These days, everyone wants custom trophies for schools, companies, contests, and ceremonies in India. Instead of boring, off-the-shelf stuff, people want trophies that show off their brand or event.
So, to give you an idea of how it all works, here’s the lowdown on how the top trophy makers in India create custom awards.
Get What the Client Wants
Every trophy starts with knowing what the client needs:
✔ Type of event
Work thing? Sports? School awards? Something else?
✔ What the trophy is for
Winner? Second place? Best worker? Big achievement?
✔ Price and how many
Just a few or a whole bunch?
✔ The brand
Logo, colors, words, style, general vibe.
Trophy companies get all this info to cook up a design that’s spot-on for the event.
Pick the Stuff to Make It From
Trophies can be made from all sorts of things, depending on the design and how much you want to spend. Some choices are:
Acrylic – Modern, colorful, cheap
Metal – Fancy, lasts long, heavy
Crystal/Glass – Really stylish and high-end
Wood – Classic and cool
Mix and match – Like acrylic and wood, or metal and crystal.
What you pick sets the tone for how the trophy looks, feels, and weighs.
Come Up With the Trophy Design
This is where the magic happens. Designers make 2D or 3D versions based on what the client wants.
What goes into the design:
Shape (like a logo, shield, or even a person)
Colors
How the words/images will be put on
Size and how it all fits together
What materials to use
Clients get to see a digital version and say “yes” before anything gets made.
Cut and Shape the Trophy Pieces
Once the design is good to go, they start cutting and shaping using machines:
Acrylic :
Lasers make perfect cuts.
Wood:
Special routers cut and carve the wood.
Metal:
They use molds to shape the metal.
Crystal/Glass:
They cut and polish each piece carefully.
This is where the trophy starts to take shape.
Add the Details
This part makes the award unique.
Ways to add details:
Laser engraving (names, dates, logos)
Color printing (logos and art)
Metal plate engraving
Sandblasting on glass
They have to line everything up just right so it looks good.
Put It All Together
The different parts – base, main piece, logo, etc. – get stuck together using:
Super strong glue
Screws
Special tools to get it lined up right
The aim is to make sure the trophy is strong, balanced, and looks cool.
Polish It Up
Every trophy gets polished and checked over.
This means:
Smoothing the edges
Getting rid of scratches
Making it shiny or not-shiny
Cleaning it
Making sure it’s sturdy
This makes sure the trophy looks top-notch.
Check It and Pack It
They look closely at each trophy to make sure:
✔ The engraving is right
✔ It’s made well
✔ Everything lines up
✔ It’s strong
✔ It looks good
If it passes, they wrap it up in bubble wrap or special boxes, especially if it’s glass or crystal.
