Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish

A custom star plaque is a mounted award panel with a raised star ornament and an engravable metal plate that names one recipient and the reason for the award. The Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish pairs a rosewood panel with a cast metal star, so it works as a permanent desk or wall award rather than a handout item. Recognition programs use it when the award needs to stay on display for years.

The Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish combines three materials, a wood panel, a cast metal star and a brass plate, while crystal and acrylic awards are one molded or cut piece. Engraving on the plaque sits on a solid brass background, so text stays readable from any angle instead of refracting through clear material. Crystal transmits light and suits a lit display case; the piano finish reflects room light directly and hides handling marks better than polished glass.

The Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish is made from rosewood and cast metal, with a rosewood panel under the piano finish coat, a cast metal star ornament and a solid brass engraving plate. Rosewood is a dense hardwood, so the panel holds its shape in a heated office without warping. Cast metal gives the star enough weight to sit flush against the panel and resist bending in transit.

Yes. Laser engraving is the only decoration method on this plaque, and it marks the solid brass plate rather than the wood panel. A logo, recipient name, award title and date all fit within the plate, and the mark reads in a single tone because the laser cuts the plate surface instead of adding ink. Send artwork as vector line art so thin logo strokes and small text stay sharp at plate size.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval, not from the date the order is placed. Shipping transit is added on top of that, so ask for a delivery date if your ceremony falls inside two weeks. Approving the engraving proof quickly is what protects the date, because the 5-day clock only starts at sign-off.

Buyers order star plaques most often for sales achievement awards, safety milestones, years-of-service recognition, retirement presentations, volunteer and donor appreciation, and school or athletic banquets. Any program that honors one person per award fits, since the brass plate carries a single name and date. Groups running an annual award reorder the same plaque each year so every winner's piece matches on a display wall.

Dust the high-gloss piano finish with a dry, soft cloth and skip household cleaning sprays. Ammonia and alcohol cleaners dull the gloss coat and leave streaks on the chrome or gold star ornament. Wipe fingerprints off the brass plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it right away, since standing moisture works under the plate edge over time. Keep the plaque out of direct sunlight, which fades wood tone unevenly.

Per-unit pricing on the Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish is quoted per order, because no fixed price applies across every quantity and engraving setup. Quantity moves the number most: the same plaque costs less per piece across a 25-unit award program than on a single presentation piece, since engraving setup spreads over the run. Rush handling and inbound freight also affect the final figure. Send your quantity and engraving copy with a quote request for an exact per-unit price.

No safety or environmental certifications are published for this plaque, and none apply to how it is used. The Custom Star Plaque with High-Gloss Finish is a display award with no food contact, no electronics and no small detachable parts, so ratings such as FDA food-grade or CPSIA child-product testing are not relevant.
