Nothers the Award Store is your one-stop-shop for recognition awards, trophies, and personalized gifts. We specialize in customizing high-quality awards, plaques, trophies, and gifts for any occasion, from business and sports teams to academic achievements.

Our state-of-the-art engraving technology allows us to precisely customize a variety of materials including metal, glass, and acrylic. We also offer personalization for items such as pens, keychains, urns, and more.

Laser engraving uses a laser beam to etch designs, logos, or text onto the surface of items such as metal, wood, and glass. This method removes a thin layer of the material, creating a deep and permanent mark that is known for its high quality and durability, ideal for items like pens, keychains, and wine glasses.

UV printing is a digital printing process that uses ultraviolet light to dry and cure the ink as it hits the surface of a product. Commonly used on materials like metal, plastic, and acrylic, UV printing allows for vibrant, full-color output. This method produces high-quality images and designs that are resistant to fading, scratching, and wear, making it perfect for intricate patterns and photographs.

Etching involves using acid or a chemical solution to create designs or text on surfaces such as glass, crystal, and metal. The process starts by coating the surface with a protective layer, applying the acid through a template, and allowing it to eat away at exposed areas. Etching gives a subtle, elegant look, ideal for personalized gifts and commemorative items.

After etching, you can opt for color filling, which involves adding ink or paint to the etched lines. This enhances the visibility and decorative appeal of the etching, helping to highlight the details and create contrast for more striking and visually appealing results.

Traditional engraving uses a diamond-tipped tool to inscribe designs or text onto metal surfaces such as aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. This method creates deep, permanent marks with a fine, crisp line quality. Traditional diamond drag engraving is distinguished by its tactile feel, as the engraved areas have a slightly raised texture, making it excellent for detailed logos and text.

1. Size - A logo of exact size or larger than the required size will produce a sharper image. A logo that is smaller than the required size will lose detail and the edges will become ragged when enlarged. A specialty charge will apply.
2. Halftones cause problems in production. The recommended dot size for silk screening is 65 lines per inch. Halftones are only available in Sublimation and Silk Screening.
3. Scanning - If the logo needs to be scanned it is recommended that the design be 2 or 3 times larger than the required size. THIS IS NOT CAMERA READY; the logo will have to be re-drawn and the type reset. Type is NOT scanner-friendly.
4. Colour - Pantone numbers are required for colour selection.

Every order includes an art setup fee of $35.00 and two rounds of changes for art approval. Additional approvals are $5.00 each.
