Farnsworth/Simplicity Plaque

The Farnsworth/Simplicity Plaque suits a single employee, volunteer or team member marking a specific achievement. Office managers and HR staff order it as a stand-alone gift rather than part of a matching set. The brass plate arrives ready for engraving, with no assembly needed.

A cherry laminate plaque uses a painted laminate board finished in cherry or burgundy, while a bamboo plaque shows the wood's natural grain. The Farnsworth/Simplicity Plaque pairs its laminate board with a solid brass engraving plate for a formal, uniform color. Buyers who want the look of real wood grain instead of a painted finish should compare the Bamboo/Marquis Plaque.

A cherry laminate plaque takes laser engraving on the brass plate, not on the laminate board itself. The engraved area ranges from 4 x 6 inches up to 8 x 10 inches, depending on a plaque size chosen from 7 x 9 up to 9 x 12 inches. The engraving location stays the same across sizes, always on the mounted brass plate.

A cherry laminate plaque suits retirement dinners, sales award nights and long-service milestones. Civic groups and nonprofits also use it for volunteer and board recognition. Its brass plate and laminate finish give it a more formal look than a certificate alone.

The Farnsworth/Simplicity Plaque costs more in the 9 x 12 inch size than the 7 x 9 inch size, since the larger board and plate use more material. The amount of engraved text can also change the cost. Ordering multiple plaques at once typically lowers the cost compared with a single order.

The Farnsworth/Simplicity Plaque has a minimum order of one plaque, so a single award ships without a case requirement. Production takes 5 business days after artwork approval. Buyers planning an award ceremony should order with that lead time in mind.
