Bespoke Trophies

Custom Trophies Designed to Budget

At Gaudio Awards, we are the experts in trophy design and manufacture. Our experienced team will guide you through the entire process. One of the first questions you will be asked when you begin a new project with us is “what budget do you have for the trophies?” But why do we need this information and how is it used?

How much do trophies cost?

Gaudio Awards offer the complete range of awards and trophies, from off-the-shelf glass and crystal to custom designed acrylic, metal and 3d trophies. We have trophies for all budgets from £10 per trophy all the way up to £10,000 per trophy. Our online store includes hundreds of curated quality glass, crystal, wood and acrylic trophies and cups and the options with our bespoke trophies are limitless.

How much does a custom trophy cost?

For budgets of less than £100 per trophy we would generally recommend looking at our glass and crystal online shop. If you have a budget of more than £100 per trophy, or you are looking at larger quantities (more than 25 trophies) then our design team would certainly be able to create some custom options for you. Let’s take a look at what you can get for your budget.

Less than £100 per trophy

We have a fantastic range of in-house developed designs that are ready made, customisable and perfect for budgets of less than £100.

Tablet Awards
Our tablet awards are hugely popular, offering high quality, endless customisation and great value. We offer tablets (sometimes referred to as Tombstones) in acrylic, wood, metal and slate. Our basic tablets with colour print are available to personalise and order online:
Large rectangular acrylic trophy: From £37.08 ex VAT
Large rectangular metal trophy: From £57.22
Large rectangular oak wooden trophy: From £60.95
Large rectangular slate trophy: From £99.45

Custom Tablet Awards
Our designers can take one of our tablet awards as a base and then add hundreds of different customisation options to make it truly unique. For example, this clear acrylic tablet award has been elevated with layered print (hex pattern on the back, winners on the front) and the logo cut from metallic gold and red acrylic for a more 3d look. This would cost approximately £60 each for a quantity of 10. Other customisation options include foil printing, wood detail, painting, metal detail, rounded corners and custom colours.

Ready-Made Acrylic Trophies
Another very popular option is our pre-made acrylic trophies mounted on a brushed aluminium base. We offer a range of shapes including rectangle, circle, star, diamond and shield. These are available to personalise with your logo and text from £65.79 ex VAT. Again, these can be enhanced by our designers with various customisation options.

Tablet Render

£100 to £200 per trophy

With a budget of over £100 (and a quantity of 10+ trophies) we can start to look at completely custom shaped trophies. We can create a trophy shaped to your logo and finished with colour print or engraving. Material options include acrylic (clear, glass-effect, frosted, translucent colours, solid colours), metal, wood and slate.

Top and Base Awards
Recycled clear acrylic top, brushed aluminium base: From £125 ex VAT
Brushed aluminium top, brushed aluminium base: From £160 ex VAT
Gold painted aluminium top, brushed aluminium base: From £185 ex VAT

Acrylic Top Render

Freestanding Awards
Clear acrylic: From £100 ex VAT
Brushed aluminium: From £125 ex VAT
Sustainably sourced beech wood: From £100 ex VAT

Freestanding Designs

More than £200 per trophy

Once we get to budgets of more than £200 per trophy (and a quantity of 10+) then our designers can really start to create something special. A larger budget opens up new processes and finishes, including CNC machining of metal, acrylic and wood, 3d printing, encapsulation, anodising, plating and multi-component pieces. Here are some examples:

3d machined aluminium ball and stem, polished finish, black painted base
Silver plated hex-cup with gold plated inner lining
Gold and red anodised aluminium stacked cubes with debossed text

Top End assembly

This is just a small selection of examples to give you an idea of how budget can affect the design and the choices our designers make when designing-to-budget. If you are interested in commissioning a custom trophy design for your next event, please get in touch with our team to take advantage of our Free Design Service.

Blank

When you order a blank trophy, it will arrive without any personalised details. The trophy is blank for you to add your own personalisation, or use as a decorative piece.

Engraved

Engraving etches your design into the surface of the trophy.

Printed

Print is colour-matched. Based on variations in computer and screen settings, and manufacturing tolerances, colours may appear differently to what you see on screen.

Personalise Online

Select your layout using the dropdown menu, then enter your details. The live proof shows you an approximate visual of how your trophy will look when it’s engraved. Once you’ve added the details you want and purchased your trophy, we’ll begin manufacture right away.

Please note: The live render is an estimate of how your trophy will look, and the final result may vary in size, colour and placement.

Gaudio Proofing Service

With the Gaudio Proofing Service, simply add your chosen trophy to your cart and checkout as normal. A member of the team will be in touch to collect the required details, and we’ll send you proofs to approve before manufacture. Delivery time excludes proofing.
