The top award of the night
One standout piece with the name, the year and your logo, sized to be photographed on stage.
Acrylic awards & plaques / made in New York
Custom acrylic awards and employee recognition plaques, made in NYC.
PrintAWorld makes custom acrylic awards and employee recognition plaques in New York: employee of the year, sales and years-of-service awards in acrylic, wood and metal. We laser-cut the shape, engrave the names and UV print your logo in color, all in our own studio, from one award to a whole ceremony. Engraving is a $75 setup plus $45–$65 per award; the award itself is quoted per project.
Not from a catalog
Corporate awards cut, engraved and printed in-house.
Award catalogs sell the same glass shapes with your text on them. We cut the award in your shape, layer colors, print the logo and engrave each name, so it looks like your company made it.
For a signature award, we 3D model and sculpt the top and mount it on an engraved base, the way we make custom trophies.

Plan an award orderFrom client emails
What our clients wrote to us.
Our clients rarely leave online reviews, so these are from the emails they sent us after their projects, quoted as written.
“…I am absolutely blown away by your work! I cannot thank you enough for turning my silly idea into reality”
“I know we were asking for a lot on a compressed timeline, but really appreciate you and the teams’ flexibility to get the job done and make some quality pieces. Our development team from Japan were really impressed from the quality…”
“…the winners absolutely loved their trophies! They were so happy and excited to receive them. … I truly appreciate you working with us on such a tight timeline.”
Before you order
Custom award questions, answered.
How much do custom recognition awards cost?
Laser engraving is a $75 setup per job plus $45–$65 per piece for medium items. The award itself (cutting, layers, color printing, bases) is quoted per project. Sculpted 3D awards are priced like our custom trophies, from $250 per piece. Ask for several quantities and we price each one.
Do you make crystal or glass awards?
We focus on awards we cut and make in-house: colored acrylic, wood, metal and 3D-printed sculpture. We can engrave a glass award you already have, after a test.
Can you make custom acrylic awards in our shape?
Yes. We laser cut acrylic to your logo or any outline, layer colors, and UV print the logo in full color on the same piece.
Can every award have a different name?
Yes. Send the names in a spreadsheet; the design stays the same and each award gets its own name and title.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One award is fine. The $75 setup is charged once per job, so a larger run costs less per piece.
How far ahead should we order?
Standard laser engraving lead time is 2–3 weeks after the items reach us, plus shipping. For an awards night, start three to four weeks before the event. Rush jobs are possible case by case; tell us your in-hand date.
Do you ship?
Yes, anywhere in the United States, or pickup from our studios in Glendale, Queens or Brooklyn by appointment. Mailing each piece to a different address is quoted per project.
