Montague/Everett Plaque - Rosewood/Gold

A rosewood plaque with a piano finish is a wood award board sealed under a high gloss lacquer coat and marked with laser engraving. The gloss coat gives the board a mirror-like sheen that shows the engraved copy in clear contrast against the darker wood. Buyers order this style of plaque for staff recognition programs and for presentation at annual awards events.

A rosewood plaque gives an opaque wood surface that reads clearly under normal room light, while acrylic and crystal awards depend on backlighting or a spotlight to show their detail. Wood plaques mount flat on a wall, so a department can build a running honor board over several years. Acrylic and crystal pieces usually sit on a desk or shelf and take up counter space.

The Montague/Everett Plaque is offered in gold and rosewood, with the gold engraving plate set against the deep rosewood board. The two-tone pairing keeps engraved names legible from a few feet away in a hallway or lobby display. The shield outline is one of several board styles available in this line.

Yes, laser engraving is the decoration method for this plaque, and it marks logos, names, titles, dates and multi-line text. Laser engraving cuts the mark into the plate surface rather than printing it, so there is no ink or color fill to chip later. Send your logo art and engraving copy first, because production only starts once you approve the artwork.

Production takes 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you sign off on the proof, not when you place the order, so send your engraving copy the same day you order. Shipping transit time is separate from the 5 production days, so allow extra days for delivery when you have a fixed event date.

Shield plaques are ordered most often for employee of the year awards, retirement and years of service recognition, sales achievement presentations, sports banquets, donor and board member appreciation, and academic honor programs. Schools and civic groups also use them for perpetual honor boards, where a new name is added each year. The wall-mount format suits any group that wants a permanent record on display.

Wipe an engraved rosewood plaque with a dry, soft cloth or a microfiber cloth to lift dust from the gloss surface. Skip ammonia-based glass cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads, since they can dull or cloud the lacquer coat. Hang or store the plaque away from direct sunlight and damp rooms to keep the wood and the gloss layer stable.

Per-unit pricing for this rosewood plaque is quoted per order rather than published, because several factors move the price. Order quantity is the largest one, and the per-unit cost drops as the count rises, so a single plaque costs more each than a batch for a full awards night. The amount of engraving copy, whether each piece carries different names, the board style you choose, and shipping method also affect the final quote.
