Choosing the Best Acrylic Awards FOR YOU

Hopefully you have gotten to this point because you read my article on corporate awards and this is one of the possibilities for your awards selection. Ordering acrylic awards can be a confusing proposition. Size, color, shape, quality, cost and production time all come to mind as variables that make the selection process difficult. I would take all 5 of these categories and prioritize what is most important. If you don’t have an idea of where to start, check out our acrylic section and cruise around for a couple of minutes. That should be able to give you an idea of what you like or don’t like. If you are still stuck, give us a call at 877-926-4700. We will try and give you some guidance.

We have filtered out our suppliers to three: RB Fabrication, PDU, and ‘others’. We are considering adding a 4th main supplier of acrylic awards. Why I bring up our suppliers is that each affords a niche in the acrylic awards market. I would venture to say there are 4 levels of suppliers in the industry ranging from downright cheap (level 1, poor quality and inexpensive price) to upscale (level 4, high quality and expensive price). I would rate PDU as a 2 and RB Fabrication as a 3. We will be adding a level 4 supplier in the next year to compliment our product line. Our level 4 supplier will offer unique, creative and high quality acrylic awards. We will not bring on a level 1 supplier because if I am not willing to buy it, I am sure you won’t want to either – no matter how low the price.

You say, cut to the chase, Jeff. OK, I understand…here is what you should do. If you want the lowest price possible and you do not care about the quality of the product or accuracy/craftsmanship of the engraving, go to dinntrophy or crowntrophy.

Otherwise:

Visit our PDU acrylic section if your highest priorities are:

· Cost

· Production Time (meaning you need it in a week or less)

· Shape

These are our most popular acrylic awards. They usually come in jade green or clear. The etching is done with a laser engraver, so the resolution is great and it gives a crisp and clean frosted look.

We sell a lot of these as service awards, sales awards, and recognition awards. If you want to be safe and quick, these are the best for you. I would suggest choosing the shape, size and color (clear or jade green) that best fits the feeling of the award you want to present. In addition, if you are ordering in quantity, make sure to look at the quantity discount price and know that there are no extra setup charges or engraving fees.

Visit our RB Fabrication acrylic section if your highest priorities are:

· Quality

· Color

· Size

· Shape

If your budget can afford a little more, these acrylics are incredible. RB acrylics have more style and more color choices. They are also made in the US (by some really cool people by the way). These acrylics are the trend setters in the industry.

We sell these acrylics to companies that want something different. Oftentimes, they want a theme or certain style or certain color to be in alignment with their brand or corporate culture. If you want to be unique and special, these are the acrylics for you.
