Award, medal and trophy engraving
How to create personalized trophies and medals
Celebrating an achievement or recognizing a performance, whether it's physical or intellectual, deserves to be commemorated with a tangible memento. Engrave your clients' accomplishments on trophies, cups, medals, plaques, or any reward, and offer them the embodiment of their success!
Personalizing trophies or engraving medals is a popular trend that significantly enhances their emotional value, while allowing you to increase your profit margins.
There are two ways to personalize a trophy:
- Beginners: engrave and cut custom labels to fix onto a blank trophy or award.
- Experienced engravers: engrave the award surface using an engraving machine.
Trophy engraving: what solutions?

Trophy label engraving and cutting
Are you looking to diversify your business by providing your customers with personalized trophies and awards? Engraving and cutting trophy labels is the best way to start! Engraving on a flat surface is easier than personalizing a trophy, which may have a curved or irregular surface. Labels, badges and pins can be engraved individually and in advance with your trophy plate engraving machine. If an error is made in the engraving, all you have to do is to replace the trophy or gift label.
Engraving and cutting custom plaques and labels to be placed on a blank trophy is common and easy.
Simply design your template, dimensions, and label shape on your software, then launch the engraving and cutting process on your laser or mechanical trophy engraving machine.

Award and trophy engraving
If you are familiar with the world of engraving or wish to make it your main activity, directly engraving medals, trophies, awards or any other item adds real value and provides a superior impression of quality.
The trophy material and the result you are looking for will influence the choice of engraving technology.
rophy laser engraving machines are more indicated for wooden and acrylic trophies and awards engraving, while mechanical trophy engraving machines are preferred for glass and metal trophies.
When engraving glass trophies and awards, we recommend the use of a diamond tip to achieve a fine, elegant, and authentic engraving.
Engrave curved and cylindrical cups and awards along their entire length using a rotary device. The trophy engraving is clean, precise, and of equal depth up to 360°. Offer your clients the Wow effect of a professional-quality trophy!
