Description
The Aberdeen plaque is a wood recognition piece finished in black piano gloss, measuring 12" x 15" with a 10" x 13" option. A sublimated plate sits on the body, giving the award a defined surface for the message it carries.
Sublimation fuses dye into the plate surface, so full-color artwork, gradients, and small text read cleanly without a raised feel. That makes the plaque suited to a name, a citation, or a company mark presented at a recognition moment.
Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your artwork is applied to the plaque's sublimated plate by Sublimation, which fuses dye into the surface for a smooth, full-color image with no raised feel. Sublimation suits full-color, photographic, or gradient-heavy artwork; for a single flat color or an exact spot-color match, the process will approximate rather than reproduce the target.
SublimationFull-color imprint · 1 location included · no setup charge
Full Color Sublimation uses heat to convert solid dye into a gas that fuses directly into the material — not applied as a surface layer. The result is completely smooth, with no hand or texture, and reproduces photographic artwork with crisp detail and seamless gradients. Because the dye is embedded rather than sitting on the surface, the mark stays fade-resistant for the life of the item.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does full-color sublimation look like?
- Sublimation uses heat to turn solid dye into a gas that fuses directly into the material, rather than sitting on the surface as a layer. The result is completely smooth, with no texture you can feel, and reproduces photographic artwork with crisp detail and seamless gradients across the whole decoration area. Because the dye is embedded, the image stays fade-resistant for the life of the item. More about Full Color Sublimation →
- Is sublimation a good choice for a single-color logo?
- Usually not. Sublimation renders color as a close process simulation, so a flat, solid brand color or an exact Pantone match is approximated rather than reproduced. It shines when the artwork is full-color, photographic or gradient-heavy and needs to wash edge to edge across the surface. For a solid spot-color logo choose screen print or pad print.

- How does rush production work at Promotion Pros?
- Your deadline is the production clock. When you order rush, the countdown starts the moment you check out with print-ready artwork, not after a digital proof is approved. Most suppliers will not start the clock until a proof is signed off, which quietly adds days to a fast-turn promise; a rush order goes to production immediately, so the turnaround you pick is the turnaround you get.
