Personalised Acrylic Award Plaque | Employee Recognition Trophy UK

Celebrate achievement with a plaque that actually looks the part. Our personalised acrylic awards are crafted from crystal-clear, premium acrylic and finished with vivid UV printing, giving you the polished, professional look of glass at a fraction of the cost. Whether it's for employee recognition, a sports club, a school prize-giving, or a one-off celebration, this is one of our most popular acrylic plaques and awards for a reason: it's fast, fully customisable, and built to be kept.

Key Features and Specs

• Premium crystal-clear acrylic, 20mm thick
• Full-colour UV print only — no engraving
• Two size options: 10.4 × 14.8 × 2cm and 14.8 × 21 × 2cm
• Sixteen professional design choices
• Flat-edge base for a steady stand
• Smooth and long-lasting finish
• Works well as acrylic trophy awards for staff and events

Best For

This plaque is best suited to:

• Employee recognition: Employee of the Month, long-service awards, retirement gifts
• Sports clubs and teams: a durable acrylic alternative to traditional metal cups
• Schools and academies: end-of-year prizes, subject awards, sports day trophies
• Corporate events: conference awards, sales achievements, partner recognition
• One-off personal gifts: anniversaries, graduations, retirements

If you need something engraved in glass or metal instead, this isn't that. But if you want a modern, lightweight, full-colour award that still feels substantial, this is exactly the right product.

Why It Stands Out

Most acrylic awards and trophies on the market use thin acrylic and basic engraving that looks flat under office lighting. Ours doesn't. The 20mm thickness gives it real weight and presence on a desk or shelf, while UV printing means we can add full colour — logos, crests, gradients, photos — not just etched text.

It's also genuinely fast. Because everything is printed rather than hand-engraved, we can turn around custom acrylic awards quickly without compromising on finish. That makes it ideal for HR teams and event organisers working to a deadline, not just those planning months in advance.

Doing a full awards night?

If you need a complete set of awards for a club presentation, our Ready-Made Packs bundle seven personalised trophies together and work out cheaper than ordering each award separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I add my company or club logo?

Yes. Upload your logo during personalisation and we'll print it in full colour alongside your text — no extra charge.

Q2: Is acrylic durable enough for everyday handling?

Yes. At 20mm thick with a UV-printed finish, these plaques are scratch-resistant and hold up well to regular handling, shipping, and years of display.

Q3: What's the difference between this and a glass award?

Acrylic is lighter, more impact-resistant, and allows full-colour printing rather than etching — a better fit for logos, gradients, and multi-colour designs. Glass typically costs more and is heavier to ship.

Q4: Can I order just one, or is there a minimum quantity?

No minimum order. Whether you need one retirement gift or fifty for a company-wide awards night, pricing and turnaround stay the same per unit.

Q5: Can I see a proof before printing?

Digital proofs are available on request — just ask when you place your order. Otherwise we print from the details you enter at checkout, so please review names, dates and spelling carefully before completing your order.

Q6: How long does delivery take?

Every award is personalised and made to order in the UK. Please check the processing time and choose a delivery option at checkout that comfortably covers your event date.

Q7: Can I return or exchange a personalised item?

Because each plaque is custom-made, we can only accept returns for faulty items or printing errors caused by us. Please double-check names, dates, and spelling before ordering.

Please Check Before You Order

Personalised items are made specifically for you, so please double-check names, job titles, dates, and spelling before completing your order. We print exactly what's confirmed at checkout, so a final check on your end helps us get it right first time.
