Are The Days Of “Old School” Or “Old Fashioned” Awards And Trophies Will Soon Be Over?
In vs. Out | Current vs. Obsolete | Candy Bar/Slab Phone vs. Foldable Phones Let’s begin by looking at those popular designs that find its way to populate your display shelves or dividers. All are mainly identical in color, size, shape and form. Unless the recipient is very much overwhelmed with all his/her accomplishments that regardless of the Trophy or Award, the recognition supersedes them all. But wait! Don’t you think your skill set deserves far better than what is readily available? As how VIPs and VVIPs are treated, why can’t you be treated the same way or far better? Since you earned the recognition; rather than just appointed or assigned to you. Sports is largely the mainstream where trophies and awards are prime commodity at the culmination of the event. The question is, “Why can’t it be highly customized (if not sophisticated)? Crystal Corp. does just that. Be it in Crystal or 3D Printing, either or both can highly be customized. But how? You may ask. You are free to explore even above and beyond your wildest imagination — we altogether make your creative minds execute it in tangible material. Finishes with look and feel of bronze, silver, gold in glossy or matte is not at all difficult. Crystal Corp. is not limited in its market reach reshaping the future of awards and recognition industry. Sports is and will always be at the forefront of the most popular event where trophies are used. But, we have a lengthy list to start with in changing the boring look and feel of “old school” trophy, award, and plaque; including medal designs. 1. Football 2. Cricket 3. Golf 4. Tennis 5. Hockey 6. Baseball 7. Basketball 8. Badminton 9. Volleyball 10. Rugby 11. Table Tennis 12. Archery 13. Darts 14. Swimming 15. Pool 16. Bowling MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions/Events) in the corporate world evolves with the trend slowly but surely. Employee centered awards may include: 1. Achievement Award 2. Outstanding Award 3. Excellence Award 4. Appreciation Award 5. Best Employee Award 6. Best Performance award 7. Long Service Award 8. Farewell Retail is never the same years ago, as it blends with the trend of highly customized or bespoke gifts, trophies and awards. 1. Birthdays 2. Weddings 3. Wedding Anniversaries 4. Christmas 5. New Year 6. Mother’s Day 7. Father’s Day 8. Graduation Day The proverbial, “Think Out-Of-The-Box” phrase has crept into the awards, recognition and gifting industry. Reason behind why we now see, out of this world designs and strange items being made and given in awarding ceremonies. 1. Block of Wood 2. Fragment of a Rock 3. Artifact 4. Antiques 5. And almost anything that can be carried with either one or two hands From all of the aforementioned trophies, awards, plaques, gifts and giveaways you may not find one awards and trophies supplier or vendor that does it all. Adding to the repertoire: 1. Personalized 3D Laser engraving 2. 2D Portrait to 3D Laser engraving 3. Customized Crystal Trophy 4. Bespoke Metal Award From all of the aforementioned trophies, awards, plaques, gifts and giveaways you may not find one awards and trophies supplier or vendor that does it all. Two Basic Requirements When Ordering Customized Trophies and Awards are 1. Time 2. Amount Time: Time refers to the production time. Unlike old school readily available designs wherein you will only have to add the awardee’s name on the award to get the job done, with personalized or highly custom-made trophy more often you start from scratch or on paper to the real material. We do not have time to get technical, but it is a painstaking job from start to finish. Amount: Money talks, Budget is all it takes when you want your occasion, event or activity to standout. Do not even think about bespoke memento when you are tight on the money. Since custom-made trophy, customized award and/or personalized gift come with a price. Price may be double, triple or more..(Though not at all times) depending on the complexity of the design and types of material combined you require. Our TakeCrystal Corporation LLC (Crystal Corp.) “Endless Possibilities…” the pioneer in bringing crystal trophies and awards to the gulf region does not at all undermine the “Old School” or “Old Fashioned” designs of trophies and awards. But, we neither settle on what most people are familiar and had grown-up with. Whether or not the days of “old school” trophies and awards will soon be over, we at Crystal Corp. love to customize, than just placing the name of the person, team, company or entity in digital self-curing UV printing, deep or reverse engraving or laser engraving. “As we constantly continue to raise the bar” in the awards, gifting and recognition industry, our job is to deliver per our valued clients’ demanding requirements and high expectation in record time collaborating our expertise in architectural and engineering Maquette – Model Making, bespoke 3D Printing, creative 3D Animation and customized Trophies and Awards.
