Team Sponsor Photo Plaque with Slide-In Photo Window

A team sponsor photo plaque is a wood award that pairs a team photograph with an engraved plate naming the business that funded the team. Sports leagues, schools, and clubs give them to sponsors to display at the sponsor's place of business, where the photo keeps the sponsorship visible to customers all season. The award recognizes the sponsor and shows the community exactly which team the money supported.

A photo plaque shows an actual image next to the engraved text, while a standard engraved plaque carries text alone. That difference matters for sponsor recognition, because the sponsor sees the players they paid for instead of a name and a date. An engraving-only plaque still suits an individual award where no group photo exists.

The Team Sponsor Photo Plaque is made of wood in a piano finish, and walnut is the only color offered. Piano finish means a high-gloss lacquered surface, so the panel reflects light and shows fingerprints more than a matte board does. The recognition plate is black brass, which gives light lettering against a dark background.

Yes. Laser engraving is the decoration method, and it cuts the artwork into the black brass plate rather than printing on top, so the lettering will not rub off. Send line art or a vector logo for the sharpest result, because photographs and fine gradients do not translate into single-tone engraving. Team name, sponsor name, season, and a short thank-you line all fit on the plate.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval, not from the date you place the order. Transit time is added on top of that, so build in extra days when the plaques are needed for a banquet date. Approving the engraving proof the same day it arrives is the fastest way to protect a tight deadline.

Groups hand out sponsor plaques at end-of-season banquets, youth league award nights, booster club dinners, chamber of commerce meetings, school athletic fundraisers, and opening-day ceremonies. Any organization that sells sponsorships for uniforms, field signage, or travel costs uses them to thank the businesses that paid. Companies also use them to recognize a partner and show the team the partnership funded.

We quote the team sponsor photo plaque per unit, and the unit price falls as the order quantity rises, so a league ordering one plaque per sponsor pays less each than someone ordering a single award. Three factors move the price: order quantity, the amount of engraving copy on each plate, and whether every plaque carries different text or one repeated layout. We quote shipping separately, since the panel travels in a protective box.

Wipe the piano finish with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and nothing stronger. Ammonia glass cleaners and solvent sprays can cloud the lacquer and dull the black brass plate, so keep them off the panel. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and damp walls, because both lift a lacquered wood finish over time.

Yes. We engrave each black brass plate individually, so a single order can carry a different sponsor name on every plaque. Send the full name list with your artwork and check every spelling before you approve the proof, because laser engraving cuts into the metal and cannot be reversed.
