What is the crystal book award shaped like?

The crystal book award is a solid piece of optical crystal cut to look like a closed hardcover volume. One long side is rounded to read as a spine and the opposite side carries a deep groove standing in for the page edges. Nothing sits under it, because the block is freestanding on its own bottom edge.

What sizes does the crystal book award come in?

The crystal book award comes in three sizes, measuring 3 by 4 inches, 3.75 by 5 inches and 4.5 by 6 inches. The smallest suits a desk or a shelf in a faculty office, while the tallest carries a longer citation. All three keep the same book profile, so a tiered programme still looks like one set.

Where does the etching go on a crystal book award?

The crystal book award is deep etched on the back, in an area running from 2 by 3 inches on the smallest size to 3.5 by 4.5 inches on the largest. Reading the mark through the front of the block makes the wording appear to sit inside the crystal. Deep etch is the single decoration method offered on this piece.

Which organisations order a crystal piece shaped like a book?

The crystal book award goes mostly to publishing houses, universities, school districts, libraries and cultural foundations. Literacy charities use it at campaign milestones, and academic departments hand it over at endowed chair announcements. The shape explains the occasion before anyone reads the etched line.

When will the pieces ship after artwork approval?

The crystal book award runs five working days in production, counted from the day the proof is approved. Transit time is added on top, so work backwards from the graduation or gala date. A rush schedule can be arranged when a ceremony is already fixed.

What affects the cost of ordering these etched blocks?

The crystal book award is quoted on quantity, on which of the three sizes is chosen, and on the size and complexity of the etched artwork. A repeat order using artwork already on file is simpler to set up than a fresh logo. Ask for a written quote with the quantity and size you have in mind.

Does the crystal book award need a stand or a base?

The crystal book award stands upright on its own flat bottom edge with no separate base supplied or required. That keeps the silhouette clean on a shelf and removes a part that can be lost between ceremonies. The block can be turned to face either way on a desk.

Description

The crystal book award is a solid block of optical crystal cut in the shape of a closed hardcover, rounded along one long side like a spine and grooved down the other where the page edges would sit. University deans, publishers and library boards hand it over at the end of a term or a long editorial career.

Graduation ceremonies, endowed chair announcements, literacy campaign milestones, museum donor evenings and staff retirement dinners in education all suit a piece that looks like the thing being celebrated. There is no separate base to align, since the block stands on its own flat bottom edge and can be turned to face a room from either side. Deep etching goes on the back, across an area from 2 by 3 inches on the smallest size up to 3.5 by 4.5 inches on the largest, and the etched line appears to hang in the middle of the block when you read it through the front. Three heights are offered, at 4 inches, 5 inches and 6 inches, so a department can tier its awards.

Schools and outreach teams often order it beside the logo home safety coloring book, which goes home with hundreds of families on the same open day while this block stays with one person. One is the keepsake a principal keeps on a desk for twenty years, the other is the handout that leaves the building in a rucksack that afternoon, and both sit in the education range.

Give the wording and the crest to a rep and a proof comes back before any etching starts, showing exactly how the citation sits behind the spine curve, with five working days of production after approval.