What Can Be 3D Printed? Or What Can A 3D Printer Cannot Print?
Good question. Before it gets complicated like a relationship, the answer to such general question in 3D printing models or prototypes may be a never ending list, in categories, according to dimensions, usage or anything you can imagine to serve its purpose. 1. Industries (manufacturing, medical, automotive & etc.)2. Dimensions (millimeter to meters)3. Usage (industrial, business, home, office & etc.) These are just few ways to streamline your search according to interest in the field of 3D Printing. As 3D Printing tech is increasingly becoming ubiquitous in any industry (if not all), there is definitely no reason to under estimate its capabilities. We live up to the high-expectation of our valued clients in implementing and executing demanding intricate bespoke 3D printing jobs given under time constraints in Model Making and Personalized Trophies/Awards combined. Crystal Corp.’s constant growth in expanding its coverage by introducing new products and innovative services in 3D Printing will not disappoint you in any way. 1. 3D Modelling 2. 3D Printing 3. 3D Scanning 4. Prototyping 5. Full Scale Production 6. Post Processing and Finishing What are the basic details you need to provide when going for 3D Printing? 1. 3D file (i.e. .obj or .stl or others) 2. No 3D file? Not a problem. You may provide the item or object for us to 3D scan it for you that you will have the 3D file thereafter. 3. No item or object? Not a problem still. You may provide the drawing with the dimensions, for us to develop it into a 3D file. This is just the basic. What comes next could be 4. The type of finish you require as far as detailing is concerned. I.e. FDM or SLA. FDM may not provide high detail compared to SLA that delivers even the minute details you wish to make visible. 5. Its purpose. If you require it for heavy duty task or just as an accessory or display. This will then identify if filament, nylon or other material can withstand the stress or not applicable at all. 6. Other properties. Such as malleability or flexibility, i.e. for medical purpose in dental or surgery related needs. This stage may impose a complex requirement compared to just a spare part or certain object. Takeaway The answer to the question, “What can be 3D printed?” We do not have the answer for now. But, why? There is no easy way to predict the future when it comes to technology. Who can put a limit to human minds the way things are evolving in our day and age today? Famous people like late Steve Jobs of Apple once made a bold statement, “Who would use a big mobile phone?” Let alone buy one. Samsung might have pioneered it. Until Iphone not only makes big phones now, but also include a Pencil for their Ipads; when on the sideline Steve mocks it (stylus/S pen) during his glory days while bringing to the world the full screen — no physical keypad on a mobile or cellular phone. Thus, our final take, “It remains to be seen.” To stay up-to-date on our latest projects, new products and innovative services, best to subscribe here.
How To Avoid Common Mistakes When Ordering Trophies Or Awards?
