Medium Glass Award

A jade glass award carries its green color in the material itself, while an optical crystal award is colorless and machine-cut for piece-to-piece uniformity. Handmade art glass gives each piece an organic, one-of-a-kind look that crystal does not. Choose colored glass when you want the award to stand apart visually, and crystal when strict uniformity across a large batch matters most.

Choose sandblasting for a frosted, etched look in a single tone, and 4-color process digital printing when your logo needs exact brand colors or gradients. Either method is already included in the base price for one location, so the choice does not change the cost. Sandblasted artwork is cut into the glass surface itself, while digital printing reproduces photographic detail on top of it.

The minimum order quantity is 3 pieces. Price breaks apply at 6, 25, and 50 pieces, so the per-unit cost drops at each step. There is no published upper limit, and larger ceremony runs are quoted on request.

Per-unit retail pricing runs from $229.74 at 3 pieces down to $151.05 at 50 pieces, with tiers of $199.77 at 6 pieces and $173.71 at 25 pieces. The price includes sandblasting or a full color imprint in one location, so order quantity is the main cost driver. Requesting assembled awards on the purchase order and freight from the Illinois shipping point also affect the final total.

Glass awards are presented most often at retirement ceremonies, annual banquets, donor and sponsor recognition dinners, graduation honors, volunteer appreciation events, and safety milestone programs. The jade green tint helps a single award stand apart when an organization presents several award styles in one program. Its desk-display format also suits quarterly or annual recurring award series.

Clean the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a small amount of water or standard glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents, which can scratch the polished surface or wear printed artwork over time. Sandblasted etching is recessed into the glass, so routine dusting and wiping will not remove it. Store the award away from contact with hard objects to prevent edge chips.

No formal safety or environmental certifications are published for this decorative glass award. The piece is made in China and is intended for display only, so food-contact and drinkware standards do not apply. Buyers should also note the return policy: characteristic variations in handmade glass, including small air bubbles, do not qualify for replacement or refund.
