Materials & Finishes

Our awards can be made in acrylic, timber or a combination of both, depending on the look, structure and presentation style of the piece. Some formats work well as clean and minimal acrylic awards, while others benefit from layered construction that combines timber, acrylic and contrasting surface finishes for a more dimensional result.

Depending on the design, award details can be created through engraving, coloured engraving effects, printed elements or vinyl-applied details. This allows different parts of the award to feel more refined, more decorative or more brand-specific, whether the goal is a natural timber look, a sharper modern finish or a stronger visual contrast.

Timber awards often create a warmer and more tactile feel, while acrylic can offer a cleaner, more polished or more contemporary appearance. Combined formats can also help create a more premium presentation piece with greater depth and visual layering.

Suggested options include:

  • acrylic awards

  • timber awards

  • mixed-material awards

  • layered construction

  • engraved text and graphics

  • coloured engraving effects

  • vinyl-applied details

  • printed logos or award titles

Award Design &Ordering

Each award can be developed around the occasion it is meant to represent, whether that is a business achievement, a school milestone, a competition result or a presentation moment that needs to feel more memorable than a standard off-the-shelf piece.

We can tailor the format through shape, scale, wording and layered composition, while also building in more specific visual details such as logos, award categories, recipient names, event dates and branded elements. Depending on the design, the final piece may combine acrylic, timber and contrasting surface treatments to create a result that feels more considered and display-worthy.

Awards can also be finished with different detail treatments, including engraved text, coloured engraving effects, vinyl-applied details and printed elements, depending on the visual style you want and how much contrast or refinement the piece needs. Some projects suit a cleaner and more minimal direction, while others benefit from stronger layering, decorative accents or a more presentation-focused finish.

If you already have an event identity, a logo, a category list or even just a rough idea of the tone you want the award to carry, we can use that as the starting point and help shape it into a more resolved format.

When getting in touch, it helps to include:

  • the award title or category

  • recipient name, if known

  • logo, event name or branding

  • quantity needed

  • preferred size or display format

  • event date or deadline

If not all of these details are final yet, we can still help you work through the direction and narrow the format down from there.
