Personalized trophies for events

The main difference isn't aesthetic but lies in the origin: with a personalized trophy, an existing object is adapted; with a custom trophy, the object is created.

A personalized trophy starts from an existing model to which graphic identity elements are added: logo, recipient's name, corporate colors, year or category. The shape and material are predefined.

A custom trophy is designed and manufactured from scratch. There's no pre-existing model: the geometry, material and finish are determined from the event briefing. The result is an object that can't belong to any other commission.

The most important thing is to define the graphic design well. Here are the points to keep in mind:

1. The finish. You choose how you want the trophy: in color with UV printing, in black and white with laser engraving, or without personalization. Both techniques are applied to the partially recycled steel plate.
2. Who creates the design. You can entrust it to our team, which prepares the artwork from your logo and your text, or upload it yourself if you already have it ready.
3. If you prepare it yourself. On the website there's a downloads area with the design template, personalization examples, the 3D model and the image pack, so you can see how it looks before you start. You upload the PDF file when placing your order or send it to us by email later.
4. How to prepare the design. A few things help to get it just right: leave a little space between fine lines and the metal edge, avoid text that's too small and, on the metal, go for light colors rather than very dark backgrounds, as that's where the print shows best. If you choose a model in wood, stone or acrylic, we'll send you the specific guidelines for each material.

In any case, we review the design with you before manufacturing it. If you'd like to go into detail, you can check our graphic design considerations for trophies before you start.

Yes.

The purchase can be made entirely through the website. From each product you can select quantities, check delivery times, download the quote and complete the purchase.

You can check this tutorial, where you'll see how it works in a simple way.

We're also available to help you at every stage. Every order is reviewed and validated before it goes into production.

Below is a guide with the main steps:

How to buy trophies online, step by step?

1. Choose the model

Select the format according to the context of the event:

• Contemporary shapes: PAI PAI Award Plaque, GEM Totem.

• Institutional presence and greater visual weight: CERAMIC Totem, MAR Totem.

• Light and dynamic formats: Small Cup, FIL Totem.

2. Select the material

Each material defines the final finish of the trophy. We work with certifiable sustainable materials such as:

• FSC beech wood: even grain, warm feel.
• Post-consumer recycled plastic: high density, stone-like appearance.
• Recycled fishing nets: visible texture, recognizable material identity.
• Concrete with 100% recycled aggregates: mineral surface and greater weight.
• Recycled rubber: matte feel, slight flexibility.

We also work with marble and limestone: materials of natural origin, with a greater impact from extraction, but with a distinct presence and symbolic weight for certain types of events.

3. Define the design

You can download the template from the configurator itself and prepare the final design.

Before production, all designs are reviewed and technically validated to ensure correct legibility, proportions and adaptation to the material.

If you prefer, our team can handle the graphic design for a fixed additional cost, following the same validation criteria before going into production.

4. Choose the personalization technique

We work with two personalization systems:

• Laser engraving: monochrome textured finish, with a tone derived from the base material after the thermal reaction.
• Direct UV printing: precise four-color printing, with no relief and full color control. Printing is carried out with industrial-grade Roland DG UV equipment, recognized for its color stability, definition and reliability in professional production.

From here on we take care of the rest, guaranteeing correct production and meeting the delivery date.

Throughout the entire process you have direct, personalized support. If any question comes up, you can contact us and we'll guide you through every stage, from validation to final delivery.

You'll get an estimate directly in the configurator once you enter the quantity.

As a reference:

• We can deliver up to 100 units anywhere in the EU within 48 hours.
• The ideal time frame is 1 week if you already have the final design.
• If you need us to design it, we recommend allowing 2 weeks.
• For projects with custom colors or specific manufacturing, the minimum time frame is 1 month.

All trophies in our collection include an individual eco-label that guarantees their sustainability with verifiable data.

This document details the environmental impact saved compared to a standard imported trophy, calculated according to the ISO 14040 standard by an independent technical partner.

Each unit includes an eco-label with verifiable indicators:

• Complete carbon footprint: CO₂ eq per unit, calculated with ISO 14040 methodology.
• Impact reduction: up to 80% compared to conventional trophies manufactured in Asia.
• Impact breakdown by phase: % materials, % manufacturing, % packaging, % transport.
• Minimized toxicity: materials without heavy metals, water-based paints, certified safe use.

The eco-label is delivered with each unit, at no additional cost.

The engraving and printing are applied to a plate made of partially recycled steel, coated with non-toxic water-based paint.

This surface was selected for its stability, adhesion and optimal performance with both laser engraving and UV printing.

Yes.

We regularly handle trophy orders for events that require medium and high volumes.

In the product configurator you can check the price table with the unit cost by quantity and the different volume discount tiers.

As you increase the number of units in the configurator, the unit price adjusts automatically according to 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'll send you a proposal tailored to your project.

Yes.

From the product configurator itself you can generate the quote instantly.

When you configure the model, quantities, materials and options, you'll find the "Download quote" option, which captures exactly all the selections made.

This way you can work on your proposal with clear figures, with no waiting and with the assurance that the quote is technically feasible.

An original trophy is defined by its shape and its material: clean geometry that doesn't imitate anything, and materials you won't find in a standard catalog. A conventional trophy works the other way around — it's defined by what it stands for: a ball, a human figure, a symbol; the cup or medal in a gold, silver or bronze finish.

That break from inherited shapes is exactly what makes a piece read as contemporary design.

Design

• Primary geometry — Circles, an inclined plane, a cylinder.
• No ornament — Nothing on the piece imitates what it's awarded for.
• Restrained proportions — Visual lightness, where the classic award relies on bulk.

Materials

• Recycled post-consumer plastic — A stone-like texture with irregular veining.
• Recycled fishing nets from the Mediterranean — A blue that comes straight from the waste itself. Not a color you'll find in a conventional catalog.
• Ceramic — Matte white, a deliberate contrast to the mineral surfaces.
• 100% recycled acrylic — A sustainable material that performs exactly like virgin acrylic.

A modern trophy is built to last: it still does its job, but in a timeless way — like any well-designed object.
