All American Awards and their Creative Custom Acrylic Awards

About 25 years ago, laser engravers hit the scene in the awards and recognition industry.  Shortly after that, acrylic awards were developed.  At first, the acrylic awards were very plain and somewhat unimaginative as they were pretty much just square, rectangular or round in shape.  Understand, that those acrylic awards were "cutting edge" at the time.  Then as the finishing process was improved, stars, teardrop and other shapes were added.

At that time, about the only way to decorate (add text and/or logos) the acrylic awards was to use a laser engraver that gave the engraving a frosted look.  As technology progressed, acrylic award options grew tremendously.  With the advent of CNC machines and more powerful lasers, very intricate shapes became possible.  Acrylic awards shaped like a logo were possible so that creators weren't limited to just engraving the image of a logo on a standard rectangular shape.  Mixed media components using acrylic, glass, marble, wood, resin, granite, brass and aluminum added yet more possibilities when designing custom acrylic awards.  With development of direct to substraight printing, color filled laser engraving and even color transfer technology, it became easier than ever to develop distinctive custom acrylic awards.

Just as acrylic awards have improved over time, so has All American Awards in the Charleston, SC area,  With our modern equipment and our imagination, we're able to help you develop the signature award that you'd like for your company or organization.  When it's time to talk to someone about your awards ideas and needs, please visit our showroom in Mt.Pleasant, or visit our website at www.awardsguy.com and let us help you design awards that will make you proud.

Acrylic Awards in Charleston sure have changed over the years! All American Awards is not just another Trophy Store.

About 25 years ago, the laser engraver was introduced to the awards industry.  Right after that, the acrylic award was born.  Initially, the shapes available were square, rectangular, and maybe round. Back then, that was "cutting edge" stuff.  The laser engraver made it possible to easily personalize the acrylic award, leaving an attractive frosted look to the text and logos engraved.

As the years progressed, laser engravers became more powerful and intricate shapes could be cut out of the acrylic.  Thicker acrylic awards could also be made.  With the advent of the ability to tint the acrylic colors with foils or in the pouring process, acrylic awards became the ultimate award. Because of the ability to easily cut shapes and to add color graphics (by using "direct to substraight" printers, color transfer technology and even color filled laser engraving), acrylic awards became and still are one of the most versitile and impressive options for custom awards.

When it comes time for you to create your custom awards, please visit our showroom in Mt. Pleasant or take a look at our website ( www.awardsguy.com ) for ideas.  Also, please don't forget that All American Awards also provides crystal awards, custom sculptures, name badges, donor recognition dplaques, bronze plaques, banners, rubber stamps, recognition plaques, trophies, medals, lapel pins and just about anything else you need a name or logo on.
