History of Acrylic Awards

Since their introduction, acrylic trophies have undergone a fascinating evolution, reflecting broader trends in design, technology, and cultural values. From their humble beginnings as simple, functional awards to their current status as versatile and sophisticated symbols of achievement – acrylic trophies have mirrored changes in materials and aesthetics. Here's a closer look at how these trophy designs have shifted over the years and what that signifies about broader award presentations and design trends.

The Evolution of the Acrylic Trophy

Acrylic can be fabricated into a multitude of custom shapes

• With the right tools and experience — acrylic can be cut, sanded, printed on, laser engraved and polished to perfection. Each of our trademarked acrylic lines are created by skilled craftsmen using the finest equipment in the industry. Whether you need a patent book cast into an acrylic embedment or a mountain shaped acrylic award there are no finer acrylic artisans in the USA than those you will find at USAcrylicAwards.com
• Acrylic awards can be designed using computer modeling software prior to fabrication which allows for visual mockups and adjustments to the final outcome. Our factory is an innovator in the acrylic award market creating the most unique custom acrylic recognition awards available in the US and Canada.

Acrylic is by nature resistant to breaking and chipping

• Unlike glass, Acrylic Awards are inherently unbreakable. The molecular structure of acrylic is such that it takes significant stress to break it. Scratches are easily buffed and repaired plus if an award gets chipped often times it can be sanded and re-polished to perfection and look as good as new. Glass and crystal on the other hand cannot be repaired and will most likely need to be replaced at a high cost.
• Side by side acrylic awards are more durable than glass and crystal plus will hold up better to common stress including tipping and scratches.

Acrylic Awards travels well and ship easily

• Acrylic by nature weighs less than half that of glass and significantly less even than crystal depending on the lead content. Though weighty itself, acrylic trophies ship compact because less packaging is needed. Allowing more awards to go into each box saving a significant amount in dimensional and package weights.
• If an acrylic award shatters, it will break into large pieces. Unlike glass and crystal that may shatter and leave shards of dangerous fragments to clean up.
• Though we often ship directly to our corporate clientele’s recognition events, some of our clients travel with their awards tucked neatly in a suitcase. Because acrylic awards package tightly, our customers have found traveling with acrylic a better solution than the bulky glass and crystal options.
