Glassical Designs offers multiple imprint methods to achieve the right look, depth, and level of detail for each award. Each method is selected based on material, design, and desired finish—ensuring the final piece reflects both your brand and the significance of the recognition.
Color-Fuse
Color-Fuse applies full-color images directly to crystal, glass, or acrylic. Designs can cover the full surface or be used as an accent to enhance etched elements. Ideal for logos, gradients, and detailed graphics that require vibrant, high-resolution color.
Sandblast Etching
Sandblast Etching creates a deep, frosted engraving by blasting the surface of glass or crystal with fine abrasive material. This produces a refined, dimensional finish with greater depth and clarity than surface-level engraving.
(Not available for acrylic.)
Color Fill
Color Fill enhances etched areas by adding metallic or colored fills, such as silver or gold acrylic paint. This adds contrast and visual impact while preserving the depth of the engraving. Most commonly used on colored glass pieces like cobalt blue or black crystal.
Laser Engraving
Laser Engraving uses a focused beam to remove material from the surface of an award. While effective on some materials—especially acrylic—it is generally less preferred for glass or crystal due to its lighter, less dimensional mark.
