Corporate Award Products Available For Recognition Ceremonies

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.

Popularity Of Cup Trophies As Awards For Sport & School Events

Cup trophies will never lose their appeal, especially in the school environment where tradition is kept regarding the awarding of appropriate trophies. Who can forget the olden days of award ceremonies when the awards were arranged on a table and you waited your turn to be called?

The same prestige associated with cup trophies back then is still applicable today. The size of the cup, the shape and whether it is silver or gold still provide some indication of the importance of the performance.

As such it is understandable that cup trophies are still amongst the most preferred awards at schools, colleges, sport clubs, and universities. Just take a moment to think of the World Cup Soccer trophy or perhaps World Cup Rugby award. The sheer size of the award, coupled with the prestige of being the holding team of such an award for a year to five years, makes it worth all the effort for the athletes.

The Cost of Trophies and Awards

For understandable reasons, one will want to consider the cost of making such a trophy, which is especially true when having to award several such trophies at one ceremony. The good news is that with the new technology of today, the cost of production can be kept at an affordable level. Durable materials are used ensuring no rusting or oxidation. In addition, one can still add a plaque at the bottom base.

We as a leading manufacturer and supplier of top quality awards and trophies for corporates, schools, clubs, and community organizers, have the experience, tools, and skills to produce custom and large quantity awards.

Whether you want a glass award or one of the more traditional cup trophies you will appreciate our range and the affordability associated with such.

Creative Wedding Favours To Thank Your Guests For Attending The Celebration

If you really want your guests to remember the special day for all the good reasons then they should be treated to high quality creative wedding favours.

Some ideas are shared below to help you select creative and stunning looking wedding gifts to thank the guests for their gifts and presence at your marriage celebration.

Key Rings

No doubt, engraved key rings are always a winner and ensure that the guests will think of your wedding day for a while. The secret here is to select stylish key rings, either engraved or moulded. Don’t go for too big as many guests will want something that can easily fit in their bags, and will not be too heavy.

Coaster Sets

No doubt all the guests will love the décor and special touch with creative wedding favours such as glass coasters, wooden personalised coasters or metal engraved coasters. In this way you show that every guest is special and at the same time get to decorate the table in style. The coasters can be heart shaped or perhaps in the form of little photo frames ensuring that they can use the items again and again and further personalise them for their own use.

Place Card Holders

Trophy & Medal Boutique specialises in the creation of unique awards, corporate gifts, branding products and gifts. With that then it is possible to even customise placeholders and name tags in metal ordered from us.

Creative Personalised Wedding Favours

Why not print or creatively engrave the names of guests on small bags which contain gifts? You can also add little glasses or diaries to their bags ensuring that they will remember the day for a long time. Instead of just putting wedding favours on the table, award them with little gift bags.

Tips On Selection Of Creative Wedding Gifts That Will Be Appreciated

Instead of giving the normal gifts of cutlery, kettles, and ash trays, why not consider more creative wedding gifts such as an engraved glass or a glass trophy? Instead of giving something that will be used without any thought of who gave it or perhaps just put away, give something that will stand out and will ensure that the couple has something to remind them of the special day for the rest of their lives.

Personalised Gifts

A stylish set of glasses in a wooden box with engraving done on the box ensures that the man in the house will love the gift forever. Creative wedding gift selection is about thinking outside the box. By personalising any of the gifts that you plan on giving that day through a personal message, the date, occasion, and the couple’s name engraved you ensure that the gift will eventually also become a family heirloom.

Stylish Smaller Gifts

Another idea for creative wedding gifts is that of a special key ring custom made at a supplier such as Trophy & Medal Boutique. They will want a key ring for the home and if it is done stylishly will appreciate it even more.

Awards

Trophies are not only awards, but make for special wedding presents as well. Don’t just think about the normal trophy; think about wooden plaques, glass trophies, moulded figures and even wedding bells. Also consider a his and hers DIE cast belt buckle or perhaps you want to go further for the business couple with a set of diaries and business planners in leather and engraved.

Consider travelling bags with their names engraved. Honeymooners will love to have bags and you can even go a step further by selecting travel cases and ensure that their names are engraved, embroidered or attached on golden or silver metal badges. Creative wedding gifts are about personalization of the gifts possible when selecting unique items and presentation thereof as available from Trophy & Medal Boutique.

Tips For Beautiful Wedding Invitations Which Are Still Affordable

If you are looking for tips regarding beautiful wedding invitations then the guidelines below may just appeal to you.

Engraved Stationary

Some of the most beautiful wedding invites have been done through engraved stationary. Engraving is an old art, perfected through the ages and with modern technology available can be done in larger format and in a shorter period. The romantic undertone, as well distinguishable qualities are two of the main characteristics of engraved stationary. It is an art, best done by professionals such as Trophy & Medal Boutique, a company that has been around since 1989 and has already built a solid track record of quality engraving.

