About Awards.com
Awards.com is a corporate awards manufacturer, in business since 1985, that designs, engraves, and ships custom crystal, acrylic, and plaque awards, and has served small and medium-sized businesses, 80% of the Fortune 500, all branches of the U.S. military, and more than 17,000 nonprofits, schools, and universities. We make custom awards for organizations of every size, from a single engraved award to a recognition program that runs all year.
To create recognition people can see, hold, and keep, a lasting record of their successes and contributions.
We design, engrave, and ship the awards companies use to thank their people, and we get every one right and on time for the event.
Recognizing People Since 1985
- 1985
The company behind Awards.com goes into the business of recognizing people.
- 1997
Awards.com goes online, back when ordering recognition for a company still meant a paper catalog and a fax machine. That made it one of the first places a business could design and order an award on the web.
- 2009
Awards.com merges with Successories, bringing two recognition brands under one roof.
- 2014
After the merger, the site relaunches, led by most of the same people who run it today.
Our Values
Service
A person designs your award with you. You will receive a proof for your approval before production within 2 business days.
Quality
We engrave and decorate at our in-house facilities across the US and Canada, and nothing goes into production until you approve the proof.
Selection
Over 10,000 awards, including the largest online selection of crystal awards. If none of them fit, our design team builds one from scratch.
The People Behind Your Award
We say we are not a chatbot or a call center. Here are the people who actually mean it.
Vincent Nero
Vice President, Sales and Service
Runs the sales and service organization, and is closely involved in which products get made and which categories get built. In the industry since 2009 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"The award people remember is rarely the most expensive one. It is the one where somebody took the time to write a specific sentence about what that person actually did."
Kim Fuller
Production Director
Oversees custom design, sourcing, and merchandising, which means she decides what is possible, what it costs, and where it comes from. In the industry since 2008 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"If you want something custom, come to us with the idea and the budget, not a finished drawing. We can almost always get you closer to the idea for less money when we are involved early."
Michelle Washington
Production Art Manager
Her team is the last check before anything is made. Every proof and every piece of production art goes through them, which is why the proof you approve is the award you receive. In the industry since 2007 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"Send us the highest-resolution logo you have, even if it is an old file. We can rebuild artwork, but starting from a screenshot costs you detail you will see in the engraving."
Sheldon R.
Customer Service Manager
Owns your order once it is in production. Answers the status questions, catches the problems, and is the person who makes the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee mean something. Founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"Read every name on the proof twice. Spelling is the one thing we cannot fix after engraving, and it is the only thing anyone in the room notices."
Michael F.
Director of Sales and Service
Came up through years on the production floor before moving to the service side, so when he tells you a deadline is achievable, it is based on having done the work. In the industry since 2000, joined in 2021.
"Tell us the event date before you fall in love with a design. Most things are possible. What changes on a tight timeline is the order we do them in."
Adriana L.
Senior Graphic Designer
Turns a concept, or often just a conversation, into an award that can actually be manufactured, while keeping a client's brand standards intact. Joined in 2017.
"Less text, more meaning. The awards that photograph well and age well have one line you can read from across the room."
What Customers Say
A few of those reviews, in our customers' own words.
Fast turnaround and great quality
"Fast turnaround and great quality product. The engraving looks amazing."
Unique and beautiful blown glass
"The blown glass and inscription is beautiful. The only thing I wasn't aware of was the air bubbles but was given an explanation immediately that because they are hand blown, each piece is unique and may have imperfections which is understandable but it's still stunning. Thank you for excellent service and an impressive gift!"
Easy and fast service
"Easy and fast service. The awards turned out beautiful."
Timely delivery
"Timely delivery, responsive communications, and quality products. Thank you!"
