Custom designed plaques have been around for over 100 years with a variety that is staggering. They range from individual recognition to perpetual recognition and appreciation. The scope includes the simplest plaques with just engraving plates to intricately designed plaques with castings, stamping and etchings. You will award plaques on walls of government agencies, military facilities, corporate offices, schools, state agencies, and religious institutions.
A discussion has to occur between the client and us about their concepts, ideas, & budget. The actual material we use for the plaques will be based on the customer's artwork, rough sketch & budget. Pricing will be based on several factors including quantity, material used, finish applied, and personalization required. If limited information is supplied we will come up with a rough estimate. However if detailed requirements are supplied, then an exact quote will be issued. Of course there are always changes to the artwork and concept which is taken into consideration. We also have to discuss time frames needed by us and the customer.
The majority of plaques we manufacture are wood boards plaques, including genuine walnut, walnut finish, genuine alder plaques, black finish wood plaques, cherry finished plaques, and piano finish rosewood, piano finish black and piano finish walnut. We can supply light color oak and maple. There are significant differences in pricing for each type of wood. Besides wood board plaques, we also offer genuine cast bronze and aluminum plaques for outdoor use. The additional plaque mounts are endless, including stock plaque mounts and custom plaque mounts either cast, etched or stamped. The engraving plates available include brass, and aluminum in various colors. Our method of personalization is laser engraving, sublimation, and silk screening.
