Key Features
- Die-cast in a 3D shovel form, polished and plated bright gold — a fully modeled tool, not a flat silhouette.
- Overall length is 6-1/2" — a hand-held size that displays on a desk without a stand.
- Copy fits either a 1" x 1" square on the head or a 2" x 3/16" strip on the shaft — one location is decorated, not both.
- Artwork is printed onto the casting itself — the mark sits on the gold surface at either location.
- Gold is the only listed finish — the piece arrives in one consistent plating across the run.

Description
This gold plated shovel award is a 6.5" die cast 3D shovel, polished and plated bright gold, so a groundbreaking ceremony gets a keepsake that looks the part. It is made for construction firms, developers and civic groups that want to mark the day the first dirt is turned and the photos are taken.
Picture the gold shovel for groundbreaking ceremonies on a table by the site entrance, waiting for the officials to pick it up. The bright gold plating catches the light in photos, which matters when the press and your investors are all pointing cameras at the same spot. Your copy goes on the shovel head or along the shaft, so the date and project name stay readable in the picture. Afterwards, the shovel becomes a shelf piece in the lobby or a thank you for the lead partner. For construction milestones, such as a topping out or a project handover, it works as a shovel award that the recipient will actually display.
For a western or ranch themed event, pair the shovel with the Personalized Cast Pewter Branding Iron, since both are metal keepsakes made to be kept on display. Handing an official the shovel and a second keepsake for the project partner turns one photo into a small set of gifts. At 6.5", it is small enough for a shelf or desk afterward. To see more ideas for the day, browse our Groundbreaking Ceremony collection.
Send us the wording you want on the shovel head or shaft and we will email a free virtual proof for sign-off. Ask for an exact quote with setup and shipping, and share your ceremony date.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a logo gold plated shovel used for?
A logo gold plated shovel is a small ceremonial tool given out to mark a milestone such as a new building project. It sits on a desk or shelf afterward as a keepsake that reminds guests of the day.
Which events suit a gold plated shovel giveaway?
A gold plated shovel suits groundbreaking ceremonies, construction kickoffs, new facility openings and company anniversaries. Contractors, developers and city officials also hand it out as a thank-you to partners and attendees.
How does a gold plated shovel compare with a standard construction themed giveaway?
A gold plated shovel looks like a trophy, while most construction giveaways such as pens or tape measures are everyday tools. Its bright finish and shovel shape make it more of a memento than a throwaway item.
Can a gold plated shovel be customized with my company name?
Yes, a gold plated shovel can carry your copy, printed on either the shovel head or the shaft. Because the shovel is decorated in one location, PPI will confirm which spot suits your wording and send a free digital proof before production.
What is the minimum order for a custom gold plated shovel?
The minimum order for a custom gold plated shovel is 50 shovels. Quantity breaks follow at 100, 250 and 500, which helps when a ceremony guest list is larger than expected.
What affects the price of a custom logo gold plated shovel?
The price of a custom gold plated shovel depends mainly on the quantity tier, the imprint location and how much copy is added. The listing shows setup included, so the quantity you order is the main thing that moves the total.
Is the shovel a real working tool or a display piece?
The gold plated shovel is a 6 1/2" model meant for display, not for digging. Keep it on a desk, a shelf or a ceremony table where the gold surface and printed copy can be seen.
How should I care for a gold plated shovel after the event?
Clean a gold plated shovel by wiping it gently with a soft dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners, since rubbing hard on the plated surface or the printed copy can wear it.
