Not all trophies glitter or are made of gold. Most trophies are actually made of different materials to give a shiny or hard texture to them. To do so, there are a variety of materials with which you can carve a trophy, and below are some of the widely used materials.
Crystal
Crystal and glass materials are the popular material in the market to print trophies. Its crystal view gives alluring clarity and makes a great impression on the receiver. Crystal material is perfect for 3-D etching and pieces in standard shape.
Acrylic
Acrylic comes with the same clarity as glass or crystal but is less brittle. In fact, acrylic is half the weight of glass and 7 times stronger than glass. Acrylic material offers versatility and can be forged into a range of shapes and sizes.
Metal
Metals are the strong and durable material for trophies to achieve the desired look. Through metal, the awards can be thick or thin, created in different shapes, and can have a shiny surface. In fact, high-profile awards are also metallic including Oscars and Grammys.
Unlike aluminum or steel, metal awards offer a high range of flexibility in designs to make them elegant.
Stone
Stone is admirable when giving the award as a gift. Whether the stone is the base or the entire piece, it will never fail to impress with its modern look. Granite is a durable material that adds weight to the trophy.
Wood
Wood is a fibrous substrate that can be used for custom-shaped awards. Wood is a 100% natural material that allows a good finish for the surfaces and colors.
