Plaques: Definition
Plaques and internal signage are a type of recognition typically made in the shape of a tablet and from various materials like wood and metal. They also are often designed to be hung on a wall or other surface. These pieces recognize people, teams, events, or specific accomplishments. Additionally, they are well suited for certification and performance programs.
Plaque awards made from select materials
Plaques are a well-known type of recognition, easily reinvented with different materials. By working with Cristaux, you’ll discover what is best for your design.
Wood plaques
Wood is one of the most popular materials used to manufacture certificate plaques because it is commonly used to frame the main element. It achieves a strong and natural effect for any piece. This material may also be used as the backdrop for a design. Additionally, it can be decorated with a metal veneer to respect a limited budget while achieving a sleek effect.
Glass plaques
Crystal and glass plaques are timeless and sophisticated. With our years of experience, our team can expertly etch or engrave any glass plaque. Crystal is our namesake specialty, and we take immense pride in every crystal award that leaves our facility.
Metal plaques
By using metal, you can elevate any plaque design. This sharp and sleek material can be personalized in many ways. Techniques include digital printing, die casting or molding, cutting, acid etching, sublimation, and painting. Whether you imagine a polished or matte finish, metal will bend to your vision.
Acrylic plaques
Acrylic can serve many diverse purposes for custom plaques. It can be used as a transparent and non-glare cover or as a clean and modern frame. This material can also be molded into smaller elements to further detail your design.
