Crystal Awards

When to Choose a Crystal Award

Crystal awards are a timeless way to celebrate achievement and recognize excellence. They’re most often chosen for:

• Employee of the Year awards – honoring standout performers

• Leadership recognition – celebrating executives and managers

• Retirement awards – sending a lasting tribute to dedicated careers

• Sales achievement trophies – rewarding top producers and teams

• Years of service plaques – commemorating milestones (5, 10, 15, 20+ years)

• Teamwork & inspiration awards – recognizing collaboration and motivation

These engraved corporate crystal awards provide elegance and weight that acrylic or glass can’t match, making them the ultimate choice for high-level recognition.

How Crystal Awards Are Made

At EDCO, every crystal award is manufactured to the highest standard:

• Precision waterjet cutting to achieve smooth edges and intricate shapes

• Expert faceting, beveling, and polishing to maximize brilliance

• Deep sandblast etching for a crisp, flawless engraving

• Optional paint-fill in engraving to highlight logos and corporate branding

• Premium K9 optical crystal ensures clarity, weight, and light refraction unmatched by glass or acrylic

Sandblasting vs. Laser Engraving

🔹 Deep Sandblasting (Preferred Method)

• Premium, deep etching with exceptional clarity

• Works on flat, curved, and faceted surfaces

• Holds tolerances down to 5-point font size

• Crisp, professional finish that looks elegant and refined

🔹 Laser Engraving

• Faster and lower cost

• Works best on flat surfaces only

• Creates sharp edges, micro-fractures, and less depth

• Engraving often appears less crisp or slightly out of focus

EDCO uses sandblasting for most crystal awards to ensure a deep, clean, high-resolution engraving that creates a “WOW” factor.
