Full Color Silver Plate Plaque on Ebony Piano Finish

A full color silver plate plaque is a recognition award built from a digitally printed silver-toned plate mounted on an ebony piano finish wood base. Organizations order it for employee service awards, retirement gifts, donor recognition and sponsor thank-you pieces. The full color print reproduces artwork that engraved metal cannot show, such as photographs and multi-color logos.

A full color plaque prints artwork digitally onto the plate, so photos, gradients and unlimited ink colors reproduce exactly as designed. An engraved plaque cuts the design into the metal, which limits the result to one tone and simple line art. Choose full color when the logo carries brand colors or the award includes a photograph.

Order the 10.5 x 13 inch plaque when the text runs to a list of names or a full citation paragraph, because it carries the largest print field. The 7 x 9 inch size holds a name, a title and a date comfortably. The 8 x 10 and 9 x 12 inch sizes suit a short award citation of three or four lines.

Yes, the full color silver plate plaque reproduces photographs, logos and gradients in a single printing pass, so no color count applies. Send the highest resolution artwork you have, since the print holds the detail in the file you supply. Decoration covers the silver plate only, and the ebony piano finish base stays undecorated.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval on the full color silver plate plaque. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order, so a same-day approval keeps the schedule tight. Add transit time on top of production when you plan around a ceremony date.

Silver plate plaques are ordered most often for retirement ceremonies, years-of-service milestones, sales achievement awards, donor and sponsor recognition, sports banquets and building dedications. Schools, nonprofits, healthcare systems, real estate brokerages and municipal offices are the heaviest buyers. Wall-mounted recognition displays in lobbies use the larger sizes.

Wipe the plaque with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, working with light pressure on the gloss base. Keep ammonia glass cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads away from the printed plate, since they can dull or lift the ink. Hang the plaque out of direct sunlight so the printed colors hold their tone.

Per-unit cost on the full color silver plate plaque tracks three factors: the size you choose, the number of plaques on the order and the artwork setup. The four sizes each price on their own ladder, and per-unit cost drops as the quantity rises. Send your size and quantity for an exact per-unit figure.
