A crystal trophy can recognise a professional, sporting or institutional achievement. Before personalising it, establish the material, shape, engraving method and usable area for names, dates and logos.
Not every item sold as a crystal trophy has the same composition or supports the same processes. Request the specifications of the exact product.
Crystal, glass and optical pieces
Trophy catalogues may include different types of glass and other materials. Transparency, weight and refraction vary. Do not describe an item as optical crystal without the manufacturer’s documentation.
Laser engraving and other methods
Surface marking and subsurface engraving are available for certain materials, with different results. Personalisation options depend on the equipment and the shape of the item.
Colour printing on compatible surfaces
Some processes can add colour, but require suitable preparation and an accessible printing area. Colour printing should not be assumed to be available for every model.
Choosing the right size for an awards ceremony
The trophy should be easy to handle, stable on its base and legible during the presentation. Consider its height, weight, Packaging and transport.
Text, logo and names
- Confirm the award name.
- Check names and spelling.
- Confirm the date.