Trophies and awards are priceless token in appreciation of your hard work and dedication. What can be a real mess than a spoiler alert cum the big day of the event or occasion you discovered last minute that the crystal trophy or 3D printed award is not what you actually expected. This could just be another worst case scenario of your life! Calm down. Let us discuss in this blog the nitty gritty of the matter that contributed to such turnaround beyond the inevitable. Trophies, awards, mementoes, gifts and giveaways belong to the awards and recognition industry that is a very vital part of MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions).You must also agree that outside of MICE, crystal trophy, metal awards or 3D printed mementoes are also in demand for sports, small occasion or recognition either retail or small business enterprise such as: 1. Championship Trophy2. Player of the Year Award3. Hole in One4. Best Employee of the Month/Year5. Outstanding Achievement Award6. Loyalty Award7. Best Mom in the World Award8. Best Dad in the World Award9. Wedding gifts and Giveaways10. Many others Do not assume. But be assured.Here’s a short list of important details that you must take a second look at and be sure to double check before and after placing your order.1. Design and size (i.e. ready-made or customized, in mm, cm or inches)2. Material (i.e. made of or built from crystal, 3D print, metal, acrylic or combination)3. Quantity (i.e. may get complicated if in categories)4. Time and date of delivery (i.e. production time)5. Box (cardboard, velvet, leather, wood or combination)Believe it or not, these are often missed out; though not all. But pay careful attention that each of these is equally important to the end-result of your expected trophy or award ordered. The Go-ahead Signal or Approval. This is the most crucial part of the ordering process. You might be raising your eyebrows by now, asking yourself, “but why?” Simply because there is so much to learn and know in ordering trophies and awards more than you thought that it is peanut; with the exemption if you are doing a repeat order perhaps. Allow us to elaborate why? 1. Design and size (i.e. ready-made or customized, in mm, cm or inches)♦ You will need a mock-up or artwork for this, with special attention to the unit of measurement being used.♦ Request for 3 views at least. a) Front view b) Side view c) Perspective view.♦ May not be applicable for standard ready-made designs like, star, circle, rectangle and etc. 2. Material (i.e. made of or built from crystal, 3D print, metal, acrylic or combination)♦ This might just be the deal breaker in terms of weight or price of your trophy or award.♦ 3D printed trophy, award or memento is always less in weight; if not very light when hollow. Since it is normally printed in resin or plastic material.♦ Metal may just give you the opposite value on its weight. Metal trophy and award is more often solid on the inside.♦ Crystal compensates to both. Not light as 3D printed trophy or acrylic memento, and is neither heavy as metal award. 3. Quantity (i.e. may get complicated if in categories)♦ If it is not in bulk, this may not play its part.♦ For bulk order having different sizes, shape or form, this can be as complicated as a relationship.♦ Tedious job? Yes indeed. You really have to check each and every piece to not second guess that all are perfectly done. 4. Time and date of delivery (i.e. production time), and♦ “When do you need it?” or “When is your deadline?” This is an instant response from your trophy or award supplier should you ask for questions like, “I need a crystal trophy for our big event,” “Do you have ready-made design award in metal?”♦ You have to be clear of their answer. As it can go either way. At times you may be told, they need seven (7) days to accomplish the job.♦ Counter ask if, seven (7) days is working days or regardless.♦ The same principle applies to you, should you are asked the same way. 5. Box (cardboard box, velvet box, leather box, wooden box or combination of materials) ♦ Majority may not be particular on the type of box that the trophy will be delivered or collected. To think, you do not display an award on the shelf inside a box. Right? Good point. But not at all in general. In prestigious events, the boxes and awards are both displayed altogether in bigger stage or convention hall, auditorium or open arena.♦ Everybody would agree that, the “package” presentation contributes a lot to the overall work no matter what the product may be. Thus, it is as important as the aforementioned items on the list; if not the most important.♦ You will be surprise that the box can cost higher than the trophy or award for complex high end box like leather, wood combined with crystal, glass or acrylic as an enclosure.♦ Box keeps the product safe and secure, especially for transporting it from one place to another. Takeaways We recommend to refresh and double check the entire provided details, before typing “Approved” and clicking that “send” button to give the go signal to proceed with the production.The “ifs” and “buts” questions can be never ending. One thing that is guaranteed, after going through these tips and tricks you are now an “expert” in pocuring crystal trophies, awards, mementoes, gifts and giveaways. Obviously, that includes other materials or made. From 3D printed trophies, acrylic trophies, metal awards, wooden gifts and giveaways.
