What is Sand Etching?
We offer free etching on a single surface area on all our awards, using state-of-the art sandblasting equipment, where micro-abrasive chips carve your custom art onto the crystal, to show a rich and detailed impression, for an elegant and more precise look than laser engraving. The sandblast etching method is a high-quality engraving method of your custom artwork on all our awards products. It starts by applying a stencil to a product and filling in the artwork image with micro-abrasive chips applied at high pressure. The micro-abrasive chips erode the surface in the open areas of the stencil, leaving a permanent deep etched impression. See Artwork Info section for additional details.
Will the etching be on the exact location on each award?
The sand-etching process is done manually, and so the location of the artwork may vary slightly from one award piece to another. Ultimate Crystal Awards production team has years of industry experience and have implemented quality control process to produce high-quality, elegant, custom-etched awards to ensure your satisfaction. See Artwork Info section for additional details.
Can I add color to my awards?
We offer color-fill etched art for an additional charge of $10 per piece. Available colors are Gold and Silver – other colors may be available, contact Customer Service. See Artwork Info section for additional details.
