Laser EngravingThe imprint area on this product is 8 inches wide by 4 inches tall, printed by laser engraving. Your artwork prints inside the dashed area below — nothing outside it prints. Products often look larger in a photo than the space you can actually print on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gavel plaque and what is it used for?
A gavel plaque is a wall or desk award built from a piano-finish board with a decorative gavel mounted above an engraved plate. It is used most often to honor judges, attorneys, bar association officers and outgoing board chairs at the end of a term of service. The gavel itself is a symbol of authority and order, which is why legal, municipal and association groups choose this style over a plain rectangular award.
How does a gavel plaque compare to a crystal or acrylic award?
A gavel plaque carries a three-dimensional mounted ornament and an engraved metal plate, while crystal and acrylic awards carry the artwork inside or on the surface of a single clear piece. The plaque reads clearly against a wall or a paneled office because the piano-finish board provides a solid dark or wood-tone background, whereas clear awards depend on the light and surface behind them. Laser engraving on the plate also stays legible from across a room, which matters when the award hangs rather than sits on a desk.
What colors is this plaque available in?
The board is offered in Black, Gold and Rosewood. Every color uses the same 10.5 by 13 inch board, so switching finishes does not change the mounting hardware, the plate size or the engraving layout. Black and Rosewood are the two most requested finishes for legal and municipal recognition.
What is a piano finish and how does laser engraving hold up on it?
Piano finish is a multi-coat lacquer applied over a wood board and polished to a high gloss, the same finishing method used on instrument cabinets. The engraving does not sit on the lacquer at all: the laser cuts the lettering into the mounted plate, so the text cannot rub off, fade in sunlight or wash away. Because the mark is physical rather than printed, the plaque reads the same in year 10 as it does on presentation day.
Can I put a company logo and custom wording on a gavel plaque?
Yes, a logo and full custom wording are laser engraved into the plate before the plate is mounted. Send vector artwork in .ai, .eps or a high-resolution PDF so fine logo details and small type hold their edges at engraving size. Fine gradients and photographs do not reproduce, because laser engraving renders a single-tone mark rather than shades of gray.
How long does production take on a custom engraved plaque?
Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you sign off on the proof, not when the order is placed, so returning proof approval the same day is the fastest way to protect a ceremony date. Transit time is added on top of the 5 production days, so allow shipping days when you set your in-hands date.
What events and industries order gavel plaques most often?
Gavel plaques are ordered most often by law firms, courts, bar associations, city councils, school boards and homeowner associations. Typical occasions are a judicial retirement, an outgoing president or chair handing off a gavel, a partner promotion, a swearing-in ceremony and an annual installation dinner. Groundbreaking ceremonies and construction milestones use the shovel key version of the same board.
How do I clean and care for a gavel plaque?
Dust the piano-finish board with a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth and buff it in the direction of the grain. Keep ammonia, glass cleaner and abrasive pads off both the lacquer and the engraved plate, since they dull the gloss and can leave permanent haze. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and heating vents, because prolonged heat can lift lacquer on any wood-core board.
How much does a custom gavel plaque cost?
Pricing is quoted per order rather than published, because the total depends on quantity, board finish, the ornament you select and the amount of engraving on the plate. Ordering several plaques together lowers the per-unit cost, since art setup is prepared once and reused across the run. Ask for a quote with your quantity, finish and wording, and we will price the exact configuration.
