Custom Trophies
Most people who need a trophy are not shopping for a gold cup with a figure on top. They are recognizing a salesperson who beat quota, an employee marking twenty years, or a team that closed something difficult. That is the kind of trophy we make: engraved crystal, glass, acrylic, and metal pieces that go on a desk or a shelf and stay there.
Every trophy here is engraved free, with a proof you approve before we make anything, and there is no order minimum. Stock pieces ship in 5 to 7 business days. Start with a material below, or jump straight to the occasion you are buying for.

How Custom Trophy Engraving Works
Every trophy we sell is engraved in house. Here is the process start to finish.
Send us your text and artwork
The name, the award title, the date, and your logo if you have one. Vector files work best, but we can work from most formats. See our art and logo requirements for file specs.
We send you a proof
You get a rendering showing exactly how the engraving will sit on the piece. Nothing goes into production until you approve it, and revisions are free.
We engrave and ship
Most stock trophies ship 5 to 7 business days after proof approval. We use rotary and laser engraving on metal and wood, and sandblasting or laser on crystal and glass.
If you want something that does not exist yet
Our design team builds custom trophy shapes from scratch, including pieces cut to your logo and acrylic embedments. Renderings come back in two to four business days. Start at custom designs.
Working With a Custom Trophy Maker
Most companies buying trophies are ordering through a reseller who passes the job along to someone else. We make and decorate our own, and have since 1985.
That matters in a few practical ways. You deal with one point of contact instead of a chain, so when a date moves or a name is spelled wrong, it gets fixed directly. There is no middleman markup sitting on the price. And if you need something that is not in the catalog at all, our design team can build it, which a reseller cannot.
If you have been looking for a custom trophy shop nearby, ordering online is usually faster than it sounds. You see a proof in 2 business days, most stock pieces ship in 5 to 7 business days, and there is no minimum, so a single trophy is as welcome as a program of three hundred.
How to Choose a Trophy
Match the size to the achievement
An oversized trophy for a small win reads as filler. Save the tall pieces for the annual award and use something smaller for monthly recognition.
Decide whether it repeats
If the same award goes out every year, buy a perpetual trophy and add a nameplate each cycle rather than starting over. It builds a record people can read.
Think about where it will sit
Desk pieces need to clear a monitor. Anything over about ten inches usually ends up on a shelf or in a lobby case, so check the space before you size up.
Engrave the specifics
A name and a year is the minimum. Adding the real number, whether that is revenue, units, or years of service, is what stops a trophy looking generic next to last year's.
Custom Trophies FAQ
What is the difference between a trophy and an award?
In corporate recognition they mean the same thing, and buyers use both words for the same object. Traditionally a trophy was a freestanding cup or figure while an award was a flat plaque. Today most companies say trophy for anything handed over at a ceremony.
Do you sell sports trophies?
Yes, for tournaments and competitions. We carry golf and sports trophy shapes in crystal, glass, acrylic, and metal for outings, leagues, and championships. What we do not make is the bulk youth-league trophy with a plastic figure on a column, so for a season's worth of those a local trophy shop is a better fit.
Can you make a custom trophy shape?
Yes. Our design team builds trophies from scratch, including shapes cut to your logo and acrylic embedments. Send the concept and you will have a rendering in two to four business days at no cost.
What material is best for a corporate trophy?
Crystal for annual and executive awards, since it has the most weight and presence. Glass, including jade, when you are recognizing a whole team at a lower cost per piece. Acrylic when the logo needs to print in full color.
How long does custom trophy engraving take?
You will see a proof in 2 business days, and most stock trophies ship 5 to 7 business days after you approve it. Fully custom shapes run longer and we confirm the timing before you commit to a date.
Can we order just one trophy?
Yes. There is no minimum and no setup fee. Engraving and your proof are included whether you order a single trophy or several hundred.
