Silver Wall Plaque with Swirl and Aluminum Plate

A silver wall plaque is a wall-mounted award built from a decorative backer board and a separate engraved metal plate. This one sits in the awards category under plaques, and it hangs on a wall rather than standing on a desk or shelf. The plate carries the engraved text, and the backer frames it and provides the mounting surface.

A silver wall plaque is manufactured to a fixed spec, so every unit in an order matches the next one. Art glass, marble and laser-cut lucite awards vary in size, color, pattern and surface texture, and those variations count as characteristics of the material rather than defects, so they are not refundable on that basis. Choose a plaque when you need identical units across a group of recipients.

One plaque packs into an 11 by 8 by 4 inch carton and weighs 1 pound. A five-unit carton measures 14 by 10 by 8 inches and weighs 5 pounds. Use the single-unit carton figures when you need to estimate freight to individual recipient addresses.

Yes, laser engraving is the only decoration method offered, and it marks the plate in one frosted tone. There are no ink colors to select and no color matching, so a logo, a name and a date all render in that same finish. Artwork with heavy color fills or fine tonal shading will not translate, so simple line art and clean type work best.

The minimum order is three units. Price breaks land at 3, 6 and 25 units, so a small recognition program of six costs less per plaque than an order of three. Orders above 25 units are quoted individually.

Per-unit pricing runs from $190.51 at three units to $165.66 at six units and $144.05 at 25 units. A one-time setup charge of $45 applies to the engraving, and that setup charge applies again on reorders. Quantity is the main driver of unit cost, since the engraving method and plate size do not change.

Delivery time is production plus transit, and production does not start until you approve the engraving proof. Orders leave a warehouse in Illinois, ZIP 60646, so transit length depends on how far the destination sits from Chicago. Returning the proof the same day is the fastest way to pull in the delivery date.

Wall plaques are ordered most often for donor recognition walls at nonprofits, building and room dedications, school and athletic program awards, safety milestone recognition in manufacturing plants, top producer awards in real estate and insurance, and community service honors from chambers of commerce. They suit any award that stays on display in a lobby, boardroom or hallway for years. Groups often order in sets of six or more so the wall display stays consistent as new names are added.

Wipe the plate with a soft, dry cloth and skip abrasive pads and solvent cleaners. The lettering is a frosted laser mark burned into the aluminum plate and it does not oxidize, so the text keeps its contrast without polishing. Abrasives can scratch the aluminum face and dull the silver swirl backer, which is the part that shows wear first.

No safety or environmental certifications are published for this plaque, so we do not claim FDA, Prop 65 or REACH documentation for it. The country of origin is China, and stock ships domestically from Illinois. The plaque is a display item made of plastic, aluminum and a laminated swirl backer, with no food contact use.
