The EcoScore is our own assessment of the material’s environmental footprint, on a scale of 1 to 5. It says nothing about the quality, and the material must be recycled under the right conditions.
Frequently asked questions about printed trophies
What exactly is it printed on?
On plexiglass, directly onto the material itself. Other flat surfaces are also suitable, such as acrylic, glass, wood and metal. The image is therefore part of the trophy itself, rather than on a separate plate that is glued onto it later.
Can the trophy be used outdoors?
Plexi is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. An open-air presentation or a prize that remains on site afterwards is therefore no problem.
What thicknesses are available?
2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 mm. A thin plate is sufficient for a plaque to be mounted on a wall. If the trophy is to stand upright on a table or in a cupboard, it is best to choose a heavier one.
Can any shape be printed on?
No. The surface must be flat, as the print head glides smoothly over it. We are therefore unable to print on a traditional rounded mug or a twisted goblet, but we can print on a flat shape.
How big can a trophy be?
The sheets used for this work measure up to 2050 x 3050 mm, so size is rarely a limiting factor. For a trophy that is presented and carried around, weight is usually the real constraint.
Is the price shown in the order module?
No, there are currently no printed trophies available in the module. Please request a quote by providing your design, the required size and the quantity, and we will then provide you with a price.
What is the difference between this and printing on plexiglass?
The same material and the same technique, but a different purpose. The ‘printing on Plexiglas’ page is about panels hung on a wall or in a room. Here, we’re talking about a small piece that someone can hold in their hands.
How long does the print stay looking good?
The ink is applied directly to the material; no stickers or labels are used. We do not specify a timeframe, as the lifespan of this print is not stated in our product data sheet.
What is the minimum order quantity?
From a certain quantity onwards – and that’s the most common question when it comes to trophies. For a series with different names or dates, we charge for the preparation only once.
Could you add a name or a year?
Yes, and that’s usually the reason why a trophy is printed rather than bought. Send us the list of names, and we’ll put them in a continuous print run.
What about the environmental aspect?
Plexiglass is not PVC-free and scores 2 out of 5. However, a trophy tends to stay on a cupboard for years, so in terms of years of use, it works out favourably.
Description Printed trophies
If you need to present an award at the end of a match, a tournament or a staff party, printed trophies are the perfect prize to hand out. Your design is printed directly onto plexiglass, so the winner’s name, the category and the year are incorporated into the image rather than appearing on a separate engraved plate. Plexiglass is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and clearly reproduces colour and fine details, which is important if a logo or photograph is to be included. The only requirement is a flat surface, as the print wraps around it: a rounded cup or a twisted goblet is not suitable. If you’d like to use the same technique on a large-format wall display, please see printing on plexiglass. If you’re looking for something for all participants, then printed key rings a step closer to a participant’s gift.

Materials for Printed trophies
Plexiglas in five thicknesses
2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 mm. The thicker sheets give the trophy a sense of weight in the hand, and that’s what makes a prize feel substantial.
Printed directly using UV technology
This creates vibrant colours and fine details. The surface must be flat, as the print needs to run across it.
Also on other flat surfaces
Acrylic, glass, wood and metal. The choice depends on the impression the price is intended to convey and on what can be engraved or printed on.
Format
- The sheets used in the production process will measure up to 3,050 mm until 2050
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
- Plexi is listed on the product information sheet as not PVC-free, with an Ecoscore of 2 out of 5
Good to know
- Not available via the ordering module; the price is determined on a quote basis
- A curved or twisted shape cannot be printed on; only a flat section can be printed on
- The print is on the surface, so it’s worth considering a protective coating
