Beveled Starfire Crystal Plaque Offset From Carbon Fiber

A beveled Starfire crystal plaque is a wall award built from low-iron glass with polished angled edges, mounted in front of a finished backing board. Starfire glass holds far less green tint than standard float glass, so printed color reads true instead of shifting cool. Buyers choose it for recognition programs that want a photographic logo rather than a plain engraved plate.

Full color VividPrint on glass is the main difference, since a standard wood plaque carries an engraved or etched metal plate only. VividPrint reproduces photographs, gradients, and unlimited logo colors, none of which engraving can render. The Beveled Starfire Crystal Plaque still keeps a wood or carbon fiber backing, so it hangs and reads like a traditional award.

Five sizes are available: 7 x 9, 8 x 10, 9 x 12, 10.5 x 13, and 12 x 15 inches. Every size is offered in each backing and plate pairing, so the finish choice does not limit the size choice. The 7 x 9 suits desk and small wall placement, and the 12 x 15 reads clearly across a lobby.

Backing boards come in rosewood, walnut, black piano finish, and carbon fiber piano finish. The piano finish is a high-gloss lacquer applied over the board, which gives the black and carbon fiber options their mirror-like surface. The front layer is beveled Starfire crystal, a low-iron glass cut and polished on the edges.

Yes. VividPrint applies full color artwork directly to the Starfire crystal, including photos, gradients, and multi-color logos. Send us your artwork and we return a proof for approval before anything is printed. Production only begins once you approve that proof.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts at proof approval, not at the moment you place the order, so a slow art round pushes the ship date back. Transit time is added on top of production, so send us your event date and we will confirm the schedule before you order.

Crystal plaques are ordered most often for employee of the year awards, service anniversaries, sales achievement recognition, retirement gifts, donor and sponsor recognition, and dealer or partner of the year programs. Nonprofits and universities also use them for board member and volunteer recognition. The larger 10.5 x 13 and 12 x 15 sizes are common for permanent lobby and hall of fame displays.

Wipe the glass with a soft lint-free cloth dampened with water, and spray any cleaner onto the cloth rather than onto the plaque. Skip ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive pads on the printed face, because both can dull the ink. Dust the wood or piano finish backing dry, and keep the award out of direct sunlight to protect the print and the finish.

Per-unit price is quoted by size, backing and plate combination, and order quantity. The 7 x 9 sits at the bottom of the range and the 12 x 15 at the top, and the unit price falls as quantity rises. VividPrint is the only decoration method offered, so the quote turns on those three factors rather than on imprint choices. Send us your size and quantity and we will price it.
