Why should I choose a custom-made award?
Custom awards are ideal for recognizing achievements and milestones across various events. Customizing the shape, message, and design lets you showcase both your creativity and the value you place on your recipients' achievements. Custom awards are great because they:
- Remind the recipient that your organization appreciates them, which increases loyalty.
- Signal to everyone who sees the award that your organization cares about its employees.
- Can serve as referrals for your business when they're displayed in offices or homes.
We're passionate about helping each organization we work with bring their vision to life, with awards that hold up for years.
What materials are available for custom awards?
We offer custom awards in various materials such as crystal, glass, acrylic, metal, and wood. Our design team will guide you on the best materials for your design, budget, and timeline. Looking for something beyond stock options? We can customize a variety of glass, metal, and crystal awards to fit your exact needs.
Do you offer bulk pricing or volume discounts?
Absolutely. Whether you’re recognizing a small team or managing a company-wide program, we offer competitive bulk pricing to help you maximize value. Our volume discounts ensure you stay on budget while delivering high-quality awards.
How long does it take to design an award?
We typically deliver initial designs and renderings within 2 to 4 business days after your consultation. Whether you provide a high-resolution logo or a sketch on the back of a napkin, our team combines your ideas with our award design expertise to create a unique piece that fits your vision, budget, and timeline.
How long does it take to create a custom award?
Production time for custom awards depends on the complexity of your design and choice of materials. Once you approve the finalized design, custom production runs 2 to 6 weeks depending on the material. Acrylic and metal are typically 2 to 3 weeks; crystal is closer to 6. Not in a rush? Opting for extended manufacturing timelines can help stretch your budget without sacrificing quality.
Can I include my company logo on the custom award?
Yes, we can incorporate your company logo into the design of the custom award through techniques like engraving, etching, or printing. We often use your logo and brand elements as the starting point for a custom design.
Is there a minimum order quantity for custom awards?
There is no minimum order on custom awards, and we regularly produce single pieces. Custom projects are most cost effective at 10 or more, since design and setup are spread across the order.
What is the difference between custom and standard awards?
Custom awards are built from scratch to fit your unique specifications, while standard (stock) awards are pre-designed and customized post-production.
Can I order custom awards for different occasions?
Yes! We design personalized awards for all types of events, including corporate recognition, retirement, academic honors, and more.
Do you offer rush services for custom awards?
We offer rush services because we understand tight deadlines. A rush fee is a fast pass to cut the line. Your order moves ahead of orders with later event dates, so a piece that would ship in 7 days ships in 5, or overnight when it has to. When the deadline is tight, we can turn an award around in as little as 48 hours. We quote rush against your date and how full that week is, and a large quantity is rarely the obstacle people expect. Just tell us the date.
Can I see a proof of the custom award design before production?
Certainly! We provide digital proofs of the custom award design for your approval before proceeding with production to ensure the final product meets your expectations.
How do I place an order for custom awards?
To place an order for custom awards, contact our sales team either through our website, email, or phone. Our dedicated representatives will assist you throughout the ordering process.
