Frequently Asked Questions
What type of artwork is accepted?
We accept corel draw, adobe illustrator, eps, jpg, bmp, and png. The higher the resolution the better. We do not take graphics ripped off of the internet as they are too low of a resolution. If we have to change or clean any artwork on your logo, an artwork charge may apply.
Can I see the merchandise in person?
Yes. We have a showroom with more options for awards located in Downtown Milwaukee. Our address is 1021 N. Old World Third Street. (One block east of the Bradley Center).
How much does engraving cost?
Most lettering for our products are included at NO additional costs. Perpetual plaques and medals would be the exception. Some items (including etched crystals, acrylics and marble) may require a set up fee. There is typically only one setup fee for all items of a common type. For instance, if you ordered five pieces of a crystal tower, only one setup fee would apply to all five. Our set up fee covers the cost of prepping each item for etching or engraving.

Yes. We offer embroidery, screening printing, heat transfer, cast bronze, promotional items, name tags, glassware, framing, wearables, and much more. Please contact one of our sales representatives if there is something you don’t see.
What if my awards arrive damaged or engraved incorrectly?
Your order is very important to us. In the event that we make an error, we will replace the incorrect item(s) as quickly as possible at our expense. If the error was made on your part (i.e. Incorrect spelling of name) we will still replace the incorrect piece as quickly as we can for a nominal fee. Regardless of the nature of the error, we will make every effort to have the corrected award to you in time for your presentation. No products may be returned without approval from one of our representatives. Because of the highly personalized nature of awards, only items received late or incorrect are eligible for refund consideration. Most of our products are NOT reusable after they have been engraved or etched, though in some cases, an engraving plate can be replaced in order to utilize the award for a different occasion or recipient. Please contact us to discuss the case-by-case basis. Note: crystals and acrylics cannot be reused or “erased”.
