Etched and Colorfilled Plaque on Rosewood Piano Finish

An etched and colorfilled plaque is a wall-mounted recognition award that carries a recipient name, a date, and a short inscription on a metal plate. Organizations order it for employee service milestones, retirement presentations, donor recognition walls, and annual award nights. The colorfill puts the text in a chosen color so it stays readable from several feet away.

An etched and colorfilled plaque fills the recessed artwork with a chosen color, so the lettering contrasts against the gold or silvertone plate instead of reading in the metal's own tone. Laser engraving leaves the mark the same color as the surrounding metal, which reads more subtly at a distance. Etching and colorfill handles one color in one location, so single-color logos and text reproduce well while multi-color artwork does not.

The plaque comes in four sizes: 7 by 9 inches, 8 by 10 inches, 9 by 12 inches, and 10.5 by 13 inches. The metal plate scales with the plaque, so the larger boards carry more inscription lines. Pick 9 by 12 inches or 10.5 by 13 inches when the text lists multiple names, a long citation, or a sponsor logo alongside the wording.

The plaque board is wood carried in a rosewood piano finish, a high-gloss lacquered surface, with an etched metal plate in gold or silvertone mounted to the front. Rosewood is the only board color offered on this item. The gloss surface and wood core suit indoor display in offices, lobbies, and boardrooms rather than outdoor or high-humidity locations.

Yes. Artwork on the etched and colorfilled plaque prints as one color in one location, so a single-color logo, the recipient name, and an inscription all sit within that one imprint. Choose the plate tone, gold or silvertone, and the fill color that goes into the etched areas. Send vector artwork so fine lettering holds its edges at plaque size, and approve the proof before production starts.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you sign off on the proof, not when you place the order, so returning proof approval the same day is what keeps a ceremony date safe. Transit time is added on top of the 5 working days, so allow for shipping when you set the deadline.

Wood award plaques are ordered most often for employee years-of-service anniversaries, retirement send-offs, sales and top-performer awards, and volunteer or donor appreciation. Schools and clubs use them for coach recognition, sports banquets, and scholarship presentations. Civic groups and builders use the larger sizes for building dedications and ribbon-cutting ceremonies.

Wipe the piano finish with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and nothing else. Ammonia-based glass cleaners, solvents, and abrasive pads dull the gloss lacquer and can lift the color from the etched areas of the plate. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and heating vents, since both fade the fill color and can check the wood over time.

Per-unit pricing is quoted rather than published for this plaque, and the figure moves with three things: which of the four sizes you choose, how many units you order, and the artwork setup for the etched plate. The 7 by 9 inch size sits at the low end of the range and 10.5 by 13 inches at the top. Per-unit cost drops as quantity rises, so ask for pricing at more than one quantity before you decide.
