Plaque Award History
Plaques is where most of the corporate awards started from. But,the awards industry really didn't want to do plaques, because it took so long to engrave on a panograph engraver. The engraver had to calculate the highest line and the lowest line to engrave on the plaque. What made it even harder was one of the lines needed to be larger for the name of the recipiatant. This messed up the calculation. The engraver had to set type for one line at a time, engrave it. Tear down the type. Set the type for the next line, engrave it. Then a customer comes in and messes up the engravers consecration. I usually waited until closing time to engrave plaques. Then the phone rang and messed up my consecration. Today, we have computer engravers, now we can set up proofs for the customer. When everything has been proofed, we push the button and let the computer engrave the plaque. The computer has allowed us to engrave logos and graphics with ease. Now the engraving industry promotes plaques for awards.
Today, most plaques are engraved using Laser Engravers. This has allowed different color plates. It has really opened the customers choices for award plaques. If you look to the right and down, you will find a plaque where we can even reproduce a photo on metal and include it on a plaque.
