Things to Consider Before Ordering
Not sure where to begin? Then you’re in the right place! Here are a few things to consider when ordering awards:
Product Style
Are you looking for a wall plaque or desk award? Glass or crystal? Wood or acrylic? Click the Shop button on the navigation bar at the top of the screen to view All Products, and then narrow your search using the product category filter on the right side of the screen.
Price Range
Click the Shop button on the navigation bar at the top of the screen to view All Products, and then narrow your search using the price filter on the right side of the screen. Depending on the quantity ordered, discounts may apply.
Wording
In our experience, less text is best. Avoid overly verbose or flowery language as this often detracts from the beauty of the award. Most awards include the recipient’s name, reason for the award, name of the organization presenting the award, and year or date. The exact order of this information is up to you, but if you would like to see our suggested layouts and common phrases, please see: Engraving Formats and Suggestions
Presentation Date
Although we specialize in rush orders, we recommend allowing two weeks, if possible, between placing your order and your presentation date. The additional time provides more flexibility in case an award is out of stock, damaged during shipping, etc.
Shipping Method
All awards ship from our engraving facility in Southern California. Depending on your presentation date, expedited shipping may be necessary to ensure your awards arrive on time. Find out more at: Shipping Information
