Best quality and service in award plaques

Whether you are looking to honor a student, teacher, colleague, team or family member, awards plaques are the traditional way to go.  Plaque awards have been used for centuries to commemorate outstanding achievement, anniversaries of special events and personal commitment to particular causes.

The Trophy & Plaque Shack has consistently received 5-star reviews for its quality manufacturing, assembly and timely production of custom plaques, as well as their discrete, dependable and personalized service.

Custom Engraved Award Plaques

But just because they are traditional, doesn’t mean custom engraved award plaques can’t also be contemporary and full of fun!  

What message do you want to place on an engravable plaque?  TPS has the ability to laser engrave wood, acrylic, metal and many other materials to capture the perfect sentiment or honor you want to confer with an engraved award plaque.

TPS also has the ability to precision engrave metal plates to be mounted on the award plaque and also other items (like pewter plates, glass, crystal, silver, bronze, brass, etc.) using hand- or mechanical-engraving techniques.

Custom plaques can be made out of virtually any stable material and their design is limited only by the creator’s imagination.

Personalized Plaques

Often made of hardwoods, such as walnut or rosewood, plaques awards can be engraved or have a metal plate mounted to their front surface.  Medals and medallions, mylars and ornamental items such as gavels, miniature baseball bats, helmuts, stars, cars, trophies and other mythical representations allow one to personalize to their heart’s content.

If wood, it can be finished in many different styles – such as natural, simulated marble, stained, highly polished piano finish and more.  

Plaques are often also made out of metal, acrylics in all sorts of colors and translucencies and even detailed cast resins. Sizes can range from very small to a size large enough for an outdoor war memorial or statue.

Wall Plaques

How often have you walked into a room and been drawn to one wall or another to read the inscriptions on wall plaques? Many plaques live out their lives attached to the same wall, or in trophy cases.  

Some, called perpetual plaques, are removed every year or season to add the names and details of new award recipients.  Perpetual wall plaques can hold dozens of names, memorializing forever those who were the winners.

After a certain amount of time one runs out of space on the plaque (or even the wall!) and another plaque (or wall) needs to be requisitioned to continue the fun tradition.

Photo Award Plaques

TPS is often called upon to create award plaques with images, designs or photographs sublimated on the front surface.  These awards capture the excitement and energy of youth sports,family outings, special moments, weddings, holidays, festivals and more.  All you need is a camera or your cell phone to capture the perfect image to have TPS preserve it forever on a beautiful photo plaque.
