The awards beautifully combine matte anodized aluminum and caramel bamboo finished with a natural oil. We applied the finishing touches using laser cut gloss acrylics to outline the year.

acrylic awards & quick ship
Our pre-designed acrylic awards are 100% customizable to fit any corporate branding or event theme. We use a state of the art process called UV flatbed printing. This enables us to print photographic quality in full CMYK colour, white and clear gloss directly to the surface of the acrylic. We keep stock of our acrylic awards which makes them a great choice for time sensitive orders.
Inspired by technology and exploration, this design was the first in our series of custom acrylic awards. The facets have been carefully balanced to create a unique form that is universal and adaptable for any event.
This award is called Impossible because of the production difficulty involved in making this award. With perseverance and multiple prototypes, we were successful at making an inside cut into the award.
A simple and modern design that can be adapted for any brand or event. The large chamfered cut on the front of the award was deliberately designed in order to provide space to emphasize a logo.
The simplicity of this design makes it one of our most popular choices. A tall and modern award that is easily adaptable to any brand or event. Available in several base colours with the option of adding laser cut 3D elements.
eco friendly & wood awards
We specialize in creating awards from recovered or eco-friendly materials. Bamboo is our favourite wood to work with due to its sustainability features. We stock several pre-designed awards that can be customized for any brand or event. Such styles are often used as long service awards.
This award is identical to the acrylic version, only in wood. Inspired by technology and exploration, this design was the first in our series of custom wood awards. The facets have been balanced carefully to create a unique form that is universal and adaptable for any event.
This award is called Impossible because of the production difficulty involved in making this award. With perseverance and multiple prototypes, we were successful at making an inside cut into the award.
A simple and modern award. These cubes are versatile and showcase the beautiful grain of bamboo. We add bent brushed aluminium panels to the award which can be done in a variety of different metals and colours.
We redesigned the old fashioned shadow box plaque into a modern and progressive award. We modernized the form and finish while adding a unique way of displaying the graphics and information inside the box.
metal awards & trophies
We work with many different materials such as wood and acrylic however, metalworking is one of our passions and specialities. We have invested in very specific machinery and manufacturing processes that enable us to deliver high quality and unique awards. Our pre-designed metal awards can be customized completely to suit any event or brand. We manufacture 100% of our metal awards in-house so we have control over every aspect of the production process.
This modern award is dynamic yet simple. Many of our custom awards explore the idea of simplicity and timeless design for our clients. This particular design has been very popular. We have customized versions of this design for companies such as Volkswagen and UCLA.
This is one of our most customizable awards. With the opportunity to add any cut out text on the side, this style of award is very versatile. You can choose the anodizing colour and we can print any graphic directly onto the surface of the aluminium.
As the name suggests, this is a modern award. Made from a thick gauge aluminium, these awards feel good in the hand and have a decent weight. Endless possibilities for customization make these awards a great choice for any event or corporate recognition program.
We named this award avant-garde because, at the time, this was a new and experimental idea. Since that time, the design has evolved and has quickly become one of our most popular with clients and one of our favourite awards to make.
