Certificate plaques made from materials such as wood, acrylic, crystal, or stone are used to recognize achievements in business, sports, and social causes. They come in different styles and can include photos or engraved metal plaques. Marble or granite is used for memorial purposes.
Certificate plaques can be used to recognize a wide range of significant achievements in business, sports and social causes. Plaques are traditionally made from materials such as wood, acrylic, crystal or stone. The certificate portion of the plaque is affixed or enclosed via a variety of methods including plexiglass, etching, and embossing.
Recognition is one of the common reasons people receive a certificate plaque. In the business world, recognition for things like employee of the month, years of service, and promotions are just some of the reasons plaques are commonly given out. Sports teams can recognize a Most Valuable Player, championship wins, and position-specific awards such as best quarterback with a certificate. Other types of recognition plaques include those focused on thanking individuals and groups for their contributions or donations to social causes.
Certificate plaques come in many different styles. Some include an area for staff photos or employee photos, alongside an area for a certificate. Brass plaques honoring individual achievements can be affixed to a certificate plaque for office display. Instead of a traditional certificate, newspaper clippings or special publications can be used on certificate plaques.
One of the most common materials used for certificate plaques is wood. Various types of wood, including cherry, oak and maple, provide an excellent backdrop for custom certificates. Certificates can be adhered to the wood using adhesives or placed behind Plexiglas. The type of recognition, name and date can also be added to a wooden certificate award with the addition of an engraved metal plaque.
Acrylic material is often used in commercial settings when rewarding customers or commemorating special events. This material allows the placement of certificates and commemorative objects, such as coins, between the layers of material. In addition, certificates can be affixed externally using gold, brass, chrome, or silver grommets. This protects and preserves the certificate or award.
Crystal certificate plaques represent an alternative to the traditional wooden certificate plaque. Engraving is possible with crystal, adding a new dimension to the award. Crystal certificate plaques can be awarded for special occasions such as retirements and employees of the year. This distinguishes achievements above and beyond the usual awards.
Certificate plaques used for memorial purposes are usually constructed from marble or granite. These plaques can be laser engraved with detailed information including name and award type. Another option for marble and granite certificate plaques is to have a photograph or portrait laser etched into the surface.
