At Gaudio Awards, we make the trophy ordering process simple and stress-free. Our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way, from concept through to delivery, ensuring your customised trophies are nothing short of spectacular. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ordering your custom awards with us.

How to Order a Custom Trophy in 6 Simple Steps

1) Make an Enquiry

The first step to ordering your custom trophies is reaching out to our friendly team. Within our Get a Quote form, we’ll ask you for some simple information about your awards, including:

  • The quantity of custom trophies needed. This helps us provide ballpark pricing and begin to think of design ideas.  
  • Your budget per trophy. Not everyone has a budget in mind – but if you do, we can advise on the best options within your price range.
  • The date your trophies are required by. This helps us determine which award design options are achievable within your timeframe.

You can also share any additional information regarding your event details, design preferences, materials and personalisation options. Feel free to attach any supporting files such as company logos or brand guidelines; this helps us to build up a visual picture of your brand and trophy requirements.

There’s no need for winners’ details at this stage, as these will be finalised during the trophy proofing stage.

2) Receive Your Artwork

This is where the fun part begins! Once we have your brief, our in-house designers will create stunning 2D and 3D visuals of your trophies using the latest industry-leading design software. The artwork will be sent over alongside a quote for your approval. You’ll then have the opportunity to review the design and provide feedback. If the visuals aren’t quite right, just let us know – we can tweak the designs as many times as you like. 

Please rest assured that our trophy design service is totally free and there is no obligation to place an order. This stage is all about refining the design until you find exactly what you’re looking for. 

3) Place Your Order

Once you’re happy with the design and quote, it’s time to place your order. We’ll send over a detailed order confirmation breaking down the quantity, materials, cost, and delivery details of your trophies. Make sure you carefully review the document so you’re aware of all the important deadlines. Then, just confirm the order via email, sit back and relax…

4) Proofing Stage

A thorough proofing stage is included within every custom trophy order. Before we actually engrave or print your trophies, we’ll need the final winners’ details that will appear on each trophy. You’ll then receive a final PDF proof of each individual award. This is your opportunity to check for any issues with the logo, font, colours, layout and spelling. No trophies will be produced without your approval, so we highly recommend checking each proof carefully and making sure your customised trophies are event-ready.

Once you’ve reviewed your proofs, simply sign off via email, and we’ll proceed to manufacturing.

5) Manufacturing

Now, it’s time to bring your custom trophies to life! Our expert craftspeople will manufacture your trophies and awards at our state-of-the-art UK production centre. Using a range of advanced techniques including 3D printing, CNC machining, laser printing, and painting, we’ll make sure your awards accurately reflect your vision. Each award is quality checked throughout the production process, before being hand-assembled and finished in-house. 

If you’d like any images or videos of the trophy manufacturing process for your marketing or social media, we can supply behind-the-scenes content upon request.

5) Delivery

There’s no better feeling than unboxing your trophies and seeing your brand new customised awards looking fresh and polished, just in time for your event.

Once manufacturing is complete, your trophies are carefully packed using our triple-layer protection method to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Our dedicated couriers will usually ship your order within 3-5 working days, or you can opt for our next-day delivery service. International delivery and delivery to multiple addresses is also available on request.

We offer a wide variety of stock and fulfilment services, as well as bespoke packaging options, to ensure your trophies are delivered to your exact requirements. Need your stock holding for a while? Our warehouse has space. Looking for a flight case to transport your trophies abroad? We’ve got plenty.

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.

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.
