Wedge Award — Small & Medium

A crystal wedge award is a solid crystal block cut at a slant that stands upright on its own flat base. The angled face tilts the etched or printed artwork toward the viewer, so no separate stand or mounting base is required. The shape reads as a formal recognition piece rather than a novelty giveaway.

Crystal is denser and optically clearer than acrylic, so a crystal award carries noticeable weight in hand and a glass-like sparkle at presentation. Acrylic costs less and resists breakage, which suits high-volume programs or awards shipped directly to recipients. Crystal also supports sandblasted etching, which cuts the artwork into the surface instead of printing it on top.

The Small Wedge Award suits formal ceremonies such as retirements, board member tributes, donor galas, and safety milestone dinners. Organizations also present it at graduation honors, volunteer-of-the-year events, and annual banquets where each recipient is named on stage. The compact footprint keeps a full head-table lineup manageable when a ceremony honors many people at once.

The Small Wedge Award costs between $105.05 and $159.77 per unit, depending on order quantity. Pricing runs $159.77 each at 3 pieces, $138.93 at 6, $120.81 at 25, and $105.05 at 50. Order quantity, the imprint method you choose, and a one-time setup charge determine the final cost per award.

Yes, a setup charge applies to every order: $45 for sandblasting or $50 for 4-color process digital printing. Setup charges also apply to reorders, so budget the fee again even when you rerun a previously approved design. The charge covers one imprint location with either method.

The Small Wedge Award is manufactured in China and ships to customers from Illinois. Freight is calculated from the Illinois origin point and billed in addition to the product and setup charges, so destinations in the central United States see the shortest transit.

Clean a crystal award with a soft lint-free cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap, then dry it immediately to prevent water spots. A sandblasted logo is etched into the crystal surface and will not wash or wear off with normal cleaning. For a digitally printed full-color logo, wipe gently around the printed area and avoid abrasive pads and solvent-based glass cleaners.
