Free AI + Human Design Setup

Need Help Designing Your Awards?

Every Awards Printing order includes Free Design Setup, which means you do not need to arrive with perfect artwork. Send a sketch, logo, screenshot, Canva file, old PDF, phone photo, rough notes, or just a business goal. Our AI-assisted workflow can explore layout ideas, headlines, color palettes, icon directions, photo placement, and audience-specific messaging, then a real human graphic designer cleans it up and prepares the file for print. Customers use Awards for employee recognition (years-of-service, sales-leader, and milestone awards.), corporate events (annual gala, sales kickoff, and retreat awards.), sports trophies (tournament, league, and championship trophies.), charity & nonprofit (volunteer-of-the-year and donor recognition.), schools & academics (honor-roll, valedictorian, and graduation awards.), and related campaigns where the first impression has to feel intentional. We also consider the real search language customers use, including "custom awards and plaques near me", "custom trophy and plaques near me", "custom awards and trophies near me", so the finished piece matches how buyers actually think about this product.

For Awards, the design team checks the practical details that make the difference between a pretty mockup and a piece that prints correctly: bleed, trim, safe zone, contrast, readable type size, image resolution, CMYK color, finish compatibility, fold direction, dielines, placement, and whether the design still works from the distance or handling context customers will experience. If your order needs personalization, QR codes, coupon codes, addresses, names, product SKUs, or multiple versions, we help organize the artwork so it stays clean and easy to approve.

You can use the service to create a brand-new design, refresh an older layout, adapt one idea into multiple sizes, build a matching campaign set, or convert a low-resolution concept into a print-ready file. Upload what you have through the form above and choose Free Design Setup. We send a digital proof before production, and nothing prints until you approve it. The result is a smarter Awards order: better-looking artwork, fewer file problems, faster approval, and a final product built by both AI speed and human print judgment.

Included with every order

AI-assisted ideas. Fast concept exploration for layouts, calls-to-action, color directions, and campaign angles.
Human graphic design review. A real designer refines the best direction and protects brand quality.
Print-ready setup. Bleed, trim, safe zones, resolution, CMYK, dielines, folds, and finishing details checked before production.

What sizes and styles do you offer for Custom Awards and Plaques?

Awards ship in our standard sizes plus fully custom dimensions on request — see the Specifications & Options table above for the most-ordered measurements. If your project needs a non-standard size, just choose Custom on the form and add the dimensions in the special instructions.

How is engraving done on Custom Awards and Plaques (laser, sandblast, full color UV)?

Awards are produced using the right method for the material: digital direct print and dye-sublimation for fabrics; UV flatbed for rigid substrates; offset and digital press for paper; screen printing and DTG/DTF for apparel; engraving and laser etching for metal and acrylic. The order form recommends the best method based on your selections.

Can each Awards And Plaque include a unique recipient name and date?

Yes — every Awards can be personalized with variable data: each piece printed with a different name, address, code, signature, or message. Upload a CSV with one row per piece and we'll merge it into the design before printing.

What is the minimum order for Custom Awards and Plaques?

Awards have low minimums — many start as low as 25 pieces. Single-piece orders are available on personalized and digitally-printed items. See the Pricing table above for the volumes that unlock the best per-unit price.

What file format and resolution should I upload for Custom Awards and Plaques?

We accept print-ready PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG, and TIFF files. PDFs with embedded fonts and 300 dpi raster art reproduce best. Not sure what you have? Upload it and our team will tell you what's needed — file review is free with every Awards order.

Do I need to add bleed, safe zone, and crop marks to my awards and plaque artwork?

Add 0.125" (3 mm) bleed on all sides and keep important content (text, logos, faces) at least 0.125" inside the trim line. We run a free file check on every order and will email you if anything needs adjustment before production.

Should my awards and plaque artwork be in CMYK or RGB color mode?

Awards print in CMYK at 300 dpi. If you upload an RGB file we'll automatically convert it (free) and call out any colors that need attention. Brand-critical colors? Specify the Pantone (PMS) values in your file or in the special instructions box and we'll match where the printing process supports it.

Can your design team create Custom Awards and Plaques artwork if I do not have any?

Free Design Setup is included with every Awards order. Upload a sketch, an old logo, or even a phone photo and our team builds it into a print-ready file. Or upload your own print-ready PDF and we'll review it free of charge.
