Customization Options, Accessories & Services

Elevate the impact of your awards by exploring these additional features, designed to elevate your  awards and recognition program to the next level!

Enhance your awards to make them  Exceptional and Unforgettable!

Each award in our house collection comes with professional custom designs and personalized markings, ensuring they are truly unique and special. However, if you're seeking something extra or a bit different, we also provide additional services and products to elevate your awards and recognition programs. 

Explore the list below for additional options and services to further customize, personalize, and enhance your awards!

Add 2nd, 3rd and 4th Surface Markings

All of our awards and trophies include custom marking on at least one surface. However some pieces have additional surfaces that can also be customized upon request. Multi-surface markings can look fantastic and take an award from excellent to exceptional! If you’d like to customize some additional surfaces on your awards, select the “add 2nd surface marking” option during the checkout process or let us know via email and it will be worked into your design and artwork proof.

Cost: $50 per additional surface marking

Hand-painted Color Fills

Sandblast engraving looks most elegant when it’s simply clear and frosted, however color fill accents can be useful to highlight specific text or artwork. Our color fills are hand-painted on engraved areas and can really help make awards stand out!

Choose from 4 non-toxic colour fill options: silver, black, gold, and a brilliant 24K gold. Any of these options can be selected during the checkout process (if available on the pieces you’re ordering), and during the design process we will work with you to determine the exact placements of the colour fills.

Cost: $50 per piece for silver, black or gold; $70 per piece for 24K gold

Logo Vectorizations

To create great custom artwork for your awards, we need your logo file(s) in high resolution vector format like .eps, .ai or .svg (see our graphic requirements for more details). Bitmap files like .jpg .tiff and .bmp (also called “raster”) are more commonly available and may look good on your screen, but they cannot be used for our design and production processes because they are low resolution and pixelated.

Can’t find your logo in vector format? We include logo vectorizations with every order, and we can provide you with your vectorized logo file upon request.

If you need additional logos vectorized, we can digitally convert any common bitmap file to a proper vector file for you in 24 hours!

Drop shipping to multiple addresses

Drop shipping involves splitting your order and shipping it to multiple locations. Many clients use this service when forgoing an in-person event, and want to send awards directly to people working at home, in other cities, or in remote locations.

If you require drop shipping you can select this option during checkout or let your customer service representative know.

Recognition / Certification Program Management

Are you spending more than 10 hours a month overseeing your recognition or certification program? Are you bogged down by managing multiple suppliers, lead times and logistics? If so, a Managed Recognition Program powered by Eclipse Awards can help free up your time and allow you to focus on things that you do best.

Studio Photography For Awards & Trophies

Award photos can be really useful for marketing, social media, company newsletters, encouraging nominations, documenting events, and raising the stature of your awards program. However it’s not always easy to get great photos of your awards, so we offer a few services to assist you:

Studio Photos

Studio photos are helpful if you want high resolution photos of your awards for marketing or presentation purposes. To order this service, notify your service representative, or select the "Studio Photo of Completed Item" option during the online checkout process. Note that to request a studio photo, you must also order an actual trophy or award.

Studio award photos are available with either Black or Blue backgrounds, and are delivered digitally in .jpg format at 1200 x 1200 pixels, 300 ppi resolution.

Cost: $150 per award photographed, after the award has been produced.

Virtual Award Photos

Virtual award photos are computer generated images of awards that do not yet exist.

For some marketing and promotions, it can be helpful to have images of your awards before they are actually produced. In other cases you might completely forego making actual awards and only use virtual award images. In some ways, virtual award images are the most eco-friendly award option available.

Virtual award photos include the creation of original artwork (if needed), artwork proof for review and approval, and unlimited design revisions at no charge. If you are also ordering physical awards, we can of course use the same artwork to virtually recreate those awards.

Virtual award photos are available with either Black or Blue backgrounds, and are delivered digitally in .jpg format at 1200 x 1200 pixels, 300 ppi resolution.

Cost: 1-5 photos: $100 each; 6-24 photos: $80 each; 25+ photos: $60 each.

Recycling ​Awards & Trophies

Want to recycle some old trophies or awards that you have? It can be difficult to recycle old trophies due to the mixed media and age of the materials. So we suggest removing the nameplates if possible, then donating them to a thrift store in your area. That is where they are most likely to get repurposed and find a second life as trophies for a novelty or one-time event.

If you have glass or recycled glass awards from Eclipse Awards, you can try your local recycling depot or send them back to us for recycling.

Cost: free

Mounting Hardware Options

Double-Sided Mounting Tape

For easy DIY installation, we offer two types of industrial strength, double-sided tape for mounting in situations where typical fasteners won't work. Thin Tape is suitable for smooth surfaces, while Thick Tape is intended for rough or uneven surfaces. Let us know the surface you're mounting on and we can recommend the appropriate double-sided tape.

Aluminum Standoff Hardware

We offer 3 styles of aluminum edge grip standoff hardware that can be used to secure panels of glass or wood in place on a wall. Edge grip hardware is handy because it simplifies installation and doesn’t require holes in the mounted material, which keeps costs down.

Single and Double Pair Mounting Magnets

Our single and double pair magnets are compact yet powerful. They consist of two sets of magnets which can be joined or separated as needed. Double pair magnets are primarily used as backings on name tags, though they can also be an effective mounting solution when you want something to be secured, yet removable.

Cost: $2 per set of magnets

Command Strips

Command Strips make surface mounting quick and easy. They are perfect when you need the ability to remove your plaque or sign. One click lets you know the strips are locked in and holding tight. When no longer needed, they can be easily removed without damaging your wall. Each strip is 1.5 cm wide x 3.5 cm tall and can hold up to 2 lbs.(.9 kgs).
