Black Starfire Crystal Arrowhead Award, Wood Base, Aluminum Accents

A black crystal arrowhead award is typically ordered by companies recognizing sales achievement, executive milestones or long service, since the bold black finish reads as a modern alternative to a traditional clear crystal trophy. Human resources teams and event planners often choose it for a single honoree rather than mass distribution because of its striking, angular shape. It also works well as a repeat design across an annual awards program since the shape and finish stay consistent year to year.

A black crystal arrowhead award swaps the clear tone of a standard crystal piece for a solid black Starfire crystal body, which shows etched artwork with more contrast under direct light than a colorless piece. Because the crystal is opaque black rather than clear, light does not pass fully through the body the way it does on a clear crystal award, so the etch reads as a bright inscription against a dark background. Buyers who prefer a brighter, glass-like sparkle across the entire piece should look at a clear optical or Starfire crystal award instead.

The black crystal arrowhead award ships in three sizes, 4.5 inches by 7 inches, 5 inches by 8 inches and 5.5 inches by 9 inches, each mounted on a matching wood and aluminum base. Packaged weight rises with size, from 2 pounds for the smallest carton up to 3 pounds for the largest. Buyers building a tiered recognition program can assign the smallest size to a broader group and the largest size to a top honoree.

The engraving area on the black crystal arrowhead award grows with the piece, running 2.5 inches by 3 inches on the 4.5 by 7 inch size up to 4 inches by 5 inches on the 5.5 by 9 inch size. Every size uses deep etch decoration with one colorfill included, so the message and any logo work is cut into the crystal and then filled with color to stand out against the black background. The middle size, 5 by 8 inches, carries a 3 inch by 4 inch etching area between the other two.

The black crystal arrowhead award ships one unit per carton in a Factory Box finished in black, sized to match each award. The smallest size ships in a box measuring 4.63 inches by 4.63 inches by 7.25 inches and weighing 2 pounds, while the largest size ships in a 5.75 inch by 5.75 inch by 9.25 inch box weighing 3 pounds. Buyers ordering multiple units should plan freight around these individual per-unit cartons rather than a single bulk box.

Yes, the minimum order for a black crystal arrowhead award is one unit, so a single retirement or achievement award can be ordered without meeting a bulk quantity. Each size carries the same one-unit minimum regardless of which of the three sizes is chosen. Reordering later for another honoree does not require a new minimum purchase beyond one piece.

Production takes 5 working days from artwork approval for every size of the black crystal arrowhead award. That timeline stays the same whether the order is a single 4.5 by 7 inch piece or a larger 5.5 by 9 inch piece. Buyers should add shipping time on top of the 5 day production window when planning a ceremony date.

The price of a custom black crystal arrowhead award depends mainly on the size chosen, since the 5.5 by 9 inch version uses more crystal and a larger wood and aluminum base than the 4.5 by 7 inch version. Order quantity also affects pricing, since ordering several units at once typically lowers the average cost compared with placing a single unit order. More detailed etched artwork or a rush turnaround faster than the standard 5 working days can add to the cost as well.
