A personalised award plaque that reads like a certificate
Paper certificates curl, fade and get lost. This acrylic certificate plaque keeps everything that makes a certificate feel formal: a classic printed border, a crest at the top and a proper citation, on a solid 2cm block of clear acrylic that stands on its own. There's room for the award title, the recipient's name, a reason line explaining why they earned it, and the date or the name of your school or organisation.
Choose from five border colourways and eight sizes, from a small A7 class prize to a full A4 certificate of achievement plaque. It's one of three designs in our range. For workplace recognition, see the Colour Block Design staff award, and for presentation nights, see the Prism Design achievement award.

Why it works
-
A citation layout with a dedicated reason line, so the wording reads properly rather than being squeezed under a name.
-
Space for your school crest, company logo or an icon from our range.
-
Solid 2cm clear acrylic with polished edges that stands on its own, so no frame or stand is needed.
-
Full colour UV print over a white ink base, so crests and borders stay crisp.
-
Eight sizes from £7.99, so you can order a whole year group or a single formal award.
-
Designed, printed and dispatched in the UK by our small family team in Essex.

Questions
Q: Can I add our school crest or logo?
Ans: Yes. Upload your crest or logo in PNG or JPEG format when you personalise your plaque, and it will be printed in full colour at the top of the certificate.
Q: Is this award plaque engraved?
Ans: No. It's UV printed in full colour directly onto the acrylic, over a white ink base. Engraving gives a single frosted outline, whereas printing shows your logo, crest and colours exactly as they are, so it's a brighter alternative to an engraved trophy.
Q: How much wording can I include?
Ans: The layout has space for an award title, the recipient's name, a reason line and a date or organisation name. We size your wording to fill the plaque, so larger sizes suit longer citations.
Q: What is a reason line?
Ans: It's the line that explains why the recipient earned the award, for example "For outstanding commitment to the school choir" or "In recognition of twelve years of service as a trustee".
Q: Does it need a stand or frame?
Ans: No. The plaque is solid 2cm acrylic with a flat base, so it stands on its own on a desk, shelf or windowsill.
Q: Can I order plaques with different names for our leavers?
Ans: Yes. Add each plaque to your basket with its own personalisation, or message us with your list and we'll help.
Q: Can I mix sizes in one order?
Ans: Yes. Message us, and we'll arrange it.
