Award plaques
Award plaques crafted with materials selected for their stability, finish quality, and visual impact. FSC-certified wood, recycled polymers or reclaimed nets—each medium is chosen for how it responds to engraving, reflects the content, and fits within the context of the event.
At Sustain Awards, we design tribute plaques meant to express recognition with formal clarity, proportion, and clean readability. Each model starts from a defined design that adapts to various ceremonies without losing its identity.
Each award plaque is tailored to your event’s visual language
Personalisation depends on the content and the material: names, dates, or logos are laser-engraved when seeking sobriety and permanence, or UV-printed when the design calls for colour, contrast or greater visual intensity. The text is not just added—it’s composed to function visually as part of the whole.
A well-designed award plaque doesn’t merely accompany the moment. It shapes it, conveys its meaning, and brings it to a close with the clarity it deserves.
FAQ about Award plaques
Do you offer urgent award plaques for last-minute events?
Yes. We have the logistics and production capacity to deliver urgent award plaques in very short timeframes. We can produce and ship up to 100 units within 24 hours to any location in the European Union—without compromising design or finish quality.
If you have a tight deadline, contact us. We’ll assess your case and offer a realistic and reliable solution.
Can I order just one unit?
Yes. We have no minimum order requirement. We manufacture from a single unit, with the same level of care in design, materials, and service as for large-scale orders.
Do you offer custom award plaque design?
Yes. At Sustain Awards, we work with formats that go beyond the traditional plaque—both in materials and in visual approach. We can co-create with you a unique piece that reflects the essence of your event or brand.
If you're looking for something different, we’ll help you create it—without compromising elegance or readability.
Can I design the plaque myself, or do you handle it?
As you prefer.You can send us your ready-to-print design, or leave it in the hands of our graphic design team.
If you already have it:
Just send us the file and we’ll email you a mockup for approval before production. Nothing gets made without your green light.
If we design it:
Send us your logo, fonts, style references, and brand guidelines (if any). Our creative team will prepare several proposals and send them to you by email. We’ll refine them until you’re 100% satisfied.
We only print after your explicit approval—no surprises, no room for error.
What’s the difference between colour finish and laser engraving on a plaque?
Laser engraving delivers a more subtle, elegant result—ideal for understated styles.
Colour finish allows for more complex graphics, full-colour logos, and high-impact visual effects. Both options retain the quality and durability of the base material.
How do I send you the text or design for the plaque?
On each product page, you’ll find step-by-step instructions to upload text, logos, or brand documents during checkout.
If you prefer, you can also email them to us later.
And if you need help at any point, we’re here to support you throughout the process.
Can I order a wooden award plaque?
Yes. Our catalogue includes models with FSC-certified beech wood bases—a warm, stable and visually sober material, ideal for formal or institutional settings.
We also work with other responsible materials such as recycled post-consumer plastic (dense and stone-like in appearance), recycled rubber (with a unique texture and symbolic value), reclaimed fishing nets (with a distinctive visual finish), and recycled concrete, which gives a bold and solid look.
If you're looking for a plaque made entirely of wood, custom-designed and aligned with your brand or event, we can also develop it as a bespoke project. Write to us and we’ll find the best option together.
What types of recognition are ideal to commemorate with a plaque?
Career achievements, commercial milestones, acknowledgments to collaborators, or team milestones.
Recognition plaques are a direct way to give value to moments that deserve to be highlighted and remembered.
