Screenprinted Aluminum Plaque on Cove-Edge Walnut

A cove edge is a concave curve routed around the border of the wood panel, forming a recessed frame around the mounted plate. The curve catches light along the perimeter and lifts the plate visually off the wall behind it. Every panel in this walnut line uses the same cove profile, so mixed sizes still match inside one award set.

A screenprinted aluminum plaque carries ink printed onto the face of the plate, while an engraved plaque cuts the artwork into the metal surface. Screen printing lays down solid shapes and filled areas cleanly, so logos with heavy coverage reproduce well. Artwork built from several colors must convert to a single ink before it goes to press.

We need single-color artwork, supplied as vector line art or a clean high-resolution logo file. Screen printing lays flat, solid ink, so gradients, drop shadows, and photographs do not reproduce in a one-color run. We return a proof for your sign-off before anything prints, and we can convert most logo files to press-ready art.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts the moment you approve the proof, so a slow sign-off pushes the ship date out by the same number of days. Transit time is added on top of those 5 days, so place awards orders about 2 weeks before the ceremony date.

Walnut award plaques are ordered most often for employee service anniversaries, sales achievement awards, retirement recognition, donor and sponsor thank-yous, sports banquets, and safety milestone programs. Buyers use the larger panels for top-tier honors and the smaller panels for team-level awards, which keeps a tiered program visually consistent. Wall mounting also suits permanent recognition displays in lobbies, boardrooms, and clubhouses.

Pricing is quoted per unit and moves with three factors: the panel size you pick, the quantity you order, and the one-time art setup for the screen print. Larger panels carry a larger aluminum plate, so they price higher per piece than the smallest size. Quantity is the strongest lever, because per-unit cost falls as the run grows. Send your size and quantity to get exact per-unit pricing.

Wipe the plaque with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol, and abrasive cleaners, because they can lift screen-printed ink off the plate and dull the piano finish. For fingerprints on the wood, use a barely damp cloth and dry the surface right away. Keep the plaque out of direct sunlight and away from humid rooms, since wood reacts to moisture.

No safety certification applies to this plaque, and none is required for its use. The piece is a wall-display award built from wood and aluminum, with no food contact, no electrical parts, and no batteries. If your procurement team needs material or country-of-origin documentation for its files, ask for it when you request a quote.
