutting or rather marking and engraving on glass items such as glass trophies. Both curved and flat surfaces can be engraved by means of laser technology ensuring that jewellery can be marked as well.

We offer high quality laser cutting services to brand promotional items, gifts, trophies, medals, key rings and badges, all of which are available from Trophy & Medal Boutique. Contact us for more information and quotes.

There are two items that are generally used in sport awards. The first are medals that can be awarded to sport champions on an individual basis. This is the simplest and least expensive route that you can choose. The second is to have trophies made for your sport awards.

Trophies are more suitable for team awards although they can be used on an individual basis depending on the level that has been reached by the sports performer. Individual medals can be presented to specific sport team members in addition to the trophy that the team receives.

To find out whether medals, trophies or both these items will best suit your requirements for sports awards, please contact us.

There are few things that can give you a sense of accomplishment than receiving awards for all your hard work. However, there is one simple factor in receiving awards that can detract from this feeling of self worth and that is being rewarded with cheap, poor quality awards.

Cheap awards will give the person being rewarded the feeling that he or she just isn’t worth the expense of a good quality award. Choose the awards that you will be presenting to your highest performers and achievers carefully and ensure they reflect the value that you place in these people.

To ensure that the awards that you choose reflect the right message to the people they are being presented to, you can contact us.

When you are looking for award engraving services there are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind. First determine whether the manufacturer of the award can offer you engraving services on their premises. This cuts out the need to collect the award and take it to another professional engraving expert.

Additionally, you need to find out what types of engraving your supplier can offer you. Most engraving artists will be able to offer the normal engraving of words in a variety of fonts while other can offer the engraving of company logos or other images that you would like engraved on your awards.

For more information on award engraving services to meet your requirements, you can simply contact us.

One of the best ways in which to award a valuable member of your organisation is to present them with a plaque at and awards ceremony. A plaque has great value as it will last long and can easily be hung on a wall or displayed in a cabinet. However, it is very important that you have the right type of Pretoria award engraving done.

Don’t just settle for regular engraving depicting the name of the person receiving the plaque and the details of the award. Find Pretoria award engraving services that can add your company logo to create a plaque that looks distinguished.

To find both regular and logo Pretoria award engraving services for plaques and other types of awards, please contact us.

Even the best sometimes make mistakes and succumb to human error and while most mistakes can be rectified, this is a different story with professional award engraving. Once a plaque, trophy or other type of award has been engraved it can be very difficult or even impossible to erase or correct any errors.

It is therefore of utmost importance that you ensure that the details for the professional award engraving are correct before the engraving process starts. Remember to pay careful attention to the spelling of names, places and organisations that will be included in the engraving.

Make sure that your professional award engraving is done right the first time simply by contacting us.

Remember to enquire about the wide range of materials that can be used to produce awards in Gauteng. More traditional materials such as bronze or other metals for trophies are still very popular to present as awards. However, materials such as glass and Perspex are also becoming more and more in style to be used for awards. These materials can be sand blasted to give them a better texture and depth than your traditional materials and trophies. Glass and Perspex can also be moulded and shaped to suit a number of creative and innovative designs.

For something a little different for your awards in Gauteng with different materials and production techniques, please contact us.
