Why acrylic for recognition

Acrylic gives you the look of crystal at about half the weight and a fraction of the price. It's clear, durable, and shatter-resistant, and it holds engraving and full-color printing cleanly. For any program that hands out more than a handful of awards a year, that's hard to beat. You get the premium look without the premium cost. We've been making them since 1985, so a few things worth knowing before you pick.

The Advantages of Acrylic Awards

Recognizing excellence doesn't have to break the budget. By choosing acrylic awards engraved with the company logo or acrylic trophies for high achievers, you have access to eye-catching, versatile options that can be customized for special occasions.

At Awards.com, we offer a wide selection of designs and custom shapes, but adding color printing brings a new dimension to these awards. Custom acrylic awards provide a unique platform for celebrating top performers within an organization, ensuring that their achievements are highlighted in a personalized manner. The adaptability of personalized acrylic awards makes them an increasingly popular choice for corporate recognition programs that aim to honor individuals meaningfully while adhering to budgetary constraints.

Acrylic has several advantages over crystal awards, not the least of which is the fact that it is so easy to sculpt acrylic into a stunning variety of shapes, which means you find acrylic awards in a staggering variety of configurations of all shapes and sizes. In appearance, it closely resembles crystal but is both lighter and substantially less expensive, which means you get more award bang for your buck.

Acrylic vs. Crystal and Glass

Acrylic is clearer than glass and about half the weight, so it ships cheaper and survives handling better. Unlike crystal and glass, it shrugs off sunlight, so it won't cloud or yellow after years on a shelf.

One detail worth knowing if you're comparing quotes: most quality acrylic awards are cell-cast, poured between two sheets of glass. That's what gives the optical clarity and the clean frosted-white look when you engrave it. Cheaper extruded acrylic engraves "gummy" and stays clear instead of frosting, so it's not great for awards. Ask which one you're getting.

Customizing Acrylic Awards

Every acrylic award includes free engraving: name, date, title, a line of thanks. You've got two ways to personalize, and they're not interchangeable:

• Laser engraving for crisp text, logos, and fine detail. Clean, permanent, works on any piece.
• UV (full-color) printing for logos, photos, and anything multi-color, laid right onto the surface. See custom logo acrylic awards.

Want something no one else hands out? Order color-accented styles, a custom shape, or an acrylic embedment. Keep the design simple. A clean logo and one short line reads better than a crowded plate. We send a proof in one to three days, so you approve exactly what gets made before production.

Acrylic's Versatility

Acrylic is available in several colors and can be used to create awards in almost any shape or design. These awards often come with stunning accents, adding to their appeal. This allows for a wide variety, making it easy for companies to find the perfect award for a well-deserving employee.

With acrylic awards, companies often do not have to worry about giving the same gift to every employee. There are different types of acrylic, but most awards are made from cell cast. This is when the liquid acrylic is poured between two sheets of glass. Most of the acrylic awards given by corporations today are made this way because of their stunning optical clarity. This process also gives the reward a frosty white image when it is engraved. While this is the most popular and common type of acrylic, there is another option.

Extruded acrylic engraves are clear instead of frosty, so they are not often used to create employee awards. It is an excellent way to give cell cast awards a mirroring effect and create other accents. Another problem with extruded acrylic, which makes it ill-suited for most awards, is its tendency to become "gummy" during engraving. This is due to the heating process during pouring through the die.

There are several benefits to choosing acrylic awards over glass and crystal. Most companies cite its affordability as the main reason they first considered this material and continue to use it for its stunning appearance. With acrylic awards, businesses can recognize their employees and stay on budget.
