You'll see which material suits which award, how names and logos are engraved, and live prices per unit in AED. Every quote comes with a free mockup within 4 hours, and awards are delivered 5–7 working days after you approve the artwork.

New for 2027: the recognition collection

The new 2027 recognition collection: crystal, marble, wood, resin and acrylic awards shown with sample award names
The new 2027 recognition collection, shown with sample names and logos.

Our new 2027 recognition collection adds 13 sculptural designs: eight optical-crystal awards, a crystal-and-beech-wood award, two twisted resin awards and two two-tone acrylic panel awards. Every design is branded with your logo by laser engraving and colour UV print or UV DTF. Ask for any of these designs when you request a quote.

Crystal awards and glass mementos

Crystal awards are clear and heavy, and their bevelled edges catch the light on stage. Optical crystal, often called K9, is a high-clarity, lead-free optical glass. Our range runs from small diamond paperweights to shields, stars, towers and amethyst-tinted crystal, and many come in a presentation box. Glass mementos are a lighter, more affordable choice for bigger award programmes.

Custom crystal awards made to your design

From your logo to a finished award

Want an award nobody else has? We make custom crystal awards to your design:

  • crystal cut to your shape;
  • your logo UV-printed in full colour from the back, so it sits inside the crystal;
  • names and lines engraved and filled with gold colour on the front;
  • a black base, packed in a black velvet box.

Before production, you approve a drawing with every size and detail. Typical awards stand about 24 to 30 cm tall, in crystal 12 to 20 mm thick.

How it works

How a custom award is made

  1. Send your brief

    The award titles, names, quantities and your logo, ideally as a vector file (AI, SVG or PDF).

  2. Get a free mockup

    We send a mockup within 4 hours, then a detailed drawing for custom shapes.

  3. Approve and relax

    Your awards are delivered to your office 5–7 working days after you approve.

Custom acrylic awards

Three custom acrylic awards cut into flame, wave and star shapes with full-colour gradient prints

Any shape, any colour

Acrylic is a light, shatter-resistant plastic that can be cut into almost any shape and printed in full colour. That makes it ideal for custom shapes, team colours and photo awards. It costs less than crystal and is easier to ship. It does scratch more easily and can yellow after long exposure to strong sunlight, so display it indoors.

We make custom acrylic awards on request. Send your idea or logo and we reply with a free mockup within 4 hours. Ask for an acrylic award quote.

Two designs in our new 2027 collection are two-tone acrylic panel awards, with star and orbit motifs.

Gold and metal trophies

Gold star trophies, a hand-holding-trophy figure, and feather and foil designs, all on black bases with room for engraving.

Wooden and sustainable awards

For sustainability, ESG and green-team awards, choose an award made from responsible materials:

  • FSC certification shows that the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.
  • RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) verifies a product's recycled content and traces it through the supply chain.

Our range includes FSC beech-wood awards with recycled aluminium, and awards made from recycled water bottle caps.

Engraving and branding your award

Ways to add names and logos

We match the method to the material:

  • Laser engraving for a frosted finish on crystal and glass, and crisp lines on wood.
  • Engraving with gold colour filling for names and lines on crystal.
  • UV printing for full-colour logos, printed from the back of crystal or straight onto acrylic and wood.
  • Sandblasting for deep frosted etching on selected crystal awards.
  • Engraved metal plates on stone and wood plaques.

Every award can carry its own name. Send the list of names with your order, and check the spelling before you approve the mockup.

What to engrave on a trophy

Keep the wording short: three lines read better than a paragraph. Include the award title, the recipient's name as they prefer it, your logo and the year or event.

Award Example wording
Employee of the year Employee of the Year 2026 · [Name] · In recognition of outstanding performance
Long service 10 Years of Service · [Name] · With thanks for a decade of dedication
Sales or target award Top Performer 2026 · [Name] · [Team or region]
Sports Champions · [Team name] · Corporate Football League 2026
Sustainability Sustainability Champion 2026 · [Team or name]

Quantities, delivery and bulk pricing

Most awards in our catalogue start at 25 pieces, but award programmes are often smaller, so smaller quantities are available on request. Ask for a quote with your quantities: larger orders get a better unit price.

Awards are delivered 5–7 working days after you approve the artwork or drawing, including custom crystal and acrylic awards. We deliver across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, to your office or warehouse.
