Optical Crystal Rectangle Award with an Inward-Curved Face

The optical crystal rectangle award is classified under the Rectangle Awards and Desk Awards categories in addition to the general Crystal Awards group. This means it is designed with desktop display in mind rather than a larger standing trophy. The Rectangle Awards classification also groups it with other block-style crystal pieces for easy comparison while shopping.

The optical crystal rectangle award has a Deep Etch panel that grows with each size, running 2 by 2.5 inches on the smallest 2.5 by 3 by 0.75 inch piece up to 5.25 by 6 inches on the largest 6.5 by 7 by 1.5 inch piece. The middle sizes carry their own panels too, measuring 3 by 3.375 inches on the 3.5 by 4 inch award and 3.75 by 4 inches on the 4.5 by 5 inch award. This means the etched area always fills most of the back face regardless of which size is chosen.

The optical crystal rectangle award pairs each size with a VividPrint area that matches its full outer face, running 2.5 by 3 inches on the smallest piece up to 6.5 by 7 inches on the largest piece. Deep Etch panels sit slightly smaller within that same face, for example 2 by 2.5 inches on the smallest size compared to the full 2.5 by 3 inch VividPrint area on that piece. This gives VividPrint more coverage for a full color design while Deep Etch leaves a narrow crystal border around the etched image.

The optical crystal rectangle award ships in a Carrington Box that scales with each size, weighing 2.74 pounds per carton for the largest 6.5 by 7 by 1.5 inch version compared to just 0.24 pounds for the smallest 2.5 by 3 by 0.75 inch version. The middle sizes fall between these figures as the box grows to match the crystal block inside. Each size still ships one unit per carton regardless of weight.

The optical crystal rectangle award offers five separate sizes, each with its own product code and its own minimum order of one piece, so a purchase can combine a small size for one honoree with a larger size for another. Mixing sizes on one order does not require meeting a combined minimum across variants since each size already qualifies at a single unit. This flexibility suits a program recognizing several achievement levels in one ceremony.

Price for the optical crystal rectangle award depends mainly on the size selected, since the block grows from 2.5 by 3 inches up to 6.5 by 7 inches across the range. The decoration method chosen between Deep Etch and VividPrint also affects cost, along with the amount of artwork or color used within the imprint panel. Order quantity plays a role as well, since larger runs typically lower the per-piece cost.

The optical crystal rectangle award should be wiped with a soft, dry or lightly dampened lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and dust from the curved face. Ammonia-based glass cleaners should be avoided because they can leave streaks on polished crystal over time. Keeping the piece on a stable shelf away from table edges helps prevent chips along the curved edge.

No, rush production is not listed as an option for the optical crystal rectangle award in the product record. All five sizes ship on the same 5-day schedule counted from artwork approval, with no faster path documented for any size. Buyers working against a tight event date should plan for that full window before shipping transit begins.
