Plaques

Custom plaques for schools and clubs come in clear acrylic, silver metal, warm timber and blue glass, with sizes from compact to larger.

• Acrylic Plaques: Thick clear acrylic with a bevelled edge, set with a brushed alloy plate or a satin or mirror silver panel down one side.
• Floating Panel Plaques: A clear acrylic face held just off a satin alloy backing by satin silver cap fixings, with a choice of background colours.
• Metal Plaques: Gloss silver under a protective acrylic overlay, or satin Metalex over mirror silver in a curved shape.
• Timber Plaques: Wood veneer surrounds with a shiny metal border, a foil face, a coloured side strip or a black Metalex plate.
• Glass Plaques: Silver with bevelled blue glass and a coloured backing, mounting on a wall or standing on a metal pin.

A plaque isn't a one-night prop that gets left on the table after dinner. For a netball club, it's the piece a life member hangs in her hallway, the one her grandkids point at when they visit. It's how the volunteer who lined the courts every Saturday for years gets thanked in a way that sticks. Clubs wanting something for the shelf too can look at glass trophies.

Most branded plaques can be printed in full colour, which suits school crests and club logos with lots of colour. The timber style with a black Metalex plate can be engraved, giving the lettering a gold finish.

Before You Order

Are custom plaques a good way for businesses to recognise staff milestones?
Yes, a business can present a timber or acrylic plaque at an end of year awards night to mark a staff milestone. The staff member then hangs it on the office wall, where it marks the achievement every time they sit down at their desk.

Which plaque is best for a school dux award?
A timber veneer plaque with a shiny metal border suits a dux award because it feels traditional and hangs easily at home. The student and family get a lasting keepsake from the final assembly that sits well beside an honour roll.

Do sporting clubs use these for life members?
Sporting clubs present plaques to life members at annual dinners and presentation nights. The silver and blue glass style works well here, since the member can hang it on a wall or stand it on its metal pin on a shelf.

Can a not-for-profit thank volunteers with plaques?
A not-for-profit can thank long-serving volunteers with a plaque at its annual general meeting or volunteer week event. A clear acrylic style with a floating panel gives the volunteer something modern to hang on a wall at home.
