Material Selections

Choosing the right material for your award depends on the desired look, feel and application, with each option offering its own distinct advantages.

Crystal
Crystal awards are known for their premium feel, weight and visual impact. They offer exceptional clarity, brilliance and light refraction, creating a striking, high-end presentation. Due to the nature of the material, slight variations in cut and size can occur, adding to the uniqueness of each piece. Crystal is often chosen for prestigious awards where a refined and impressive finish is essential.

Acrylic
Acrylic is the most versatile of the three materials, offering excellent consistency in shape and finish. While lighter in weight, it provides greater flexibility in design, with a wide range of colours, textures and styles available. Acrylic also produces particularly sharp and bright results when laser engraved, making it ideal for modern designs and detailed artwork.

Glass
Glass provides a balance between quality and value, offering a similar appearance to crystal at a more accessible price point. While lighter and less brilliant than crystal, it still delivers a clean, professional finish. Glass awards are available in a wide variety of styles and often include coloured accents, making them a practical and attractive option for many applications.

We offer a range of timber finishes to suit different styles, environments and presentation requirements. Timber provides a classic and timeless appearance, making it an excellent choice for honour boards, plaques and traditional awards.

Available finishes typically include light, medium and dark tones, allowing you to match existing décor or achieve a specific aesthetic. Timber colour selection is often influenced by the environment in which the piece will be displayed. Lighter finishes are well suited to areas with ample natural light and complement modern interiors or spaces with lighter timber furnishings, creating a clean and contemporary look. In contrast, darker timbers provide a more traditional and formal aesthetic, offering a stronger visual presence and a classic, more imposing feel that suits heritage settings and executive spaces.

As timber is a natural material, variations in grain, tone and texture may occur between pieces. These characteristics add to the uniqueness and authenticity of each product.

Name badges are an important part of your organisation’s presentation and often form a key element of your team’s professional image. We offer a wide range of sizes, materials and finishes to suit different industries and branding requirements. While we can produce custom sizes to meet specific needs, we also provide a selection of standard pre-cut options, particularly for sublimation name badges.

Our name badges are available in a variety of finishes, including gold, silver, bronze, solid brass, full-colour print and black laser-engraved brass. Each option offers a different look and level of durability, allowing you to choose the most suitable style for your application. Fixing options include magnets, alligator clips and pin clips, ensuring comfort and practicality for everyday use.

Colour selection is typically guided by your corporate branding. Full-colour printing allows for accurate reproduction of logos and brand colours, while metallic finishes such as gold and silver provide a more traditional, professional appearance with reflective qualities that help the badge stand out.
