Timeless recognition with crystal awards by Cristaux
“Cristaux is French for “crystal”. And when crystal is in the hands of our expert team, true magic happens. Not only do we use the highest quality for our crystal awards, but we also know how to work with it. With our precision and craftsmanship, your vision for the custom award made from crystal can take any form. To uphold our unmatched standards, we always achieve the exceptional for our clients.
How to make crystal awards
Crystal is moderately flexible to work with. Due to the material’s low working temperature, it is easier to sculpt and embellish than other award materials. However, it does tend to be thinner. Despite its slimness, it can still carry substantial weight.
Depending on your vision, there are a few different ways to shape crystal.We can use, for example, a waterjet. This machine uses a pressurized water stream to cut through thick materials. We can also shape crystal by using the Pate de Verre method. This allows us to press the crystal into a mold.
When designing and producing custom crystal awards, we also consider the other materials we can use. A piece made out of crystal is refined and sophisticated. However, this material also pairs well with others like metal, marble, and 3D-printed elements.
Personalized + engraved custom crystal creations
How easily a material is processed determines how personalized a piece is. For example, crystal and aluminum have differences in this flexibility. While some aluminums are painted, crystal can be personalized through digital printing, sand etching, and embedding. When deciding what to include on your custom crystal award, consider the following:
- Award program details
- Recipient information
- Company branding
- Inspirational symbols
Far too often, clients disregard the significance of personalization. To avoid subpar results, make sure to adjust personalization effects when you first proof the design.
Our in-house personalization capabilities include more than the decoration of a custom crystal award. From live production status updates to studio photography, our team works hard to support you throughout the process. Seeking vendors with personalization control is one of our recognition rules to live by.
High-end crystal awards, trophies + more: limitless forms + materials
At Cristaux, we offer a diverse set of custom crystal awards. However, we are always on the lookout for something new to design. For your project, we’re excited to incorporate crystal in different forms and with other materials. Identify your vision and explore which crystal awards are possible.
Custom trophy awards
Custom trophies are reserved for the fiercest achievers and leaders. Crystal is the best suited material to make a statement. From gaming trophies to football tournaments, crystal is the winning material for your champions. Make your custom crystal award special with company branded shapes, colors, and content.
Custom metal awards
Metal gives any award a glossy and polished effect. When paired with crystal, it becomes even more elevated. With the shine of metal and the dazzle of crystal, each piece is undeniably striking. Additionally, metal and crystal both work well for custom statue and custom sculpture awards.
Custom glass awards
Glass is a refined choice of material. You can celebrate a new milestone with custom wine glasses or honor deserving employees with personal sales awards. However, it is important to consider the differences between glass and crystal. From clarity to cut, these two materials are not as similar as they may seem.
Custom acrylic awards
No matter how unique your vision is, acrylic is an exceptional option. It is a durable yet light-weight choice for any custom award. At Cristaux, we use Lucite: the industry’s leading acrylic. This material is easy to mold and looks cohesive with other textures.