Select a Theme

It doesn’t matter how beautiful the wedding invitations are, if the invites don’t support the underlying theme and colours of the planned ceremony and reception, you will have to work harder to create a coherent theme. By ensuring that the same theme is applied to the invites you already create the atmosphere for the special day to come. Take time in planning the colour scheme and underlying theme.

Guest List

Know that your budget will be determined by the type of wedding invitations, the supplier selected and also the number of guests you invite. If you plan on a royal type of extravagant affair, you most probably don’t’ care too much about budget, but if you are a normal couple, it makes sense to determine how many invites will be needed. For small intimate weddings engraved wedding invites will be perfect. If you want to go large then it will still be perfect because of the technology used ensuring affordability.

Now that you know how many guests, the theme and colour scheme, get to an engraver to craft the most beautiful wedding invitations.

Affordable Wedding Invitations Without Compromising On Quality And Uniqueness

In a world where prices are high, you will want affordable wedding invitations without compromising on the uniqueness of the stationary. For this purpose engraving is one of the best methods for creating unique stationary that will ensure that every guest on the list will be impressed without your budget being depleted.

The secret to creating such unique, but rather affordable and stunning wedding invitations is to select the right service provider. The company must have a track record of engraving, embossing and DIE cast metal production. You will want to go with a reputable company simply because you don’t want to wait for the products just to be disappointed with the quality.

A wedding is one of a kind event and through the invitations sent you set the standard for the event. In many instances, the invitation quality will determine who will come and who will stay away. You expect people to travel far for joining in the celebration of a new marriage. They expect quality invites which show that you have taken the time to care about them. Nothing reflects care more than high quality engraved stationary from a trusted supplier in South Africa.

Affordability of wedding invites should never be the first consideration, but rather should be something that you consider in line with the choice of invites. You can go and buy mass produced invites or use a normal print template for the creation of invites, but if you want to stand out from all the other wedding couples in your family or circle of friends, then quality engraved stationary will do the trick.

Make a list of the persons you plan to invite and ensure that you have their names correct. The next step is to get a quote on high quality affordable wedding invitations from the most trusted supplier of trophies, awards, and custom made stationary.

Branded Belt Buckles As Rewards And Corporate Identity Building

It is possible to use the same type of technology as used for the creation of medals to craft DIE struck belt buckles in various sizes and shapes. Moulding or DIE struck costs are included in the price of orders for medals of 1000 or more.

Cultural and Sports Groups

We have a range of belt buckle moulds to select from and can craft unique buckles which can be sold on retail level or ordered specifically for cultural or sports groups. Take for instance, how children of a culture organisation will appreciate and value having a DIE cast metal buckle with the emblem of the organisation.

Who Should Order?

Whether you run a Dojo, culture club, outdoor adventure group or perhaps a community of nature lovers you can order belt buckles with the emblem of choice. Such customisation enables you to add a unique signature to the outfits of participants or members of a group and it is rather prestigious.

Use Buckles as Rewards

The buckles can furthermore be used as incentives or as rewards for accomplishing certain tasks or meeting sales goals. Instead of the normal medal, consider the value of this unique item. The person thus wears the belt not only as a piece of clothing accessory, but as an award. It is not possible to wear a medal around, but a buckle is something else.

Corporate Branding

Companies that want to brand can consider the cost effectiveness of such items as corporate gifts or promotional items. In addition, they can create a unique corporate identity by adding their logo to the attire of their staff through means of belt buckles.

High quality metal is used and with DIE struck known as one of the best methods for producing belt buckles to last for years to come, one gets appreciation for the value of such instead of handing out certificates or medals.

Engraving For The Creation Of Beautiful Wedding Invitations

When thinking of beautiful wedding invitations one may immediately imagine a stunning or card based invitation embossed and stylishly decorated. Although certainly true, there are numerous other options which will set your invitations apart from the rest.

Laser Engraving

With laser engraving it is possible to transfer an image onto a plastic, metal, wood or even paper based material. Nothing says attention to detail as well as engraving. Trophy & Medal Boutique offers clients a wide range of engraving possibilities ensuring the most beautiful wedding invitations of all time.

Selection of Wedding Invitations

Carefully consider how many guests you will invite. If you plan on inviting a hundred or more guests, creating a personalised item for each may not be cost effective. If you want to have an intimate wedding then you will be able to create beautiful wedding invitations, which are personalised without breaking the bank in the process.

Select engraved stationary that is compatible with computer printers or as an alternative let us engrave all the information on your behalf. With the method of engraving used there is no ink running or smearing and you will not have the problem of flaking. With such, you can expect a rather distinctive appearance and something that not only looks amazing, but is also pleasant to touch.

Why Engraving To Create Beautiful Wedding Invitations?

When an invitation is engraved, it represents quality and certainly shows what can be expected. Elegance is portrayed and with that then your guests will immediately know that the reception will be one set in style. Engraving, although now done through state of the art equipment, is rather traditional and thus something that has stood the test of time.

A set of glasses housed in a high quality wooden case, and upon which engraving has been done, will set you apart from the rest of the gift presenters.

Quality Laser Cutting On A Variety Of Materials

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.
