How Custom Trophies and Glass Awards | Are Made

Making custom trophies and glass awards is a craftwork that requires coordinated teamwork and an excellent eye for detail. Artwork must be created and approved. The crystal or glass must be inspected and cleaned. Then you create a mask that will be used to protect the award as it is being etched. These custom trophies and glass awards are then cleaned, inspected, and packed to insure safe arrival to you.

Each step requires its own set of quality principles that must be adhered to guarantee the perfect piece. Creating artwork that meets the customer’s requirements and at the same time will make a beautiful etch is of utmost importance to the production of your award. Inspecting each piece requires a sharp eye and high standards. While being inspected the piece is also carefully cleaned to prepare it for the mask. The mask is made by transferring the art image onto the masking material using a high powered light source. After the mask is made it is then inspected to make sure it meets its own set quality standards free from imperfections. The mask is applied to the trophy and protects it from being etched in unwanted areas. The etching process is carefully carried out by an artisan in a custom made sand etching booth.  The final award is then washed, glued if needed, inspected again and carefully shipped.

Manufacturing custom trophies and glass awards is a multi-step process that must be carried out by trained customer service personnel, designers and craftsmen. Care must be taken along every step of the process to insure you receive a beautiful trophy. When you find a company that takes care during each step of the manufacturing process you are sure to receive custom trophies and glass awards that you will value and treasure for years to come.
