The Composites™ Acrylic Award line stands out not only for its look, but also for how each piece is made. Like the cast acrylic embedments in our Array™ line, Composites™ trophies are created through a true casting process, not made from fabricated flat acrylic sheets.

Every ColorCast™ Acrylic Trophy is made in the USA from top-quality Lucite® acrylic by our skilled team. Each award is carefully machined, hand-polished, and assembled to ensure clarity, consistency, and lasting shine.

Today, we begin the series with one of our most versatile and eye-catching collections — the Aspect™ Acrylic Awards. Whether you’re recognizing leadership, service, or innovation, these designs transform success into lasting brilliance.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll take a closer look at each award line in this series—highlighting design options, real-life applications, and tips for choosing the right recognition piece.

Many collectors have begun requesting custom keepsakes to protect and display their coins inside a crystal-clear thermoplastic named Lucite®. Suspending inside acrylic resins brings out the detail and highlights the colorful designs most challenge coins possess.

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.

Studies have shown that companies with robust recognition programs, including the use of tangible awards like acrylic awards and Lucite® embedments, experience higher employee engagement and productivity.

Acrylic cube embedments have emerged as a popular choice for recognition awards across various industries and sectors. This versatile medium combines aesthetic appeal with functionality, making it an ideal vehicle for celebrating achievements, milestones, and contributions. From corporate settings to educational institutions, acrylic cube embedments are not only visually striking but also carry significant meaning by encapsulating treasures inside crystal clear Lucite®, thus enhancing their role as valuable tokens of appreciation.

If manufactured properly, Lucite® – the purest form of acrylic, is by nature crystal clear and an exceptional substrate for adding color. Understanding the nature of Lucite® and color theory will help you to make the best decisions when selecting acrylic trophies, plaques, or medals.

Genuine recognition does not need to be complicated or extravagant. The most important aspect is to recognize people for their contributions directly or better yet in front of their peer group.
