Plexiglass Awards & Plaques

Why Awards and Plaque Engravers Should Choose Plexiglass

Those in the business of engraving would do well to understand the distinctive qualities of materials such as plexiglass when it comes to these purposes. They are superior to glass in several important ways, making them the preferred choice for professional engravers and their clients alike.

Superior Performance Benefits

Unmatched Durability

This is one of the biggest arguments in favor of engraving plastic sheets such as plexiglass into plaques and awards, not only from an engraver's point of view but the end client's as well. A glass award might shatter or get chipped should it happen to be dropped, while metal objects might leave unsightly scratches. With plexiglass and acrylic materials, such worries become obsolete. They are high-quality, shatter-proof materials designed to take any knocks and bumps with no visible damage.

Crystal Clear Optical Quality

One of the most persistent myths regarding plastic engraving is that it does not offer the same levels of clarity and sharpness one gets with glass plaques and awards. This is a false assumption. The quality and optical clarity of modern plexiglass and acrylic are practically indistinguishable from glass in these regards. The finished product will be just as impressive as any you could produce with glass.

Easy to Work With

Quality engraving calls for a certain degree of skill and experience. Certain materials such as glass and steel make the task more complicated, especially when the required engraving is uncommon or complicated. The responsiveness of plexiglass makes them a joy to work with, allowing engravers to focus on delivering the very best finished product without fighting the material.

Practical Advantages for Engravers

Lightweight and Safe

The fact that plexiglass engraving and other cut-to-size plastic options are so much lighter than glass or metal presents two undeniable advantages. They are more easily manipulated throughout the engraving, transportation, and presentation stages. This characteristic also makes them much less of a risk in typical home or office environments - a plexiglass award toppling off a bookshelf poses minimal threat compared to metal or glass pieces.

Cost-Effective Production

Managing overhead costs is a concern for any awards and plaque engraving professionals. The initial cost of these plastics in their raw form will be significantly lower than glass or metal. You will also incur fewer costs in terms of labor hours, power consumption, and tool wear. This allows you to increase profit margins while providing clients with exceptional value.

Low Maintenance

The smooth surfaces can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a cloth, making maintenance minimal - perfect for today's busy workforce. Unlike other materials, plexiglass awards maintain their appearance with simple care.
