Perpetual Plaques

Shown below is just an example of the styles of perpetual plaques available. The example on the left is shown using mahogany finished, American walnut plaques and antique bronze eagle attachments. We recommend ordering a smaller plaque in a similar style to the perpetual plaque to give to the recipient. They really appreciate it! We've had clients who have come back to us to reorder another perpetual because the recipient would not give back their award!

The plaque shown in the center is a custom layout, including a 4" x 6" photo and a custom engraved plate layout, along with 12 perpetual plates on a 12" x 15" solid walnut plaque.

We also offer perpetual plaques in glass, acrylic and many wood choice styles. Custom arrangements are always available. On the right, you can see a paper layout for a custom perpetual plaque and then the final version to the left of that.

Perpetual awards don't have to be plaques; they can also be figures on large bases with plates for engraving placed around the base for years of additional names. There are many figures to be used, for example, three shooting stars in cast gold to honor your rising stars. Let us know the theme of your perpetual presentation and we will work with you to find the perfect figure.

more plaque ideas

There are so many materials that we use to make our plaques it is impossible to show them all here on our site. We decided to give a few examples of outstanding plaque styles to just give you an idea of what is possible when we create your special and unique award.

Our first example shows a smooth edged, high gloss piano finish ebony plaque with a antique silver frame and a high gloss black brass engraved plate. This plaque also comes in piano finish Rosewood, and other frames & metal colors are available. We have a wide variety of engraving material to use for the center plate. The 10.5" x 13" plaque shown below with the attached frame and engraved plate is priced at $237.15, including engraving. If you wish to include a logo, add $95.00 for logo conversion.

Custom Plaques

Often we will get a request from a client to create a plaque that is truly unique. That is the case for the plaques shown above. The wood slab of Douglas Fir shown on the upper left represented a material the company is famous for, and was approximately 2 feet round. The copy was lasered directly in to the wood, creating a memorable and stunning finished product that was an honor to give & receive. The other plaques shown were particularly chosen in shape and grain to match the purpose of the presentation and each individual recipient.

Glass Plaques

It is not possible to do full justice to glass plaques with a photo. The weight, glow and beauty of glass in a picture simply does not come through. Below is one style of glass plaque in blue tones. Although the blue is beautiful, especially for those of our clients involved with water, outdoors or law enforcement, the favorite in our Emerald City area is the green! Colors the plaques come in are shown under this sample. Glass plaques come in a range of sizes; some styles are available in limited sizing. Contact us for more information on glass plaques. The 9" x 12" style shown below is $197.48 & includes the engraved plate. If you have a logo you would like to have engraved, add $95.00 for engraving conversion.

Below is shown a plaque that we designed for one of our clients. It is a solid walnut 5" x 7", and shows three different processes - laser, attaching an client item on the plaque, and an engraved plate. This plaque was created to thank those who worked together to complete a special project, and includes a piece of the old equipment.

There are so many possibilities when it comes to creating plaques. We work with many different materials to create a solution to your search for something unique.

Even our least expensive fiberboard plaques deserve our special touch to give you a high end look on a limited budget. We create our plaques using layouts and materials that will set your award apart from all the rest. You will be proud to present our awards! Fiberboard plaques come in a variety of finishes - marble, walnut, cherry, oak, white with oak or black trim and as you can see by our sample photos, the layouts can be varied. All our plates are backed by at least one back plate of a complimentary color, and for some projects, we find using two back plates really sets off the final product.

Embedments

Embedments are available in unlimited quantities. The greater number you purchase at one time, the less they cost. The most difficult item we have had embedded was a charcoal briquette - did you know when briquettes touch liquid they dissolve? But for us, no problem is insurmountable, so we just had to figure out how to seal the briquette before putting it into the liquid acrylic. And we were successful! Contact us with what you are interested in embedding, and we will get a quote together for you. Depending on the final order specs, most embedment orders take about 5-6 weeks to have in hand from the time we submit the order.
