Acrylic Plaque With Brass Channels Offset From Piano Finish

An acrylic plaque with brass channels is a recognition award that mounts a clear acrylic panel on polished brass channels so the panel sits slightly above a wood backing board. The gap between the printed acrylic and the black piano finish base gives the award visible depth instead of a flat printed face. Corporate award programs use this format when they want full-color artwork with more dimension than a single-panel design.

An acrylic plaque carries full-color printed artwork, while most glass and crystal awards are etched or engraved in a single tone. Acrylic weighs less than crystal and resists chipping if the piece tips on a desk, and this plaque adds a wood base that a freestanding crystal block does not have. Choose acrylic when the artwork includes a photograph, a gradient or more than two logo colors.

Piano finish is a high-gloss lacquered wood surface, and it forms the backing board that the acrylic panel mounts to. The plaque combines acrylic for the printed panel, cast metal for the brass channels and hardware, and piano finish wood for the base. Gold is the second finish option if black does not match the recognition program.

Yes, VividPrint reproduces full-color artwork directly on the acrylic panel with digital precision. Photographs, gradients and multi-color logos print without color separations, so a headshot or a detailed crest reproduces the same way a brochure would. Send print-ready artwork with the order, because approval of that artwork starts the production clock.

Production runs 5 working days, counted from artwork approval rather than from the day the order is placed. Transit time is separate, so add shipping days when you work backward from an awards ceremony date. Approving the proof the day it arrives is the surest way to hold that 5-day window.

Acrylic recognition plaques are ordered for service anniversaries, annual sales banquets, board and donor recognition, dealer and channel partner awards, safety milestone programs and academic honors. Financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate and nonprofit organizations buy them most often. They also work for retirement presentations where a printed citation matters more than an engraved line of text.

No safety or environmental certifications are published for this plaque, and none apply to a desk or wall award with no food or skin contact. The listed materials are acrylic, cast metal and lacquered piano finish wood. Ask us before ordering if your organization requires material documentation, and we will request it from the manufacturer.

Wipe the acrylic panel with a soft microfiber cloth and either plain water or a cleaner formulated for acrylic. Ammonia-based glass cleaners haze and craze acrylic over time, so keep standard window cleaner away from the panel. Dust the brass channels and piano finish base dry, and keep the plaque out of direct sunlight to protect the printed color.

Per-unit cost on this plaque tracks three things: the panel size, the order quantity and the imprint. The 9" x 12" size prices higher per unit than the 8" x 10", and the per-unit figure falls as the quantity rises. Send us your size and quantity and we will quote a firm per-unit price before you commit.
