Description
The crystal apple paperweight is molded in solid optical crystal with a short stem and no attached leaf to snap off in a gift box. Schools, districts and training teams hand it to teachers and mentors, where it holds papers down and keeps a name in view on a desk long after the ceremony.
At an end-of-year staff breakfast, give the 3.5 inch size to a teacher of the year and the 2.375 inch size to every member of the department, so one program covers the whole room. Deep etching cuts your school seal into the front of the crystal, so it reads white against the clear body and stays readable years after a printed sticker would have peeled. Districts also use it for retirement gifts, PTA volunteer thank-yous and donor recognition at a foundation dinner. Two pieces travel in a single carton, which keeps a large order easy to sort by school before you hand it out. The molded shape is heavy enough to hold a stack of test papers on a windy classroom desk without sliding.
Pair it with the red and green Beaufort apple award when a district wants color on the head table and clear crystal on every other desk, since the two share the same apple silhouette. Browsing the wider education gift range makes sense when one purchase order has to cover an entire building and the recipients range from a first-year aide to a retiring principal. Both work on the same awards table without clashing.
Upload your logo and a free virtual proof arrives before you pay anything. Production takes 5 working days once you approve that proof, and the order can be as small as one piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crystal apple paperweight and who is it given to?
A crystal apple paperweight is a solid molded optical crystal apple that sits on a desk and holds papers in place. Schools, districts and training organizations give it to teachers, principals, mentors and volunteers. The apple shape signals education without any wording on the piece.
What sizes does the crystal apple paperweight come in?
The crystal apple paperweight comes in three sizes: 2.375 in, 3 in and 3.5 in. Many buyers order the largest for a single top honoree and the smallest for a full staff. All three carry the same molded stem shape.
Can a school logo be etched on a crystal apple paperweight?
A school logo, seal or crest can be deep etched on the front of the crystal apple paperweight. The etched area runs up to 1.75 in by 0.75 in on the largest size and 1 in by 0.75 in on the smallest. Etching covers one side and one location per piece.
Does the apple have a leaf, or only a stem?
The molded crystal apple paperweight has a short stem and no separate leaf. That keeps the shape solid, with nothing thin enough to snap off in shipping or in a desk drawer. It also leaves the front face clear and uninterrupted for the etch.
How long does production take after artwork approval?
Production on the crystal apple paperweight takes 5 working days from artwork approval. Transit time is added after that. Two pieces pack per carton, which is worth knowing when you plan delivery to several school buildings.
Which school-year occasions suit a crystal apple award?
Crystal apple paperweights fit teacher appreciation week, end-of-year staff recognition, retirements, PTA volunteer thank-yous and school board recognition. Corporate training teams also use them for instructor awards. The same shape covers all of these with only the etched text changing.
How should the crystal be cleaned without dulling the etched area?
Wipe the crystal apple paperweight with a soft cloth and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid abrasive scrubs and ammonia based cleaners, which cloud polished optical crystal. The etched area keeps its frosted white look as long as nothing scratches the surface.
What affects the price of a custom apple paperweight?
Price on a custom apple paperweight depends on the size, the order quantity and the artwork setup for etching. Larger sizes cost more per piece than the 2.375 in size. Ordering more pieces at once lowers the cost per piece.
