Imprinted Ashford Small Plaque Award

A walnut plaque award is a wall-mounted recognition piece made from walnut hardwood, decorated with an engraved or printed panel that carries a recipient's name and citation. Companies, schools and nonprofits use it for service anniversaries, retirement recognition and donor acknowledgment. Buyers usually order several at once so a recognition display stays consistent as new names are added each year.

A walnut plaque award mounts on a wall, while crystal and acrylic awards are built to stand on a desk or shelf. Wood accepts laser engraving cut directly into the surface and also takes 4 color process printing, so a single item can carry engraved text and a full-color logo. Wood surfaces do not show the fingerprints that mark polished crystal and acrylic in a handled display.

Yes, the Ashford Small Plaque Award accepts a full-color logo through 4 color process printing, and it also supports laser engraving, single-color and custom ink colors. Artwork can be placed on the vertical plate at 4.75 inches wide by 6.75 inches high, on the horizontal plate, or directly on the wood front. Send vector artwork when possible, since logo resizing and additional art prep are billed as separate charges.

Production runs 5 to 7 business days after art approval for both laser engraving and 4 color process decoration. Blank plaques ship in 1 to 3 business days because they skip the decoration step. Transit time is added on top of production, so count shipping days back from any ceremony or banquet date.

You can order a single plaque, and the price ladder starts at one unit with breaks at 6, 10 and 25 units. Exact-quantity orders carry no additional charge, so there is no need to round up to the next tier. Individual recipient names can be added piece by piece as a personalization line on the order.

Per-unit pricing runs from $62.80 at one unit down to $45.27 at 25 units, with tiers at 6 units ($57.14) and 10 units ($50.86). A $50 setup charge applies per order, and an exact repeat of a previous order drops that to $25. Quantity, decoration method and art prep drive the final cost: personalization adds $7 per piece, logo resizing is $20, and art time is billed at $10 per 15 minutes.

Walnut plaques are ordered most often for employee service anniversaries, retirement recognition, sales achievement programs, donor and sponsor walls, sports banquets, and volunteer or board appreciation. Schools use them for coach and faculty recognition, and cities use them for dedication and commemoration displays. Real estate and healthcare offices order them for top-producer and clinical excellence programs.

Plaques ship 15 per carton in a box measuring 19 by 13 by 13 inches. An order of 30 units therefore arrives as two cartons, which matters when a venue has limited receiving space. Drop shipment and split shipment each add $8.50 when an order goes to more than one address.

Dust a walnut plaque award with a dry, soft cloth, wiping along the grain. Skip household sprays, ammonia cleaners and water, which can dull the wood finish and lift the edges of a printed plate. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and heat vents, since prolonged sun exposure lightens walnut over time.

The primary material is walnut, a hardwood, and the plaque is a wall-display item rather than a food-contact or children's product. No FSC, Prop 65 or other environmental certifications are published for this plaque, so we do not claim any. We can request supplier documentation before you order if your organization has a specific compliance requirement.
