Screenprinted Aluminum Plaque on Rolled-Edge Walnut

A screenprinted aluminum plaque on walnut is a wall-mounted recognition award that carries a printed metal plate on a solid wood board. Organizations order it for employee service awards, donor and dedication boards, retirement gifts, and sponsor recognition. The print reproduces a logo as a solid ink mark, so the award carries brand identity rather than plain engraved text alone.

Screen printing lays a solid ink color on the aluminum plate, while engraving cuts into the surface and shows the metal's own tone. Printing holds filled logo shapes and bold solid marks that engraving can only render as etched lines. Engraving suits buyers who want a metal-on-metal look, and printing suits a logo that has to read as one strong color from across a room.

This plaque comes in 4 sizes: 7" x 9", 8" x 10", 9" x 12", and 10.5" x 13". The 7" x 9" and 8" x 10" boards suit one name and a short line of text. Choose the 9" x 12" or 10.5" x 13" board when the plate names a group or carries several lines of inscription.

Send clean single-color line art or a vector logo, because the plate prints one ink color in one location. A multi-color logo gets converted to a single solid tone, so pick the version of your mark that still reads without color separation. Gradients, drop shadows, and photographs do not reproduce in a one-color screen print.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when the order is placed, so same-day proof approval is the fastest way to protect a ceremony date. Transit time to your address is added on top of the 5 production days.

Buyers order these plaques for years-of-service awards, retirement presentations, donor and building dedications, sponsor recognition at charity events, sales achievement awards, and school or club honors. Corporate HR teams, nonprofits, sports leagues, and trade associations order them most often. The wall-mount format fits recognition meant to stay on display in a lobby or office rather than sit on a desk.

Wipe the walnut board and the aluminum plate with a soft dry cloth, and use a barely damp cloth only for stubborn marks. Keep solvents, alcohol wipes, and abrasive cleaners away from the plate, because they lift screen-printed ink. Hang the plaque indoors, out of direct sunlight and off damp walls, since sun fades ink and humidity swells wood.

Per-unit pricing is quoted by size and order quantity, so request a quote for the exact size and count you need. Pricing moves on the size you pick, the number of plaques ordered, the one-time screen setup for your artwork, and any rush handling. Larger orders lower the per-unit cost, and a repeat order that reuses the same artwork avoids a second setup.
