Everything you need to know about how and where to order custom made awards and how it works.
This a very difficult question to answer. First of all, its good to know what kind of award or trophy
you are looking for. Awards and trophies can be summed up in various categories:
For instance:
Once you have chosen the kind of award you are looking for its important to decide on specific
project details you need to consider, such as:
First of all its important to know the deadline you have for the event/celebration. You don’t want the awards to be late! Then its always good to know the budget and amount of awards needed for the event. These 2 details will be very useful to decide on the kind of award that can be produced. Needless to say one awards is much more expensive than 25pcs.
A sketch or basic idea is very helpful in creating a design for your award. A powerpoint or photo of a rough sketch on a piece of paper will help out our design team tremendously.

There is good chance you want you to show the name of the winner on the award. There are different production techniques to use, such as engraving, screen print, FC print or even use laser cut acrylic letters or 3d prints.
Its very common to use additional plaques for your award because you don’t know the winners yet for your awards. Because you don’t want to wait for the winners to be announced its wise to already create the awards first for the names to be added later on. Its also an idea to already make the plaques with the nominees with for instance double sided tape, so these can be added easily close to or even during the event.
Obviously you want your award to stand out also by handing it out in a specialized custom made gift box. Layers of cut out foam, embossed logos, velvet and silk shaped inlays or magnet enclosures are just some examples that can be used for creating your specialized and personalized custom made box. Don’t forget to take this into account for defining the budget for the award.
Because your award design will be digitally available it’s easy to provide you with content for your event. 3D photo renders, moving images, movies can be created easily, even to match your brand, company style or by adding your logo and brand items.
Finally its very common to use a local supplier for creating the award or trophies for your event. If you host an event, for instance in Amsterdam, its wise to use a local supplier based in that same city. You will not be dealing with courier problems or having the risk of you package being held by customs. You can even choose to have the local manufacturer store the awards for you and keep them in stock, so they can be sent close to the event date. This way you also prevent the awards for getting lost in the restaurant, hotel or event location where the awards will be handed out and celebrated.
