Recommendations for Choosing Engraved Awards
The Most Common Printing Techniques and Their Advantages – We Can Help!
Choosing the right method is crucial as it significantly impacts the final result:
On the one hand, you can opt for pad printing, a highly versatile technique that works well on curved and irregular surfaces. It allows for fine and intricate details and offers the possibility of using a wide range of colours.
We also offer laser engraving, a precise method that enables detailed personalisation. This type of print is extremely durable and provides an elegant finish, especially on metal or glass.
Additionally, we have digital printing, which allows for full-colour image reproduction. This is a quick technique, making it ideal if you have tight delivery deadlines.
Another option is screen printing, which stands out for its high durability as it resists wear and fading, ensuring that the design lasts longer. Moreover, it is a cost-effective technique for large quantities, perfect for events with many participants.
Finally, there’s the resin doming technique. By applying a transparent resin layer over the design, it creates a unique finish that enhances the design and provides additional protection while giving it a more premium look.
4 Occasions to Celebrate with Trophies and Medals
1. Competitions and Sporting Events: The quintessential event for trophies and medals. At the end of a sporting event, medals can be given to all participants as a memento of their experience, such as in marathons, or trophies can be awarded to the winners of individual or team competitions.
2. Corporate Recognition: In the corporate world, trophies and medals can be used to acknowledge and reward exceptional employee performance, motivating staff further. They are also ideal for recognising long-serving employees as a token of gratitude for their loyalty or even as a unique keepsake for retirees.
3. Internal Corporate Events: Another occasion where these awards are useful is during company events, such as employee competitions on special dates, like cooking contests or fancy dress competitions, or team-building activities. Presenting trophies and medals during internal events creates moments of joy and pride, strengthening team bonds. In these cases, we recommend complementing the awards with other branded merchandise, such as T-shirts or branded wristbands.
4. Academic Achievements: In education, trophies and medals are a way to acknowledge and reward students’ academic accomplishments. Whether for excellence in performance, completing a stage of education, participating in extracurricular activities, or any other notable achievement, these awards serve as a source of motivation for students.
Crystal: The Standout Material for Our Personalised Trophies
Our trophies are crafted from crystal, a highly popular material in this category due to its brilliant aesthetic finish that exudes elegance and quality. Thanks to its versatility, crystal allows for a wide range of designs and shapes—round, rectangular, custom forms, and more. It also enables precise and intricate personalisation. Additionally, crystal is lightweight, making it easy to handle comfortably.
Metal: The Perfect Choice for Medals
While we also offer wooden medals for those seeking a more natural finish, the majority of our catalogue is made from metal. This material is favoured for its solidity, durability, and resilience, ensuring the medals stand the test of time.
How to Clean Engraved Awards
Cleaning personalised trophies requires care to avoid damaging the materials. Generally, dust them with a soft cloth or duster, then clean them with a cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface. For metallic parts, use a cleaner specifically designed for the type of metal. Make sure to dry the trophies thoroughly to prevent stains or corrosion.
