Buy trophies for events
Choosing the right trophy for an event requires precision in form, material, finish, and lead times. It's not just about the final object — it's about how it fits the context of the event and the identity of the organisation presenting it.
At Sustain Awards we work with a collection of trophies conceived through design and careful material selection, ensuring visual coherence, responsible use of resources, and a restrained formal language that frames the message of the trophy without overshadowing it.
From each product page, you can manage the entire trophy order, selecting quantities, texts, logos, base material, plate colour, engraving technique, and packaging. The purchasing process is autonomous, clear, and designed to enable frictionless online trophy purchasing.
No trophy enters production without explicit approval of the final design. Every order is technically reviewed to ensure legibility, proportions, and proper adaptation to the selected material.
This approach makes it possible to purchase trophies for events with real control over design, materials, and lead times, without reliance on external processes or intermediaries.
Personalisation is carried out using two techniques, selected according to the desired result and graphic requirements:
- Laser engraving: with a tactile texture and a monochrome finish created through material oxidation.
- UV printing: suitable for full colour and chromatically demanding compositions, without relief.
The entire process is managed directly through the website, with accessible technical information, transparent pricing, and defined lead times before order confirmation.
For orders with simple personalisation, we deliver up to 100 units within 48 hours anywhere in the EU. The optimal lead time is one week with a finalised design, or two weeks if the design is developed in-house.
All collection trophies include an eco-label detailing the environmental impact avoided. We manufacture in the EU using recycled materials and low-impact processes, selected for their stability and reliable production performance.
Each order is supported by direct assistance, precise planning, and strict time control, ensuring that event trophies fulfil their role as the formal and symbolic closure of the ceremony.
FAQ about Browse all trophies
Can I complete the entire purchase and customisation process for trophies online?
Yes.
The entire purchase can be completed through the website. From each product page you can select quantities, check delivery times, download your quote and finalise your order.
You can watch this tutorial for a straightforward walkthrough of how it works.
We are also available to support you at every stage. Every order is reviewed and approved before going into production.
Below is a guide to the main steps:
How to buy trophies online: a step-by-step guide
1. Choose your model
Select the format that suits your event:
- Contemporary geometries: PAI PAI Award Plaque, GEM Totem.

- Institutional presence and strong visual impact: CERAMIC Totem, MAR Totem.

- Lightweight and dynamic formats: Small Cup, FIL Totem.

2. Choose your material
Each material determines the final finish of the trophy. We work with certifiable sustainable materials, including:
- FSC beech wood: uniform grain, warm to the touch.
- Post-consumer recycled plastic: high density, stone-like appearance.
- Recycled fishing nets: visible texture, distinctive material identity.
- Concrete with 100% recycled aggregates: mineral surface and greater weight.
- Recycled rubber: matte finish, slight flexibility.
We also work with marble and limestone: natural materials with a higher environmental impact due to extraction, but with a specific presence and symbolic weight suited to certain types of events.
3. Define your design
You can download the template directly from the configurator and prepare your final design.
Before production begins, all designs are technically reviewed and approved to ensure correct legibility, proportions and compatibility with the chosen material.
If you prefer, our team can handle the graphic design for a fixed additional fee, applying the same validation criteria before moving to production.
4. Choose your personalisation technique
We work with two personalisation methods:
- Laser engraving: monochromatic finish with texture, the tone of which is derived from the thermal reaction on the base material.
- Direct UV printing: precise four-colour printing, flat finish, with full colour control. Printing is carried out using industrial-grade Roland DG UV equipment, recognised for its chromatic stability, definition and reliability in professional production.
From that point on, we take care of everything, guaranteeing a flawless production and on-time delivery.
Throughout the entire process you have access to direct, personalised support. If you have any questions, get in touch — we will guide you through every stage, from approval to final delivery.
If I buy trophies today for my event, what is the delivery time?
You will get an estimate directly in the configurator once you enter the quantity.
As a guide:
- We can deliver up to 100 units to any location in the EU within 48 hours.
- The ideal lead time is 1 week if you already have the final design ready.
- If you need us to handle the design, we recommend allowing 2 weeks.
- For projects involving custom colours or specific manufacturing, the minimum lead time is 1 month.
How do I know that buying a trophy means choosing a sustainable option?
Every trophy in our collection comes with an individual eco-label that certifies its sustainability with verifiable data.
This document details the environmental impact saved compared to a standard imported trophy, calculated in accordance with ISO 14040 by an independent technical partner.
Each unit includes an eco-label with verifiable indicators:
- Full carbon footprint: CO₂ eq per unit, calculated using ISO 14040 methodology.
- Impact reduction: up to 80% compared to conventional trophies manufactured in Asia.
- Impact breakdown by phase: % materials, % manufacturing, % packaging, % transport.
- Minimised toxicity: materials free from heavy metals, water-based paints, certified safe use.
The eco-label is included with every unit, at no extra cost.
What material is the engraving / printing applied to?
The engraving and printing are applied to a plate made from X% recycled steel, coated with a non-toxic, water-based paint.
This surface was chosen for its stability, adhesion and optimal performance with both laser engraving and UV printing.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes.
We regularly work with trophy orders for events requiring medium and large volumes.
In the product configurator you can view the price table showing the unit cost by quantity, along with the different volume discount tiers.
As you increase the number of units in the configurator, the unit price adjusts automatically based on the selected volume tier.
This way, you can clearly see the difference from the original price at each quantity level.
If you have any questions, you can contact us directly and we will send you a tailored proposal for your project.
Do you also make trophies presentation boxes?
Yes. We offer custom packaging as an additional option at a per-unit cost.
The trophies presentation box is made from recycled cardboard and can be fully customised with full-colour graphics, providing a coherent finishing touch to your event.
We are an agency and would like to put together a proposal for a client. Can you send us a quote?
Yes.
You can generate a quote instantly directly from the product configurator.
Once you have configured the model, quantities, materials and options, you will find the "Download quote" option, which captures all the selections you have made.
This allows you to work on your proposal with accurate figures, with no waiting and with the confidence that the quote is technically viable.
