Custom Onyx Medium Plaque Award

The Custom Onyx Medium Plaque Award is a wall-mounted or desk recognition plaque that carries an engraved or printed presentation plate. Companies order it for employee milestones, sales achievements, and donor recognition. The plate holds a recipient name, a date, and a short citation line under a company logo.

No, the onyx plaque award is black wood finished in high-gloss piano lacquer, and "Onyx" names the color rather than a stone. A wood body ships for less than a stone award of the same size and resists chipping if the plaque tips over. The finish shows fingerprints, so handle it by the edges during presentation setup.

Laser engraving etches text and logos into the plate in a single tone, while 4 color process prints the artwork in full color. Both methods cost the same per unit on this plaque and both run 5 to 7 business days. Pick laser for a formal monochrome look, and pick 4 color process when your logo depends on exact brand colors.

Yes, the vertical plate accepts artwork up to 5.75 inches wide by 7.75 inches high, and the horizontal layout ships as the standard orientation. Artwork can run full color, single tone, or a custom color match. We send an online PDF proof at no charge; logo resizing costs $20 and further art work runs $10 per 15 minutes.

Pricing starts at 1 plaque, so there is no large minimum to clear before you can order. Volume breaks land at 6, 10, and 25 units, and a $40 less-than-minimum charge can apply to very short runs. Exact-quantity orders carry no fee, and a repeat order of identical artwork drops the setup charge to $25.

Decorated plaques take 5 to 7 business days to produce after you approve the art, and blank plaques take 1 to 3 business days. Add transit time on top of that window when you plan around a banquet date. Approving the free PDF proof the same day it arrives keeps the schedule intact.

Custom plaque awards go out most often for years-of-service recognition, sales club banquets, retirement send-offs, safety milestone programs, and donor or sponsor thank-yous. Schools use them for academic honor nights and coach appreciation. Sports leagues and volunteer groups order them for season-end and board recognition.

The Custom Onyx Medium Plaque Award costs $104.87 each at 1 unit and drops to $75.59 each at 25 units, with tiers at 6 units ($95.43) and 10 units ($84.93). A one-time $50 setup charge applies to the first order in each decoration method. Quantity drives most of the price, and individual name personalization adds $7 per piece.

Plaques pack 20 per carton in a box measuring 24 by 17 by 19 inches. Split shipments and drop shipments each add $8.50, so you can send awards straight to remote recipients. Shipping on a third-party account or to an international address carries no extra handling fee.

Wipe the piano finish with a dry microfiber cloth to lift dust, then use a barely damp cloth on fingerprints. Avoid ammonia, alcohol, and abrasive sprays, because they dull lacquer over time. Keep the plaque out of direct sunlight and away from heat vents so the wood does not warp.
