What recognition products are applicable to every budget?

Wall plaques are a standard recognition product in our industry. They may just be the most frequent product ordered by customers. They are a go-to solution for both customers and award shops when time is short.

With a large variety of plaques and plates available, it’s relatively easy to find a plaque that fits any occasion and any budget. A pressed, wood body with a plastic laminated cover is a great budget choice and can be offered as small as 4 X 6 inches.

A simple engraved plate as small as 3 X 5 inches rounds out a plaque for a modest budget. We use them for a number of car dealers with a monthly awards program for sales, technicians, and office personnel.

On the other end of the price spectrum is piano-finished plaques with elegantly finished brass plates. In between are solid wood plaques, which are great for direct engraving and a variety of veneers. As the plate is what is mostly visible, combining a beautifully finished plate with a veneer surface plaque can provide a high-end looking plaque for a smaller price.
